About Me

My photo
I am usually typing on a computer most of the day, but today I am trying my hand at a new project: My 2011 365-Day Photo Journey. I gained a love for photography when I was required to take a fine arts class for college--I chose photography. The course required a lot of work--Professor Loehr saw to that--but it opened my eyes to a new world. It's been many years since I took that class and I don't know how much I actually remember, but following Laura Delagal's 365 Photo Journey and watching my niece's love for taking pictures has peeked my interested in photography again. Although I don't have a professional camera, I did receive a really nice Sony digital (point-and-shoot) camera from my sweetie for Christmas this year. Going through some difficult times in my life, I thought that undertaking my own 365-day photo journey might be a way to relieve a little stress and have some fun with my new toy. Through this journey I will capture some of life's joy and its pain, but I will also be able to refocus the lens of my life on the many wonderful things that God has created. Well, here goes. Wish me luck!

Day 186 - July 5, 2011

Althea flower bud
All of the flowers on the Althea tree had vanished.  I thought this tree was through flowering for the year, but actually, it was just so thirsty and draught-stricken that the poor thing couldn't flower.  We've had several wonderful rainy days, and look what I found today--several beautiful buds and a half dozen blooms.  It was a beautiful sight to see.

    That bud shows the promise of beauty to come.

    New buds about ready to open are always such a treat!

    I think they are indeed blooming all summer long. Some of mine are bent really low and I'm not sure why. I hope they are not dying.
