Day 6 of a month of me is all about my passions, those things that define me, encourage me and make me bloom! Photography is one of those passions. I've always had a camera, but it wasn't until the digital age that it became apart of me. It's now become my revolver, I'm quick to take a photo whenever I spot a subject that intrigues me and I want to learn more. I love taking nature photos the best, they cooperate better than my grandchildren who I love to snap too. But flowers were meant to be photographed and shared. For years I've tried to capture rain drops on petals and I finally did, I'm blooming too!Scrapbooking is another passion mainly because it includes photos and gives me another reason to take them and it's taught me alot about both hobbies. It keeps me creative and through the pages I design, I'm sharing memories that can be handed down or in my case, displayed on the wall of fame. I don't think these works of art should be hidden away in a album, I've devoted a whole wall in my craft room to them that I change out a few times a year. Scrappin is an addiction, but well worth the money and time invested.
Gardening has been a passion of mine for decades, passed down from my Dad, and I'm so grateful. It's another outlet for being creative, this time with live objects but once mastered you create a beauty only God can take credit for. If I couldn't garden, I would shrivel up and die! The world is a much better place for the beauty of gardens!
I could go on but these are the top three right now, the most important to me, the three I want to learn more about and be better at, always! You are never too old to learn!
I so agree with you, and you've taught me so much since I first started reading your posts. What a lovely pic of the raindrops too. Thanks for always sharing with us. Did I mention I love the new background you're using on your blog? xxoo
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to read your posts. Ironically your passions are the exact same as mine.(so far anyways) This year I have started a scrapbook just devoted to my gardenns, flowers, trees, etc. I have also included pressed flowers, leaves, etc.from my garden and occassional article or poem on gardening. It is fun to see what else you have for a passion.. Keep me posted! Dawn
ReplyDeletePS.. I am signed up to take a camera class at our local college. It is 5 weeks long and they show you how to best use your camera that you already own. How cool is that? It starts next week.....dawn
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed hearing of your passions - they are similar to mine - and I never thought of this one - I think I'm going make a scrapbook of my flowers and the photos I take - as Dawn said she is doing. I don't know why I have limited it to only people - ohhhhh this is going to be fun.
ReplyDeleteI would like to hear more about your other passions - these are so interesting. I'm enjoying the month of you.
You take great photos and as evidence from the photo you are a great gardener! :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best,

The flower is beautiful. We share passions, as well. Though, I'm not a good photographer, I sure like to take lots of pictures. And like you, with digital, my fingers always clicking away!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo!
