NaBloPoMo – Let’s Get Started

10 Replies

Apparently I have decided to earn the title of Super Blogger.

For those of you that follow my blog you know I am currently on day 300/365 of posting photos. I started posting daily photos on January 1, 2015. I have enjoyed learning more about photography over this past year and I’ve enjoyed pushing myself to accomplish my goal.

However, my intention of starting a blog was to write. My hope is that National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) will be the catalyst I need to get me rolling (or should I say writing)

So here is the plan, I will continue the daily photo post AND add a daily post of the written word. I will share whatever is going on in my head, what’s happened during my day, possibly a thought provoking rant and whatever else happens to make it from my brain to the keyboard.

Now….IF my sanity holds up I will do this for the next 29 days (I missed day one of the NaBloPoMo). I will certainly appreciate words of encouragement, suggestions of topics and if necessary an intervention for my sanity!

Let’s get started…

365 Days of Photos – Day 295

Last March I posted several pictures of my Texas Red Bud Tree. The tree was full of beautiful pink blooms.

The rest of the summer the tree stood proudly and showed off its lovely green leaves.

I find it interesting that I did not find the tree intriguing enough to take pictures when it was full of leaves.

Trees are such a representation of life….when things are drastically different (beginning of life – end of life) we pay attention. But when things are OK, not crazy, not new, not dying we tend to not pay much attention.
