Day 103 - Child's play

"It is a happy talent to know how to play." Ralph Waldo Emerson





Spent most of the day together - she didn't want anything to do with my camera today, but she did want to play and play we did.

I will be going in for outpatient surgery tomorrow. I will be laid up for several days. I will keep the camera close by - it already has the macro lens on. Not sure if I'll be able to post tomorrow but I will be taking the picture a day.

Looked at an old photography book - Gold Book Photography. Lots of inspiration there.

D 101 - Take time to play

This three year old reminds me everyday to "Slow Down" take time to sit and listen.
Stop rushing. Time passes quickly enough without us taking the time to notice details.
I had a great play date with her.

“Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going to fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.”
Eddie Cantor





She thought it was very funny that her bubbles were attacking my lens. Yes, very funny indeed! That laugh is priceless

D-96 Disappointment & Hope

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” MLK

I have had to really slow down on my marathon training because of pain in my knee. I finally went to the doctor because it was not getting better and we found out today it was due to a "Meniscus Tear" it's nothing major but I need to tend to it immediately other wise it will continue to get worse. So I'm having out patient surgery next Wednesday. That puts my marathon training on the back burner for a while. Thank God it was nothing worse.

Today's image is from the yard again. The weather has been amazing.
This one I call "The Gathering" it reminds me of us and our friends - LOL
"Friendship is one mind in two bodies"


This one I call "Fight Like a Girl"


These were shot with my Macro lens.
