I am experimenting taking pictures with my brand new cell phone.
What do you think of these beauties?
Don’t they look like “fake fotos?”
I mean, they remind me of the old paint-by-number kits I used to love when I was a little girl.
Staying in the lines and making the colors pop were my goals.
Oh, the hours and the plans I made for framing and display.
I thought they were truly magnificent “originals.”
But then, here are my latest creations.
They were generated by nature and enhanced by “edit,” which can be just as much fun
as painting-by-numbers!

Here comes Spring again!
The Daffys were a happy crew,
until Forsythia chimed in
just in time
for the Red Buds’ promising debut.
Beauty in an Icy World

The last few days have been bright and sunny with clear blue skies and a bracing nip in the air.
But I have not forgotten the first bite of winter just before,
when the world turned misty and the wild grasses leaned and the trees crackled stiffly,
and my once so friendly landscape turned bitter and cold.
Camera Walking With a Stranger

Burning Bush (not really burning of course)
I used to go on walks with my “Pal” Camera – a real camera that felt like a real camera.
But Pal has been replaced by this stranger thing called a smart phone.
It is so much smarter than I am that I need to take lessons and go on practice photo shoots.
Practice Session #1 was this morning and the first problem was the glare.
Cemetery Visit for Halloween
I could barely see what I was photographing so had to take photos standing in the shade. I might have to wear a wide brimmed hat all the time now or miss out on great photo ops!
The next problem was in holding the thing still. I never felt shaky with a camera before but I need a walker to lean on for this one.
Then if I tried to zoom in with that funny thing you do with your fingers on a “touch screen” the shot would get either too big or too fuzzy.
And finally, the “stupid phone” would not respond to my brutal tapping on the shutter camera icon.
There were only three recognizable pictures conjured from a 30 minute walk on a beautiful fall day.
And people out for a Sunday stroll no doubt wondered why that strange woman was standing so long in one place aiming her phone at a burning bush.
