The inspiration for this post's title comes from Jen's Realia who says "Pay attention - there's a story wherever you go."
Yesterday I used up most of my words
So today I keep it simple.
Someone told me to leave the house. Thanks, Someone, who is kind of turning into a mentor. I know this isn't exactly what you meant, but it's a start. Something different. Like this to go with it.
I finally picked up my camera and stepped outside. (You can click on any of the images to see them better.)
And I didn't even have to leave the yard!
Have a great weekend, lovers. What's up your sleeve?
Beautiful photos. Have a great weekend, yourself. I'm so thoroughly enthralled with mine I could shiver. In fact, I don't want to go back to work on Sunday night because I enjoy being home so much.
ReplyDeleteDamn money. Of course, then, like you, I wouldn't get too far outside my own yard, really.
May I now call you Imogen?
ReplyDeleteA blue elephant? How bipartisan.
ReplyDeletePretty pictures.
I like the pics.
ReplyDeletebeautiful!
ReplyDeleteRemember Van Cliburn? He was quite the phenom when I was in High School.

Ah, so you are a writer AND a photographer. Now that's hardly fair I think~~taking up all the talent like that ;~)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful way to clear the mind. Lovely music and pics!
ReplyDeleteThey turned out beautifully. They say alot without words.
ReplyDeleteWow... you could probably guess such a post would be right up my alley, Lisa. Nice shots. I enjoyed the series very much, and I'm glad the outing gave you a change of perspective.
ReplyDelete(I almost just wrote that last in French. I know you are a fellow francophile. Would that annoy you? If not, Je suis contente que tu as pu te changer les idees.)
Your first one--the drips--is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on "Inflexible"
It made my day!
That was neat. Thanks. Definitely thanks for the Rachmaninoff. Sometimes I need that.
ReplyDeleteI'm taking my camera out now, although I will probably not be shooting anything in nature
I love when I just can relax into the moment and really see around me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing us such beautiful photos of what you saw in the moment.
Most excellent photos! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch beautful summer pictures. Loved them all.You are so right, you can find inspiration in everything and everyone.
ReplyDeleteGeoffrey - Thank you. I hope you enjoyed your time off!
ReplyDeleteWill - I'm hardly worthy of that, but sure!
Randal - The elephant is a ruse. It's really a donkey in disguise.
Que - Thank you, kind sir.
elissa - Thanks!
drydiggins - I do remember Van Cliburn. I was torn between using his version and the one I posted.
Liberality - Aw, you're making me blush.
kkryno - Thank you. I needed to cleanse the brain a little.
idgtm - I appreciate that very much.
Meredith - Tu peux m'écrire en français en tout temps. J'ai besoin de la pratique. Et merci. J'ai pensé à toi quand j'ai pris ces photos.
Ann - Thank you so much! That one is my favorite. And your post still has me chuckling as I stand next to my laundry hamper.
D. - You are welcome. So what kind of photos did you get?
Pseudo - Me, too. This was a little half hour of mental vacation.
Miss Healthy Pants - Thanks! I know you know photos.
Saorise - Thank you. And we just have to be open to it, don't we?
Those are fabulous pictures, Lisa! I wished (again) I'd remembered my camera on my morning power walk, but my eye is lousy--I just occasionally see cool stuff. Looks like you've got the eye, too.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are really wonderful pictures.
ReplyDeleteIs that succulent a sedum? It is my favorite. The color!
ReplyDeleteLisa, you are clearly multi-talented. Thise pics are great! But did you know you have a Republican in the next to last one? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI particularly love the dew one. Intriguing and lovely. Like you!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots - it IS amazing what's under our noses. It still takes an eye, though, to know how to compose it, to frame it...
ReplyDeleteAnd where did you get that blue elephant!!!!???? I want one!
So pretty! I love all these photos. Yes, sometimes one act gets us unstuck.
ReplyDeleteThe elephant is great.
Gorgeous photos. You have some real talent. :)
ReplyDeleteAw, I'm honoured my tagline inspired a post! And a wonderful post indeed - I love every bit of it. I have a feeling you approached the weekend in the same fashion I did.
ReplyDeleteLisa, you are so talented and I love the Rachmaninoff!
ReplyDeleteAlso, thank you for the link to your mentor. Very nice writing.
You have a great eye. Really fabulous framing. I think you need to take more photos more often. Just saying.
ReplyDeletewow. these images are amazing!
