Kim asked us to write 10 truths about ourselves, mine seemed rather small and I knew that it would be good to put a photo in with the post, so........
I put my 10 truths on the petals of a white camellia flower I recently took a photo of.
The outcome is not as brilliant as I would have liked but it gives you the idea.

What light from Yonder window.....

Am getting further and further behind in my assignments for Kim's Beyond Layers Class.
One, that I have yet to get done was to find a space and make it into a mini light studio.
You need a table and a backboard or two and your camera. Plus the light you have taken days to find.

I have found the best light in the house, it is in the bathroom, and it really can be quite perfect with the light diffused through the bathroom glass.
Here is the tricky (impossible) bit.
I worked out where I could sit on the edge of the bath to get the correct light, good thus far.
However, next comes the table to place our items to be photographed on, do you think I can get even a mini table in the bath and sit near it to take a photo? Not likely.
Add to this the 3rd item which is back boards in white or cream to bounce the light off, ( I hope you are getting a mental picture of all this).
Juggling boards, table camera and item,
No, it just will not work.

"What light from yonder window falls?"

Good Deeds

No good deed goes unnoticed!

The universe sings with these moments.

I am in the middle of my list of things that make me happy.
Then I decided to write a note to Kim who is running this course which I am way behind on but oh well.

I would just like you to know that although I am WAY behind in the projects that you have given us, 
somewhere you mentioned...
HAVE FUN with this
and I am.
I refuse to beat myself up about being behind with the lessons,
I am still learning lots
and
chances are you will run this again and I can sign up again, 
(even if I was up to date it is doubtful that I would remember everything anyway).
Maybe you could give us work on the word 'freedom' I am so enjoying the freedom that I have granted myself NOT to get upset about being behind, it is quite divine.
Back to my list 
Happiness is life 
and living it the way I choose.
(Just so that I do not sound too awful, I am kind to others, do drive more or less at the speed limit and pay taxes.)

The Wise Owl

Went for a walk at sunset, and there calmly sitting up in a tree was this owl.
Sadly the light was not good and he was high up,
however, I still think he looks splendid.

A little bit of daily wisdom.
Bloom where you are planted. 

As ever it is up to us to bloom where we are, and not wait for someone or something else to determine how we show ourselves.


And I do love hollyhocks.

A Little Dreaming.

Just a little dreaming.
