...Why Write a Blog?






Our home work assignment in our "Blogging Class", (yes, I am taking a class to do this) is to answer, "Why am I doing this?" I think my purpose has something to do with being older and maybe wiser but definitely more focused on the world I live in, the beauty, the intrigue, the challenges, the celebrations. Photography has given me permission to capture these focused moments . Everyday is incredibly interesting when viewed through the lens of my camera. It makes me so happy I want to live forever. I want to share the joy.






I know what you are thinking after our Mussel dinner experience. You think I am a Martha Stewart "wanna-be" and that I spent time tying lemons in little mesh bags and setting the table with multi sized crystal stemware. No so. Usually it's a tray, a white procelain bowl , a spoon and a fork while watching Brian Williams and the 6:30 news. The photo was taken in a restaurant while on a road trip along the coast of Maine.






Traveling coast of Maine in September with a camera and an appetite for seafood is such a memorable experience. With two friends I spent 14 days along the coast exploring coves and harbors, lighthouses, little villages, and hard to get to islands. I'll share some of those photos with you.

  1. I didn't know there was such a thing as blogging classes... My question is what kind of class is this? Is it a class you sign up for at the community center, or a college class? Because if colleges are letting people take blogging classes they have changed a lot in the last few years.

    Just wondering...

  3. No problem... I have a photoblog myself and am always interested in those who are also striving to better themselves when it comes to photography!
