So it has been six months since I became an unemployed person. I expected to have lots of time and energy to work both my photography and this blog. The best laid plan of mice and men would most accurately describe that plan. I have been suffering from an inability to focus on this project or on my photography. I have gotten some big projects off the ground- my bathroom is in the process of being renovated but I have not made the progress I had hoped.
Turns out that I have developed new onset diabetes. A bit of a surprise for me as no one in our family has had a history of diabetes. I am looking at it as the reward for 25 years of self indulgence!
Anyway I am hoping to feel better soon and have actually taken a few shots in recent weeks.
I have acquired a new toy into the bargain. I gave my Olympus P&S to my sister and bought a Lumix FZ35. It takes movies with sound and has a 12 Megapixel capture, and has the ability to accept filters which was a challenge with the Olympus.
Spring has arrived although it is snowing today - even as I type this I am saying good-bye my pear and persimmon crop.
As a self confessed flower photo lover I am trying to move beyond the single bloom centered macro. Let me know what you think.
