Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!

Picture the Holidays - December 27 thru 31

And so we are at the end of another photography class.
I have struggled with the last few prompts.
Post-Christmas funk and all.

I seem to be pulling out of it now.

Anyhow, here are the last few days of Picture the Holidays.
Like the other classes, it has been a delight.
It forced me to enjoy the small things, focus on them and that has been a gift.

December 27
The prompt: Breath of Fresh Air




These treasures were blooming right outside our window. 

The beautifully named Heavenly Bamboo, it offers flowers, berries, 
red-tipped leaves, etc. through the year.

December 28
The prompt: Through the Looking Glass

I took several pictures, but none of them worked for me with this prompt.
I ended up skipping it completely. The post-Christmas funk had me
and I was just not feeling it that day.

December 29
The prompt: A Toast



December 30
The prompt: There's No Looking Back


I will be trying to charge into the future with them, hoping to catch some of their boundless enthusiasm and curiosity!


While I was taking pictures of Famous Baby C at the park, the camera focused on the word
stamped on the playground equipment. 
I did not see it until I was looking at the photos on my computer.
It felt like the universe was whispering something to me.


December 31
The prompt: Gather Your Thoughts



A New Day

And this made me laugh
