Dance in the Rain ...

It is a rainy Thursday here in New England. As I write this I can hear the cars going by, and splashing in the puddles. When I was younger, I did not like the rain. Somehow, Rainy days are refreshing to me as I get older. I think of it as a break from extremely warm days. Sort of like a cleansing for a better to come.

I have kept this photo for quite sometime, for the perfect post. I chose to use it today. Do you find yourself saving something for the right moment? Like using only the good china and flatware for the holidays? Or saving a new candle when company is coming over? Or holding onto a bottle of champagne for a special celebration? I would love to hear your thoughts ...

    Lovely photo Kristine!
    Yes, I do that all the time! I always have "something" put aside for people I love and want to surprise them when the moment is right. I even bought something for my husband as a part of the Christmas gift! I had to; it was so sweet, and I thought-"I'll buy it and hide it, because it might be sold later". :)

    Great hearing from you, Sonja - Yes - I would imagine that you are the type of person who keeps special things aside, for the right person - Very thoughtful. I love doing the same thing, it makes it extra special knowing we purchased these items with the person in mind :)

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

Picture Frame Friday ...

So, These are the benefits of having your own blog - Usually, On Fridays it is Poetry Friday but I wanted to change things up a bit. I thought I would write regarding a question I have been asked quite frequently these days. How do I decide the a photo is worth taking? Or how do I know that it will be a good shot? I came across this photograph (above) and thought this would be perfect to help me explain. Many times I have an imaginary frame in my mind of what I want my photo to look like. Off to the left a bit, off to the right, etc - I also tape the LCD display before I go out shooting. I learned this years ago, and it has really improved my work.  (It keeps me shooting - An average shoot on any given day is approximately 100 shots.)This way, I do not waste time checking photos. It forces you to save that work for when you return home. This way, you are not deleting pictures that may please you on the computer, but not in the camera. Hoping these tricks and tips help you,...
