Do I detect Spring on the porch...

Picture Day 9 I found this moth, Luna, I think, on the dew wet grass Easter Sunday morning. Sunrise service. I felt so bad that the wings were so wet the moth could not fly. I looked this beautiful creature up in a book. This moth's entire lifespan is only 24 hours from chrysalis to death...

M Train is so moving. Patti Smith is just a little older than I am. She devoted her life to her art. Music, poetry and photography. She sang with Bob Dylan. I am adding her to my list of people I would like to have lunch with...

Another question...

Question# 14. What do I love to practice? If you really want to excel at something, go where you are passionate enough to practice. I love photography. I am practicing Macro now but I also love capturing unguarded moments of my grands. Spring flowers, buds, raindrops, nature. Studying, reading and taking pics...my passion. I wish I would practice yoga and piano.

I was prompted to write...

The prompt was age. I am 58 years old, I'll be 59 next month. I feel 35 tops 40 years old. It is only when I see a new photo of myself or catch a glimpse of myself in a window or mirror that I realize I have aged. I feel so good physically but it is more than that...I feel good emotionally. My children are grown and have made good lives for themselves. I have the time to put myself first, to do the things I love to do, photography, reading, sewing and sitting on my porch. My grandchildren have given me the chance to experience birth, babies nd children all over again. I loved raising my girls but I was so busy making a life and worrying about properly developing character in my girls that I felt like my life went by in a blink. This time I savor every moment spent with my sweet babies. It feels so good to just enjoy each moment. Aging hs been good for me.

Creative juices...

I am an amateur photog...I love it. I used to draw with pencil and chalk it was so time consuming. I like my almost instant results with my Canon dslr. I have lots of learning to do, practice, but every once in a while I take a picture I am proud of. That's a good day for me. Today I packed Easter baskets for the grands and a bathtub for the new baby with handmade blankets and a dress my daughter wore when she was a new baby in 1976.
