Sometimes I am simply done in by the beauty. And knowing that all the camera technology I have (and don’t have) cannot (and could not) do justice to the scene before me. So I love this photo. This technically inferior, grainy, blue-cast photo. It tries.
It is always gratifying and exciting to be accepted into a national juried art show. But then there are those shows one truly pines for. You submit your images, pay the fee, and wait with bated breath. And when that email comes with “invited” at the top… “Yippee!” whether anyone else is around to hear it or not.

Dear followers of my blog: As I write, my twin grandbabies–a boy and a girl–are being born by c-section at a hospital in Baton Rouge. This is a little early, but they are good weights and should be fine. I’m more concerned about my daughter-in-law, who’s experiencing blood pressure issues. If you are the praying kind, please do. If not, your kind thoughts and encouraging vibes are also welcome. I cannot wait to gather my little flock around me! Thank you. bjk
