Was not feeling up to making a photo today. But spilled out my wooden buttons anyway and was just gonna photograph them like that. Then I noticed the flower-like button and the inspiration hit me. Sometimes pushing yourself to just shoot is a great way to get the mind off of things going on right now. Try to stay both physically & mentally healthy, friends. ๐
Chris, I just wanted to say that you are a bright light during this gloomy time. Your cheerfulness and creative shots are always something to look forward to in the day. Hope all is well. :)
@sunnygirl - Thank you very much, Mallory for taking the time to return and add another comment. I really needed that today. I'm very glad that I can bring some happiness during these tough times. Your bright and colorful photos do the same!
@gggg - Hahaha, I lose buttons on my pants all the time as I'm too rough with them. But at least they eventually get added to my collection. haha. Thanks for the fun comment.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond - I'm feeling better now. Had a random bout with depression the past two days. Thankfully it's not bad enough to paralyze me and I also mend it with photography and with dear friends. That's one reason why I love creating photos that make people smile because it helps me in a small way but also I get to help others in a small way.
I try not to let it spill out in my comments and descriptions here, lol. But thanks very much for asking. That was very kind of you. :)
I love these buttons :) And i read your comment above this and my heart goes out to you - do hope you are feeling better today. And as you say - friends and photography are great medicines!! Take care and keep smiling as you make us smile so often with your wonderful quirky photos, and of couse CJ too :)
@gilbertwood - Thank you Denise for taking time to read it. That means a lot. The feeling has subsided and I'm feeling more positive again, as my usually self. Haha. It happens very randomly but I'm happy I could make this photo for you all despite the bleh feeling.
