Solid

Finally at that stage where the Red Cedar is frozen solid and the crazy college kids have cleared patches to play hockey on it. A day that was prettier to be in--with the snow falling lightly--than it was to photograph.

But I went outside today. I started some good sabbatical habits--working steadily through the day until it was time to pick up Nu. Got a proposal sent off; whittled the chapter that was at 20K down to 11K. It needs to be at 8K--so I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

I know those days - nicer to be in than to photograph.
I love taking pictures, so it always makes me feel a bit meloncholy when I can't get a physical representation of how I feel or how nature is leaving me breathless.
I do know often tell myself (sometimes even out loud to the kid): "I'm taking a mental picture of this" and will even sometimes mimic my hands in a camera pose. Weird...but true!

Elisabeth--I feel the same way when I can't save a beautiful moment on my camera. I've never yet been happy with my sunflower pictures. (I do the mental picture thing too, down to the "click"!)

 It has been a year. Some days it feels like yesterday, some days it feels like a distant dream of love.     There have been tears every day...
