Most biographies don’t allow enough words to share everything about yourself, especially in a guest blog post or something like that. Of the many things I’d love others to know, one is that I enjoy taking nature pictures.
I share them on Instagram and Facebook. My mom suggested I make sure I have hard copies of the pictures. I have only used my phone camera, so the pix have always been my Galaxy at the time, or currently, my iPhone 8. Each Christmas I present her with the year’s worth of pictures I took.
While I organized them for her, there were a few that stood out. I thought I would share them here.
August 2017, Highway Tabernacle in Youngstown. I finished up a book club meeting on the property and turned toward the church. The sun was setting, and this just is peaceful to me.This was the eclipse in NE Ohio. I closed my eyes and took a series of pictures. I couldn’t believe any turned out. This is in between the trees.My kids know if there is a good picture and I’m driving, they take it for me. This is my daughter’s handiwork, and I love it. A perfect visual of rural life.Hydrangeas from our yard. I feel like I could reach out and touch them.This is my hometown, Corning, NY, and historic Market Street. I love the lights and snowflakes.This year I wanted to get a couple fog pictures. This isn’t far from our neighborhood.I feel like I captured the fog!
As I age, I’m learning things that were NEVER in my radar in my younger years. -That I would think twice about an event that starts at nine at night because I go to bed at ten. -I not only can’t eat whatever I want, I don’t want to. It’s either too much, makes me…
You’ve seen an empty juicebox. My hearing is sensitive enough that when my daughter tries to get that last drop and the pouch flails, gasping for breath, it hurts my ears. But the visual speaks volumes. When I was a mother of a preschooler, this was how they explained a moms need to rest, even…
