It is good to try.
The light was scraping across the terra-cotta tiles on the floor in a way that made me want to capture it, to hold it in my hand. I had just lowered myself down to the ground during my yoga practice and that thought tripped through quickly along with Remi’s previous offer that I use the macro lens that works with his camera that I am borrowing. He knows that I like to look closely.
At the time, I was too intimidated. “Let me just start with the basics!” I was squealing a bit, nervous. It is his equipment after all. But today somehow it felt ok. Either that or the need to be creative won out over whatever fear had been holding the reins.
It is good to try.
By doing so, I remembered that life can be wonderfully small or small as a prison depending on how I choose to take it. Remi and I have both been missing our voyaging days, as can especially happen at this time of year. But I did today in the looking. While I have much to learn, so much that I could return to intimidation, I felt joy in discovering and that is what traveling is all about. For once, I wasn’t lost at all but found, held tight in my contentment.
Thank you Jackie!
Hi Heather,
I am learning how to use my reflex attending some lessons here where I live… I 'm trying and trying but it is not very easy! Yesterday I had a lesson about light and I made just a little practice about using lights and flash inside a studio. It was amusing and interesting!
Your post is so useful for me!
I would appreciaciate a little bit of Remi's art through your Wonderful words!

That is lovely Keith, thank you…
Yes, I know that we both need encouragement to take that next step at times (or a push!) so I am not surprised that you understand. 🙂 Sometimes being creative is scarier than it need be. Thank you for the lovely compliments!
I am learning too Edgar and have a really, really long way to go!! I am lucky to have such a good teacher. 🙂
Thanks Loree! I am still on the fence and wonder if some days I just get lucky…?
Now THAT is a compliment that I don't deserve but I will thank you heartily nonetheless!
I have learned the hard way not to give them too much water and to basically leave them alone as I usually tend to fuss over my flowers but I agree…they fade way too quickly!
