If a picture paints a thousand words

This blog is a place for me to work on my photography. My goal is to submit a new picture every day and to get better as the moments go by. I take all pictures with my digital camera. I worked for years with a 35 mm minolta, and this is a learning experience for me. I am afraid that I got lazy and allowed the camera to choose most of the settings for me. This is my journey of learning how to shoot a camera that is not in a program mode. It is harder than I ever imagined. That makes this challenge both a new experience and a joy for me.

Oh, That Face

There is just something about watching children that appeals to me.  There faces are so honest.  They have a sense of wonder and enthusiasm that is simply captivating.  This is one of my grandchildren and she is quite the little character.  Her expressions say it all!



People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle.
Thich Nhat Hanh






While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.

    What a precious face! And I love the thought about miracles, because it's something I need to be reminded of every once in awhile! We are all miracles!
