Last week I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and spent Thursday morning over at the Ruth Bancroft Garden. It had been awhile since I had carved out a chunk of time to take my camera out with the sole purpose of creating images. The garden was beautiful and just what I needed to get my creative juices flowing.
Week #12 - Out and About at the Ruth Bancroft Garden
I never get tired of spending time at the Ruth Bancroft Garden. This morning was no exception. The combination of warm weather and rain helped to bring out the blooms throughout garden.
I enjoyed taking in the whole garden and have included some of the beautiful scenery from my visit.
Week #11 - Lensbaby Sol 45
I took out my Lensbaby Sol 45 this weekend and practiced taking images of some new succulents in my garden. I continue to struggle using the manual focus but I do think that I ended up with some nice shots.
Week #3 - Finding Time For Creativity
“The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.”
RIP Mary Oliver
I often feel like there is little time in my daily life to carve out space for creative endeavors. For me the best way to capture some time is to simply schedule a class . Whether a week long class in Paris or a half day class in my home town, making this commitment to my photography brings me great creative happiness.
