re-emerging
OK, it's been a while. But I have a good reason. I lost the sight on my left eye. Detached retina. Then, just as it was about to heal, the expected side effect of the surgery I had to fix it, a blinding cataract, put me right back at square one. Finally, the retina was normal enough for the cataract to be removed and I am able to take pictures again.
So, here we go. Saturday morning at our local farmer's market. And a stop at the garden center. A little bit of country in the middle of the city.
Thank you Patty. You have inspired me and put a smile on my face. I have you bookmarked and now find pleasure taking my time reading your blogs. You are awesome. Thank you for connecting even if I don't know you either - your words & photos do mean a lot and very powerful positive vibes. I send these back to you.
OK, so the idea of morning photos was easy to do while on vacation, not so easy at home. But I am determined. Of course, we leave Sunday for vacation, so I get an edge. This morning, taking an early walk to visit a yard sale, I remembered why I wanted to do this.
The photos
Morning photos are an idea that formed on my main blog, "view from the attic". It was an exercise, at first, to kick start the day creatively and practice photography. But in time, I realized that the discipline was teaching me more than how to set my camera, it was making me look at my world through the morning lens. To see the common little moments of the day as tiny works of art. Morning light is thin, soft, gentle, tentative. It lends itself to the quiet search for the moment that you will capture and hold for the rest of the day. And the accumulation of those moments, those days, in time, might be a light of its own.
