OPEN HOUSE at DANCE STUDIO NO. 1 in LOS ANGELES I love to photograph dancers! There is a magic inside of them that speaks to my heart. Call it grace, call it balance, call it focus, call it what you may . . . to me it is a special characteristic that I can’t quite […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 22nd I am always on the lookout for flowers . . . flowers for the note cards that I send to my mother, especially new ones, ones that I haven’t photographed before. Today I found these few stray flowers in a garden along my daily walking path – they have been there during all my walks, […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 21st SAYING GOOD-BYE Sometimes we have to say good-bye to friends. Not that we want to, not that we want them to move away, but to hold them back from moving on in their own life would be a travesty, a selfish thing to do on our part. So we get together and celebrate the good […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 20th August 19th, 2009 | Category: Everyday Life, Photo of the Day MY NEIGHBORS GARDEN Opportunities ~ they exist everywhere, one must be but willing to acknowledge them . . . . . . Today is no exception for me. Mail is delivered to my house at various times throughout the day, it depends on the carrier assigned by the postal service – true for any postal […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 19th PURPLE SPINY CACTUS One last post from the town of Ojai. Walking down one of the side streets, I came across this patch of purple cactus. It was late in the afternoon and the lighting was just right – it actually caught my attention from across the street. Some things just beg to be photographed, […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 18th August 17th, 2009 | Category: Everyday Life, Photo of the Day LOTS of TREASURES FROM OJAI I have so many wonderful images to share with you from my trip to Ojai! I could post one a day for the next two months and we still would not have gotten through them all! So I decided to load some of them into their own gallery versus inserting […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 17th OJAI’s FLORA Yesterday it was about architecture and the Ojai Valley Museum, today it is about the landscaping. There were so many different varieties of plants and flowers, grasses and trees along my travels that I decided to put them all together in one post. And, of course, I have no idea what the names […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 16th August 15th, 2009 | Category: Everyday Life, Photo of the Day EXPLORING OJAI Can you believe that in the 5 years I have lived in Santa Barbara, I have never been to Ojai? Anyone who lives in the area knows this is but a short 40 minute drive from Santa Barbara! Sometimes it’s not about how far away something is, nor is it about driving the […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 15th August 14th, 2009 | Category: Everyday Life, Photo of the Day Yesterday’s post was a bit on the somber side and I am not sure I have totally recovered, but that’s okay . . . We pick ourselves up and move on – wherever that onward may take us. Today it has lead to a gate. What is beyond the gate is the intrigue . . […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 14th August 13th, 2009 | Category: Everyday Life, Photo of the Day ASHES to ASHES Today is a tough day for me – it would have been Mark’s 51st birthday . . . I considered not posting any image at all, but then had to force myself to redirect my energy and understand that this photo-of-the-day project is not related to my emotions during the day. It […] Continue reading PHOTO OF THE DAY – August 13th |
