I’ve been spending a bit of time with my Olympus camera, getting to know it again…

it had been sitting on the shelf for a long time because I had misplaced the charger…

my son-in-law was able to find one online for me and I recently received it…

I dug out the manual, read through it and have started to take more pictures… I never thought it worked as well as my Nikon, but maybe I didn’t give it a chance, lol…

we shall see…

one of the things that makes me the happiest is spending time taking photos of bouquets…

yesterday I spent a good portion of the day taking shots from all angles with my Nikon…

as the flowers open and close I will have more opportunities to get some beautiful photos…

flowers make me happy;-)…

a friend picked up a few items for me at Costco this morning and brought me some tulips…

they are beautiful and I divided them into four containers…

one is on the stairs ready to go to my bedroom… another is in the bathroom… a third in the den…

the final one is in the living room… they brighten up the whole space…

I am blessed;-)…

had a relaxing and productive day…

after finding another skein of wool, I finished (again) my little throw, lol… it is a good size now and will keep me warm on cold days in the den…

followed by pancakes and chicken livers ordered in for my lunch (and supper)…

then I had a lovely time taking photos of some of the roses…

ended the afternoon reading in the warm sunlight in the living room…

I’ve been spending a lot of time watching all the critters in the front yard and garden…

it is amazing to watch them fly through, under, and around… they sometimes hover near the feeders if there is a lineup…

other times they swoop between the bench and deck on their way to the saucer under the table…

today I tried to catch a photo of them flying, but that didn’t work, lol…

still, it is a treat to be able to watch and enjoy their antics…

as I was walking around the main floor getting steps in, I was contemplating the saying on the picture over the pass through…

it says live every moment, love beyond words, laugh every day…

such a great reminder of how I want to be…

I am always so pleased when I make sure I see what is happening in the moment…

today, I watched the downy woodpecker without trying to get a photo of it… as it moved from spot to spot on the suet feeder looking to get the best access to the snacks, I was able to enjoy the red patch on the back of its head… this photo is from yesterday…

he’s very cute and comes by regularly…

yesterday the quote I reviewed was about facing the light and thus putting the shadow behind…

made me think of the juxtaposition of light and shadow which had me wandering around my plants and taking photos being sure that my shadow didn’t affect the pictures…
