So cool and wet, there was a part of me that wanted to drink up the fresh rain water. It smelled so sweet and fresh outside. These are my poppies I just bought at the hardware store. Lovely little things.
Did I tell you all that I sold some prints? A woman e-mailed me after seeing my photos on Flickr. She chose 4 black and whites. I got them printed and she just got them yesterday. She was very happy with them. She described the photos exactly how I would, she wrote me an e-mail yesterday telling me she had received them. She made the whole transaction so easy and pleasant. I am SO grateful for her, she helped me open a door I was afraid to open.
Tonight I am meeting with bunches of local photographers and I am going to learn about lighting and portrait work from them. They just don't know it yet, that they are going to be my teachers tonight. Haha! I may model as well, but I really want to watch and learn.
I had this crazy idea, to incorporate my preschool education and photography. I think It might just work.
If anyone would like to buy a print please check out my Flickr page and send me a message.
(thank you WrightBrained for the gentle pushes I need to get going)
We had a wind storm roll through the area yesterday, a few trees went down in my area and school let out early which my nephew was thrilled about. A tree fell on his street so I got some free wood for next year to keep me warm. So before the wind came in I went to the backyard and snapped some pictures. I was in my slippers and snowman pajamas. Tip toeing around huge mushrooms. I took several pictures of my monkey tree.
Then this morning it poured so hard I thought the roof would give in, then as fast as it started it stopped. The sun came out, I decided to shed the ducky pajamas and take a quick walk before it gets nasty again. It was so fresh out there, all of the trees that were so full of beautiful red and orange leaves were almost all bare. Some completely bare. All leaves stripped of leaves within a 24 hour period. The sidewalks full of leaves, drains clogged. I kicked them around a bit, then it started to cloud over again. I came home, heated up some water and had a cup of blackberry sage tea with a bit of honey harvested near my home. So, here are some photos I took.
My walk today.
I stepped out my front door, no rain yet....yet. I sat at the end of my walk waiting for my inner self to tell me "Go That Way!" so I went to the right. Good choice. Drips of rain fall from the sky onto my teeny facial hairs, time for my umbrella. Red and white umbrella above my head and striped rubber boots on my feet, I am ready. The wind was cool on my cheeks and it felt good in my aching lungs. I could smell the rain through the smell of smoke wafting from the chimneys of my neighbors. This is what Autumn smells like, rain, decaying leaves, and burning wood. It is a wonderful smell. Down alleys and sidewalks I go. Then I came across the most beautiful mud puddles I have ever seen. They had collected the leaves of all the trees on th block, it looked like confetti, like I was a day late for a fairy party. So, with rubber boots on my feet, I decided to splish splash in the
It was raining last night. Lightning, thunder, the whole works. It stopped this morning so I decided to go for a walk. I absolutely LOVE the way the air smells after a good rain, so fresh and sweet. I took my camera with me. I like damp things and the reflections of the sky in the fresh puddles. Drops on leaves and highlighting spiders webs with lovely silver orbs.
