No much on the ideas front today! I get a little tired sometimes of trying to get a photo that I’m happy with. One day I’m going to post a picture of mud!
These rhododendrons are coming out in our garden which may mean winter is slipping into the past!
Three good things:
1. Getting at least 3 ‘planks’ achieved a day, I’m definitely stronger - don’t fall over when I’m taking my socks off!
2. Lots of lovely dog photos on 365.
3. The smell of satay pork cooking in the oven.
Yes I know the feeling and sometimes the ideas just aren´t there, i find it best simply to let my mind rest and try again the next day, it usually works for me. Lovely shot & I can almost smell the pork, yammy!
Lovely shot. If your winter is coming to an end then it means our summer is also ending and I don't feel it's really started yet! You are always so positive Maggieme so I'm glad you didn't feel down for too long
1 min is my norm. I've done 2. Once at the gym we did 3 or something but we were changing positions and angles. It is hard. But yes gets you stronger. I've heard of some crazy person doing hours. Gotta be crazy for that and a navy seal:). You are doing great. Do you and hubby plank together? that sounds very personal:).
Love your flower. Your winter is slipping into the past, as you say. It means our autumn is just around the corner, but I'm happy with all the summer days that are still to come.
A beautiful flower and I bet the Bush will look wonderful when all the blooms are out! Sorry you are,a bit down - I get like that when the sun doesn't shine! I must investigate this plank you are all talking about!
I can relate to you on trying to get a great picture each and every day, and that's okay! I thought that now that it's summer I would have more ideas than in winter, but not necessarily so. I'm impressed you are still planking and I must try it as my core really needs strengthening. I will follow your link to get inspired. Pretty rhododendron!
I suspect that your feeling is shared by many, but your conscientious efforts are often rewarded with a beautiful shot. I like the delicate paper-like texture of the petals. Hopefully, spring is on the way. 3 "planks" a day... great job!
@eyesmile We are a long way off Spring Gena so it is lovely to see some colour in the garden. Still got snow and frosts to come - next lot this weekend!
@barb_b Thanks Barb - these flowers are right at the back and underneath the big bush - so I had some difficulty photographing them. But its probably the best shelter!
When I get in a funk, I try to find something funny or odd to take photos of. When I was on Flickr (another photo site) I took a photo of two dog turds that were porous and white and shaped a bit like eggs!! I named it "Two eggs that will never hatch" It won awards and everything and no one knew what it was until later when I told them. The comments made me laugh so hard that I totally forgot about being in a funk for photos and got my photojo back!! Now that your spring is nearly here or is here, there will be so much more to photo and you will be ready to go again!! This is a FAV from me. I love these flowers!! Great details and lighting!!
@cashew Thank you Kathy - you say the right thing! It brought a big smile on to my face! But you must be clever with your camera to get such a tribute!
Nice image - now that I'm in year two, if I don't have an image for the day, I have a lovely time looking through the albums to find a suitable one - that way I get to revisit 'the places I've been'.
@dide I do agree with you looking back on your albums and if you have put a good description of the photo as when you took it, its like a pictorial diary!
I know what you mean about getting tired sometimes. You do a fabulous job though and we all appreciate your effort!! This is lovely - almost looks like paper - so pretty and delicate.
I would have to trouble taking a picture of mud, just for a change - not - it's raining again here :) This is a lovely shot of a beautiful flower. I like the multiple colours and the petals look like paper.
A lovely sign of spring and think of all the opportunities for pictures once spring comes around. already looking forward to your pictures. this one is stunning, the colors, the softness of the almost transparent pedals. fav all over.
Lovely detail on the beautiful flower
