And, if I could find my camera, I would be doing what I'm ready to do - or, is it that what I'm ready to do is hunt for that danged camera.<BR/><BR/>Oh, yes, do go back and sign up for a 'show' in that back room! Wish I could be there. Nice to see them on my computer screen, but nicer still to wander around with a non-fat soy latte and look at them with other people. I could report comments to you - be the fly on the wall (not on the photo).

Sounds like a great idea. Maybe I can tweak something like that to fit my style.<BR/><BR/>Lisa~ How about meeting me there on Saturday sometime--with your camera?<BR/><BR/>Janice~ I have the words but I'm letting them swirl without stopping to capture them, so then they're gone.<BR/><BR/>Ellen~ Do come back! Nice to meet you.<BR/><BR/>Barbara~ I made the first inquiry. I wonder if I will finalize the deal.<BR/><BR/>Sarah~ I like the luck quote. It reminds me of what one of my students said: "I have way better luck on tests when I study!"<BR/><BR/>Rain~ I hear you, but your getting a good jump start on photography. When my kids were little, they were in every shot. Since then I've probably taken more pix of ornamental grass than I ever had of them. :>)Ruth L.~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01008932486010118709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7563921876019154209.post-62277408345613559482007-10-13T22:39:00.000-04:002007-10-13T22:39:00.000-04:00How exciting.

I am constantly grieving these days for all the pictures I want to take whe it's not appropriate - for example when my kids want me to actually pay attention to them, not take pictures of them - or their events, or their friends, or .....rainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147663549502347536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7563921876019154209.post-80519936048213111612007-10-13T11:39:00.000-04:002007-10-13T11:39:00.000-04:00I love the George Will quote that opens this: "Th...I love the George Will quote that opens this: "The future has a way of arriving unannounced." That is so true, but it is also true that "luck favors the prepared mind." I can't remember who said that, and I'm too lazy to look it up (at the moment) but it sounds as though all that energy is coiled up inside you and looking for a direction to spring. The coffee shop sounds like a good direction. I loved this entry, Ruth. Very honest and true.sarah corbett morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327514344421041651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7563921876019154209.post-60662743102792879582007-10-12T21:55:00.000-04:002007-10-12T21:55:00.000-04:00Brava to you!

You're just gearing up for a shift to a new level of life, one that opens up all sorts of possibilities. I get that antsy feeling all the time these days. It's much better than not feeling anything at all, yes?Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356998698106275372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7563921876019154209.post-5553655533572565802007-10-12T14:59:00.000-04:002007-10-12T14:59:00.000-04:00Thank you for visiting my blog.It's always good to...Thank you for visiting my blog.It's always good to meet someone new.

You'll do great. I so enjoy your photos. <BR/><BR/>A quilt artist is doing somewhat the same thing you are doing -- venturing into a little different arena. Virginia Spiegel has taken her art, her blogs, her inspiration and put them together into a new book with all of the proceeds to benefit the American Cancer Society. Here's what she sent to me about it: <BR/>My book, "Art, Nature, Creativity, Life, " is now available with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the American Cancer Society.<BR/><BR/>"Art, Nature, Creativity, Life" is stuffed with essays; art, art, and more art; recommended books for artists, nature lovers, gardeners and other creative types; over 80 inspirational photos; more than 35 haikus, and much, much more. The nineteen chapters are greatly expanded versions of the best issues of my e-newsletter of the same name.<BR/><BR/>For ordering information, reviews, and more information about this web-based book, please visit:<BR/><BR/>http://www.virginiaspiegel.com/NewFiles/ACSFundraiser.html<BR/><BR/>Maybe this is a form of outlet you might like to consider for some of your own work. <BR/><BR/>DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18419344655830579965noreply@blogger.com
