Businessman on Overpass

It was another beautiful day~~up to 55 degrees.  I went to the Y again this morning and was exhausted when I got home.  I thought I'd just hang out in the house, but after resting I decided I needed to get out and enjoy the weather.

I went to town, yet again.  As I walked past this overpass that goes from one office building to another across a street, I saw this man walking and quickly composed to get this image.  

Not the best image, but I like it.

Paddleboarder

As I was walking across the Chena River bridge, I wanted to take a photo of the water and the trees, but this paddle boarder was in the scene, so that was a bonus.  By the time I had my camera focused I noticed that she might be taking a selfie.  Another bonus.

I personally wouldn't take my phone anywhere near a body of water, but each to their own I guess.

My heart was happy:

to come across an unexpected scene

Water Pipes

Today as I was driving to a friend's house, I saw these pipes in the field.  There were a lot of them, so I knew there is some construction in the future, but I wasn't sure what they are actually for.  When I arrived at my friend's house, I asked her if she knew and she said they are water pipes.  So there ya go!

I love the color of these pipes~~it contrasts so nicely with the dead grass and winter landscape.  I only had my phone with me...I've carried my big cameral with me so many times when I never took it out of the bag that I decided to leave it home today.  So naturally a scene presented itself.  

There's a saying that the "best" camera is the one in your hand at any given time, so today my best camera was my phone.  Not usually my camera of choice, but today it worked.

Another Test

76/365

The phone rang.  I don't usually answer it until I hear who's calling.

But the phone was right next to me, so I looked at the caller ID.  It was the hospital.  Uh oh !

I had a mammogram yesterday.  "This can't be good news",  I thought.  I heard the voice saying, "we see something and we want you to come in for another test".

I've already started planning how to get rid of my possessions so the kids won't have to do it.

I'm over-reacting.  I know it.

We made the appointment.  Next week.  Too long, but the soonest they could get me in.

God is in control.  I can rest in His Hands.  Thank God I can do that !

I had already planned on trying a new recipe for dinner and making cookies.

So I got busy doing that.

A good distraction??  Kind of.  Not good enough though.

But when I got to the cookies, and thinking about how I was going to photograph them, and then actually photographing them...yes !

God and photography, the cheapest anti-depressants I know.
