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.

Macro Friday - On Ice - Day 188

It is amazing what my girls can find after an ice storm.  We thought this would make an interesting Micro Friday shot for my link up with Blogging From Bolivia


This is the macro of the branch.



This is the back side of it.


This is the front side and you can get a better idea of the true size.  

And the quote to go with all of these:

If you are walking on thin ice, you might as well dance!

Winter Gardens - Day 185



"March is a month of considerable frustration - it is so near spring and yet across a great deal of the country the weather is still so violent and changeable that outdoor activity in our yards seems light years away."

Buried in Snow - Day 184


"People say they 'find' love, as if it were an object hidden by a rock. But love takes many forms, and it is never the same for any man and woman. What people find then, is a certain love. And [he] found a certain love with [her], a grateful love, a deep but quiet love, one that he knew, above all else, was irreplaceable."
-Mitch Albom (The Five People You Meet in Heaven)
