Lori, do you or have you submitted any of your photos to any of the natural mags or whatever? I have a friend here in Jax who has travelled all over the world and takes marvelous photos, like you.....she won the National Audobon award a few years ago for her photo of ?????can't recall, dad-blast-it! Amazing the trips and walks and stake outs and such to get something as lovely as yours. You must be out walking throughout the lake woods/property and wherever you go. I'm in love w/your photography and jealouse as well... for many years I wanted to use some of my limited creativity but too often locked up inside....w/photos. I have an older camera, film, but must either learn to use it or get an inexpensive digital camera, or use my phone.....think I'll begin w/the phone, and go online to ck out the older camera. It's a good one with several lens attachments, belonged to my deceased fiance.
You're getting my creative juices going.....Thanks and blessings to you, Lori. Please keep the lovelies coming...elizabeth

Thank you, Elizabeth. Oh golly, years ago I did enter a few photographs. For some reason it just didn’t appeal to me. The same with entering my quilts in shows. I’m not one for accepting accolades I guess. In truth, I prefer to ‘fly under the radar’ most of the time. But thank you for the encouragement.
I’m happy to share my photos on here with you and our fellow community members though. Obviously I didn’t need much prodding for that! LOL. Maybe because it’s not a competition?
Yes! Start taking photos. Of anything! It gets you in the practice of seeing ‘through a different lens’. Pun intended. Inspiration is everywhere. Artists see things differently. It comes with practice. Being inside doesn’t have to limit your photo creativity!
What’s your older camera? I have an old Canon AE-1. it’s a grand camera with all the extra lenses! I still love to shoot with film. But it’s getting so difficult to find any place to develop now. We used to have a large darkroom. My husband, daughter and I all were involved. We moved and never set it up again. I fought digital for years but finally caved and love it.
Whatever I can do to help inspire you to create, I’m you’re girl! On my work table this afternoon are 2 new journals I’m finishing. (I make the books, i don’t write in them!) Tomorrow I start baby blankets and bibs for one of my chemo nurses who became like family. She’s having a little girl in a month.
Enjoy your evening! Lori.
