Just a quick shot of yesterdays guys fixing our windows.
I feel I should be thinking much more outside the box, less of the diary shots & more artistry is needed!
I used to be able to do it & that’s when I had more time. The daily photo has become much more of a chore sometimes lately…..I must mend my ways next year perhaps!
Three good things:
1. Heavy hailstones this morning….so noisy but we were inside!
2. A new Country Living magazine for a treat.
3. The last of the overseas cards have been posted.
Pat , you are not the only one - I am also struggling and wonder from day to day what I can do , then if I have an idea - I can not be bothered to carry it out - At least you have interesting happenings in the new home to record and interest us !
@julzmaioro@beryl Thank you both. I remember when I first started I used to lie in bed planning where I would take a photo the next day….I have got jaded but am lots to lose all my friends on here by giving up. I’m sure it’s hard for everyone now & then. You’re right if course Beryl, lots going on here in the last year so should be grateful.
I am struggling too because I have lots of other projects on the go. I am posing already prepared photos at the moment rather than ones taken on the day.
Your diary shots are just fine because they show what is going on in your life.
Lovely view from indoors. And I find looking back that what I have as a record is SO valuable.
But I also agree with what you say about friends and about creativity etc! Look out 2022....let's see what inspiration grows! 😊
@beryl I'm exactly like you Beryl - that 'can't be bothered' thing! Done all the fancy shots - panning, bokeh, trick ones etc. I just wait for something to happen then get a bit desperate when nothing does!
@maggiemae@beryl I love seeing the everyday shots though so both of you carry on as you are. Your everyday shots are ones we haven’t seen before especially if from a far away country. I think most of us feel the same although I personally don’t feel the same pleasure I used to do putting up something that’s a bit different!
Thank you for your kind words…..I’m not getting out for walks just as much as I did because my hip is playing up slightly so the nature opportunity is limited but I shan’t give up!!!
You’re doing better than me - awol for more than a month! Dropping by to see if Issy is OK in Scotland and spotted your repairs. Fixed before the Christmas holidays at least!
Oh, Pat, I needed to "hear" all these comments. It is obvious that many of us share the same feelings but we still hang in there taking pictures because we don't want to give up the connections we have established over the years. I enjoy being part of your life and I hope you and others feel the same about me.
Keep going Pat. Your diary shots are great. I missed my friends on here so much when I had a break. I'm struggling to get going again now. I'm banned by my family from going into town as there is a very high covid rate here. I do get desperate thinking of things to photograph!!
@essiesue Thanks Sue it’s good to hear I’m not alone, I did think I wouldn’t be the only one but I was getting a bit embarrassed about my boring shots!
For me it’s the people & comments more than the photos so I’m never bothered if the picture isn’t quite up to scratch!
@thistle01 Thanks Joyce…. Yes it’s not so easy to get about just now especially if you live in a more urban place…..crowds are better avoided if possible but I enjoy any photo that goes up here so no worries!
You sound more organized than me..

Thank you & I would be lost without my 365 diary I must admit!
