“Photography is the story I fail to put into words.” ~ Destin Sparks
Perhaps this is why many writers are also photographers. Two mediums, the goal the same: to tell a story.
Happy Tuesday! Pickles are done and an appointment I thought I had today is actually next week. Unexpected free time. Woo hoo!

You are one amazing artist!!!
I don’t know about that, Carolyn, but I am enjoying the quiet practice of still life photography. Now you are an amazing artist! You do beautiful work.
it’s a fabulous way to express what’s in your heart. I started a journal yesterday thanks to you, Linda. Your inspiration, and the encouragement from a fabulous friend had me pick up a pen. I always thought of it as a New Years Resolution but it never happened. Here’s to putting pen to paper – if not now when?
Wonderful, Celine! I agree, “if not now when”!
Photography is something I don’t feel competent in, but now that I am blogging, would like to learn the art of it. You can say so much so well with a good photograph; it really beautifies and adds interest to a blog.
I didn’t feel capable to take a decent photo for years either, Lucinda. I’m finding that, for me, slowing down and being thoughtful about what I’m trying to capture makes all the difference. I hope you give it a try. It’s a wonderful practice!
Thank you. That’s good advice and I will try that.
Thank you for the link to the gardening blog, Linda. Lots of good info there.
There sure is! Glad you find it helpful, Karen. I refer to various articles there often throughout the gardening season.
I saw your pickle picture. Awesome! All your photos are so lovely…they could be writing prompts, especially the one above.
Thanks, Karen! I love how photography is another way of telling a story. I’m often thinking of little stories in my mind as I’m composing photographs. ?
I love this photo, your pictures often fill me with nostalgic memories of my childhood…thanks for letting your gift in photography remind me of my story! ?
Aw, thank you, Karen! I love,that my photos take you back to precious times in your life.
