Through The Ring

Through The Ring

Act as if what you do makes a difference.  It does.  ~ William James

This photo was taken a few years ago, and always puts a smile on my face.  Such innocence, such fun.  So sweet.  Don't you just wish you could return to the days when looking through the largest onion ring you've ever seen would bring on a brilliant case of the giggles?

Please Don't Hate Me, But . . .

Spray Part 2

. . . I'm sharing one more water photo.  I just couldn't resist.  Even though I told you all last night that I was ending the water series.  Really, I wasn't lying, I just could not get this idea out of my head all day long.  I kept thinking about the image that I shared last night - Spray.  I kept imagining doing a little bit of extra work on it - mostly in the area of cropping.  And so, tonight I present to you, Spray Part 2.  Hope you don't mind.  And now my mind can go back to all it's usual silly little thoughts and put to rest presenting this image a little differently.

The sincere friends of this world are as ship lights in the stormiest of nights. ~ Giotto di Bondone

A good friend gently pointed out to me that I did not include a quote last night.  So, tonight I will give you two (thanks Lynn for always giving me such encouragement!).

Most people see what they want to, or at least what they expect to.  ~ Martha Grimes

Tonight, I leave you with these two thoughts.  May we all be sincere friends.  And may we learn to see the world in new and wonderful ways.

Thanks to each of you for all of your support and interest in visiting my sight here.  I have really had an enjoyable time sharing my images and my thoughts with you.  But, even more, love to hear your thoughts on those things that I have shared.

The End - of sorts

Spray

The end - at least of the water pics for now.  This is the last one I am sharing from my initial shooting.  Definitely a fun project, with more in the future.  Now that I have a better idea of what works and what doesn't.  But, always bringing an open spirit to see where the moment takes me. 

I hope you have enjoyed the water pics as much as I have enjoyed sharing them.

Another good Moment

Ring

Man, oh man.  I'm not sure how it happened but somewhere along the line I got on someones spam list.  I hadn't checked my filter for about a week and there were like 30 messages - all spam.  What on earth?  And the thing I do not get about spam - the messages were being left on posts from almost a year ago.  Really, who goes back and reads comments on posts from over a year ago?  Strange.  I don't get that at all.  But, I guess that's just the way my brain works.

Okay, so this pic was one that I was very excited to see when I downloaded to my computer.  How fun is that little ring of water splashing?  Such a moment.

Some More Water

Going Up

I hope everyone had an enjoyable long weekend.  Personally, I did not get the day off.  And even so, it was a nice and productive day.  Lots of cleaning accomplished - vacuuming, sorting out clothing for donation, handing down and just plain get rid ofs, and even sorted out my office mess.  I'm so not good at keeping that area clean.

Thought I would continue on with the water droplet pictures.  Just a few more left to share.  Hopefully the best are yet to come.  We will see what you think of them.  It's been fun and something that I definitely need to shoot again!

And, I also thought I would share this quote that I came across earlier today.  It put a smile on my face when I read it & hopefully will you too!

Day Three of the Water Project

One Drop Part 2

Getting a little closer to it's final destination.  Almost there.  And then what impact will it have?  Well, we know pretty much don't we?  It's going to create quite a few ripples.

I really enjoy looking at that tiny drop of water, forever suspended, never to reach it's final destination - at least not in picture form.  But, I was there, I saw it make many wonderful ripples.

When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.  ~ Thomas Jefferson

Do you know what this is yet?

One Drop Part I

A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.  ~ Bruce Lee

Day 2 of the new project.  I'm hoping you have an idea now of what the subject matter is.  And if not, then I am not doing my job very well.  And no, it is not chocolate.  Don't worry if you did not see it that way - I see lots of things like they should be chocolate. 

So, what do you think about this one?  It's been a little quiet out there and I'm getting a little nervous that I have bored you all to tears.  Oh I hope not.  That would be very sad.
