What is something you always talk about, but never do?
Hmm, one of the things I talk about a lot but haven’t achieved is perfecting my websites/blogs. Why am I such a perfectionist? It never happens because perfection is impossible! Another thing I think about a lot and talk about with some frequency is making myself a schedule, thinking it will help me be more [...]
cliff jumping
Here’s a path I didn’t take. However, I did jump off a cliff once. It was in the early 90s, I was near La Jolla Cove in San Diego with my boyfriend, and we came across a group of people jumping from a cliff into the ocean. My first impulse was to stay back, but… [...]
Postaday #84: Instant Skills
Topic #84: If you could master any skill instantly, what would it be? Well, this one is easy. My first thought was photography. Then again, maybe I’d choose digital scrapbook element design. If we were to choose to master a skill this way, would it come with the tools we need, like full Photoshop? I [...]

Name a book that changed your life. What influence did it have on your thoughts, attitudes, and actions? [I've just returned from a week in California. After not looking at my new blog design for a week, now that I'm looking at it with fresh eyes, I think.... I don't like it very much and [...]

Postaday #58 The Pencil on My Desk
Topic #58 What is the smallest thing near you? Write a paragraph about it. The smallest visible thing near me is my pencil. It’s a red sparkly pencil with my name on it, one of a large set I bought when I was a teacher over a decade ago. I discovered several months ago that [...]
Postaday #37
Could you live without the internet for a week? For a month? Well, I have lived without the internet for week. It was difficult, but I survived. I do have plenty of things I’d like to do. Most of my favorite things do use the internet — photography, scrapbooking, reading, studying, getting inspired, and communicating [...]
Project 365 Day 20 Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband, who is recovering from jet lag after his long business trip to Hong Kong. I think I’m getting the hang of adjustment layers and layer masks in PSE! Woohoo! I made a hue/saturation adjustment layer, almost completely desaturated the photo, then painted back in the birthday cake. aperture priority [...]
Project 365 Day 19
the western sky viewed from my front yard at 5:15 p.m. today aperture priority f/14 ISO 200 55mm white balance, I think, was cloudy (My camera file info only records auto or manual white balance, not the specific setting. Grr.) How do I make the colors richer, more like I saw with my eyes? I [...]
