Find a Shady Tree ...


This Quote Made Me Think ... 

When was the last time you sat under a shady tree to keep cool?

Built a sandcastle?

Drove with the windows down?

Ate Cotton Candy? 

I am glad to say I have done a few things on this list, Recently ...
But I wish I could say I have done more off of the list above ... 

These are the Simple pleasures in life ...
I think we all need to start living a bit more ...
I am not saying, to do expensive days out ... 

  Simple Pleasures ... 

 Bake Cookies 
Count The Stars 
Smores 

When was the last time to bought yourself for under $10?

  1. This list is fun! And I have to say, I did many of these things lately, except eating a cotton candy, and I regret that. I'll have to do that very soon!
    It's amazing how these simple things can make us happy. Nothing expensive, as you said, just simple beautiful things. Feeling a bit like a child...always refreshing. :)

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,...
