20 photos of my trip to post office

This was sort of a challenge amongst a friend and I. It was rebuttle of nothing is interesting this time of year. These photos were taken on March 8, 2011. These photos represented my trek to the post office. Granted I took an unconventional route back..ah through the alley. However, I wanted to prove once again "Ordinary can be Extraordinary"

NEVER EVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT

I never understood how everyone wanted to "digitally" get all their music, or read all their books....till now. When I first got my droid and discovered kindle on there the application sat idle for months. It wasn't till the talented author Patricia Bremmer, released this book only for kindle
that I threw caution to the wind and tried. I was immediately hooked by the author, and had to read more. Discovering that some of her books were hard to get in print, I am like what the heck, I will buy the Kindle book for my droid. After reading every single book Bremmer wrote I absolutely had to have a Kindle. Every ereader they make wasn't a consideration it had to be the Kindle ereader. As I always do, once I hit BUY IT NOW immediately buyers remorse kicked in. It wasn't till I had the kindle in my hands, did I discover I made the best decision ever. I eat my words on technology. Although I still love my paperbacks, I must say I never leave home without my kindle. Yes folks I have found a new love and a new passion my Amazon kindle!

As fragile as we may be

"The Apple Tree"

A friend from college sent me this picture and asked me if I could come up with a short quote on the tree. I needed a bit of background information on the tree, and I said I would be good to go.
She explained to me this tree has been in her family for many years, but the family farm got sold and because of costs involved in moving and uprooting a tree they had to leave it behind. Her father passed away, and it appears this tree probably holds many tears, secrets, stories and moments.
I can almost envision myself under the shade of that tree reading a good book, with a tall glass of ice tea, soaking in the suns warmth.

This was my quote to the family

"Our family much like the apple tree began as but a seed
Individual as we are, we are branches of the same tree.
Fragile, yet strong
Nourished by encouragement and love, to fully blossom
Much like the tree, our family roots run deep."

What do you see through the window?

This is a photo I took of a old garage window. I fell in love with this broken window even before I got out of the car. It's amazing what one sees through a camera lens as beautiful. I took the picture from four different angles, I wasn't sure how much glare I would get from the sun and the glass.

Interesting what you see, the same window but four totally different scenes.

It just goes to show, there is always more than one side to every story, and no matter how bleak you feel life can be there is always other angles to consider.

Intertwine

I am making a promise to myself and to others that I will be better at updating my blog. I am going to try and incorporate my random words, my daily tasks, my photography, book, television and music recommendations all into one humble blog. I will eventually have a photography only dedicated blog as well!
