(Day 341) - Take a Chill Pill

CJ was stressed over his photo for the day. He had no ideas. There were plenty of things around but nothing inspired him. Had he lost his "phojo?"

As he took a walk, he noticed this pill bug. It's life seemed so...chill. Then it hit him. He needed to chill too. Just shoot! Even if it's not the greatest masterpiece in the world, he'll still learn something AND he'll be able to chill with his photo being done for the day.

Therefore, CJ took a simple shot of Mr. Pill Bug. But sometimes the simplest things can teach us the biggest lessons. Enjoy your 365 Projects, my friends. :)
CJ learned quite a good lesson today. Nicely captured.

Seeing Shawna's note, I'd say ALL children seen to love Pill Bugs (or Roly Poly's as they'd call them!) I LOVE your message Chris...CJ is right on target...just chill and enjoy the project. For the present I'm in Keep-Up mode and will worry about That oh so fabulous Photo at a later time!

I know exactly how CJ feels! I took a quick photo of my paintings today and was happy I got my photo for the day.

@Weezilou - I forgot about the name Roly Poly's!! That sure brings back childhood memories! I know exactly what you mean about Keep-Up mode. Trying to keep my project going and comment when I can. Life's so busy. But stopping for a moment to really enjoy the project definitely helps to alleviate a bit of the stress. Thanks for the wonderful comment!

Great shot and great sentiment - very true
January 22nd, 2018  
nice sentiment. I recall being fascinated with these as well in my childhood. Now I'm just, "yuck, get out of my garden."

Great advice from CJ and a great photo for you

CJ has a range of outfits -- and expressions?

@bintal - Thanks Sylvia! Some days are definitely tougher than others but I've found that after relaxing a bit, a good (or good enough) subject presents itself. Also thanks for the follow! :0

@jyokota - He was waaaaay more than me...and he's probably more expressive too! :D
January 23rd, 2018  
nice! aces!
January 23rd, 2018  
looking down, looking up...whatever it takes to de-bug or re_bug, whichever!

Nice job CJ- I'm sure this turned out to be a really nice macro too with all the texture on that pill bug.
