Time to Stop

by patricia emerson mitchell4 Comments on Time to Stop

Hm … let’s see: made a soup I’m not sure I like, and in my attempt to repair the under counter lazy Susan (the top shelf had started to drift lower) I think I might have broken it. (I can’t get the center pole to be completely stable … in case anyone has the solution to that.)

Yep. A good day to stop trying to do anything productive, I think. 

(Earlier today I was thinking, “I really need to actually WRITE on my photo site, rather than merely post a photo. I did not have this kind of writing in mind, however.. Go figure.)

Here … have a flower …

Oops … sorry about that!

by patricia emerson mitchell2 Comments on Oops … sorry about that!

If you get emails about posts here you received a puzzling one yesterday, so I will explain: I had put together a couple of boxed sets due to a friends’ request. I wanted to share them with her, and thought if I password protected a post she could then see them. What I didn’t realize is that everyone else received an email about the post. I heard from a few people, asking about the password issue. So I do apologize.

And yes, I will share the “Orange Flora” boxed sets very soon. Promise!

Meanwhile, look at what my new iPhone 14 can do! I was totally amazed that I could get this close. I think the ladybug was as well.

Saturday Morning Flower

This image is one from yesterday morning’s walk. As I was shooting these gorgeous flowers, which included some lovely variegated leaves (that I’ve yet to shoot in a way I really like), another walker stopped and chatted. Turns out she, too, is a photographer. So here’s a shoutout to Susan, who has her Musin’ Wish Susan website. Thanks for stopping to chat!

First Shot

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a first shot. These are just what that implies: it’s the very first shot out of my camera. These forget-me-nots were what caused me to pull my camera out even before going one mile. My general “rule” is to walk two miles before pulling the camera out. I don’t always succeed in obeying that self-imposed rule!

Today’s walk was rather lovely when it comes to weather, but sadly it really shouldn’t be that way. We desperately need rain here, and such warm temperatures are more than a little worrisome. But on the bright side, I managed to walk 5.3 miles. My distance isn’t as great as it used to be, and certainly my speed has slowed tremendously — this walk took me a whopping 1 hour and 38 minutes. I remember when I used to walk a 16 minute mile! (And I remember when using the Fitbit that I was told I walked a 15 minute mile, but I now realize Fitbit exaggerated a bit.)

Anyway, have a First Shot. I used my Canon EOS R with the 100mm lens for this image.
