Jude’s month of Life in Colour: Green is drawing to a close and I had some fun at the Botanical Garden this morning, being drawn to morning light on green – although by the time we left I was looking at green in dappled shade.
Last week I took a photograph of a fern that was pointed towards me. It didn’t turn out but I used that as a learning experience and tried again. I doubt that this will be my last try.
As I am working with these photographs I am finding them very sensual. It seems like I have begun the healing process from the very difficult Covid year, spending time feeling depressed and lethargic, close to tears, but also finding joy in a search for gentleness and calm. My blogs will undoubtedly be reflecting this. I’d love to hear where you are in the coping process.
A New Day: Living Life Almost Gracefully 
Love these and see you have been much more determined to post pictures with the new WordPress set up than I have. I post some on my work blog, but my personal one, very rarely. So bravo for sticking with it!

I don’t do most of what it offers, and have two frustrations. When I want to have printing on the side of a photo I make smaller and position on the left, the printing on the right is a very large font – and I can’t find a way to change it. Also, If I want to just post a photo, the title doesn’t show up on top, but way at the bottom of the post. If that is my greatest frustration in life, I can live with it.

Beautiful lush greens. We are breathing a little easier since we’ve had our vaccines. We’re still being careful but just not as scared as we were previously

I hear you, Nora. We got together with friends to play cards tonight – cautious but not fearful.

Thanks, every so often I have some fun with artsy. Some photos seem ideal for a little artsy cropping and adjustment in Lightroom.

Love the greens! With the promise of spring, I’m like you, finally feeling hopeful after a dreadful year of politics and Covid.

And now that I can be hopeful (vaccine, a real President) I am beginning the grieving process.

Nice that you had something to focus on. Ferns are beautiful but often difficult to photograph. I actually like your second photo of the lovely curved leaves. I’m sorry to hear that you have found the last year difficult, let’s hope things improve now, though I suspect we are going to be living with the scars of this pandemic for a very long time to come.

I mentioned covid, but U.S. politics over the past 4 years have also been very stressful. Life feels pretty fragile here. But what fun we have with photography. Glad to share it with you.
