Winging it... by maggiemae

Winging it...

A wing from a wasp made it on to my album - without the sting, you might notice! I seem to have had wildlife happenings what with the demise of this wasp and a bird that got caught in my Glass house. I made a grab at it and got some feathers unintentionally but decided this wing was a bit more delicate!

Three good things:
1. No more Victorian Festival events to go to - don't need to go dashing around!
2. Made a birthday card and processed a nice photo to be printed in it.
3. Making a movie of our home and garden to go on to a DVD for Christmas presents.
This is beautiful! The background is perfect and the detail is crisp and gorgeous. fav

She has a ritual of writing down three blessings, good things, gifts etc. every day. After one year you will have over one thousand. I really like the idea !

@traceyhn thanks for sharing that link. It is lovely. I do a gratitude journal every day and have to come up with 5 things grateful for and try not to repeat it. Been doing it two years now and that along with 365 has given me new view of my world 😊

A complete new angle for you maggiemae & you have done a wonderful job with this simple wasp wing & faved by so many already I think we all agree!! Such detail & the editing is inspired....I feel I am in a complete rut at the moment with my photography so must take a leaf out of your book & get creative.
