Earth Month

As Earth Day is in April, the whole months becomes Earth Month to me. I think it is very fitting to have Earth Day in April as everything comes back to life with a vengeance after a long dark winter. I noticed several posts on Facebook this month of people posting what they pledge to …

Waking up

It has been more than two years since my last post. I am not quite sure why I stopped writing. Maybe it is because they stopped doing the daily prompts on the WordPress Reader or maybe it is just my new job taking over and drowning out my writing urges. I am not sure. Since …

Closer Look

I was super stoked when I saw this week's photo challenge! I finally got myself a Macro lens and have been experimenting with it. The very reason I love Macro photography is the fact that it makes every day things seem otherworldly! It is simply fascinating!  Here are three that I chose. I hope you …

Progress

Courage is a funny thing, a concept I often struggle with. Most often I am a "sticking my head in the sand" kind of person. I have dreams and desires, but then chicken out and hide behind my comfort zone. But every once in a while I take a deep breath, gather up all my …

Swimming

A new year has begun and more and more I struggle with keeping me calm and just going with the flow, which is something I have worked on really hard this past year. As my shoulder injury drags on and my patience on waiting for insurance decisions is starting to wear really thin, I find …

Playing with Angles

I haven't gotten a chance to go out with my camera and shoot some new stuff lately. I really want to experiment with night photography again, which would have been perfect for this weeks challenge. However, my shoulder injury has been affecting my hobbies, especially taking pictures considerably. I have a hard time holding my …

Moments

It took me a couple of days to work up to this week's photo challenge of "temporary". Isn't everything temporary really? Even the most sturdy stone wall or granite mountain will eventually crumble. Anyways, here is my take on this week's challenge. Enjoy! 🙂 Snow! I used to love it as a kid, followed by …

Found

"I lost myself and don't know where to start looking", she cries. Gingerly drying the tears on her cheeks, the Universe answers: "Don't look for yourself in yesterday and don't bother trying to find yourself in tomorrow. Take a deep breath, open your eyes, look where you are right now, today, and then go from …
