Photog

You remember when I was doing the 52 Photos Project?  It was a fabulous website by Bella Cirovic.  She is a write an a photographer and put together this blog for 4 years.  The last installment was at the end of April 2016.  I knew I would miss it.

And I do.

So I have tried out several things, but nothing was a perfect for me as 52 Photos Project.   But this week I found a few things on Pinterest, but I have to work on it on my own as opposed to being in a comforting group. 

I actually created some pretty cool photos.  And a few ideas for some modern quilts! 

So I will play with this a while.  The prompts are set up for daily work, and that probably won't happen.  But I can work in order numerically. 

And see what happens.  If anyone would like to join me, I can send you the website.  I have looked at her photo prompts before when I decided on 52 Photos.  I liked her approach.  However there were so many people involved, now the group followers number over 25K. 

I am sure a significant number of those may not be active, and some are like me following independently.  But I like the fact that I can post to an Instagram link if I have a particularly fantastic photo that day. 

Or week.

Whatever, I plan on having me some fun with the camera again!

Which brings me to my favorite word, photovoltaic.   It means converting light into electricity.

Amazing that the week flies by so fast.  Amazing.

Most of what I have been doing is cutting up fabric for the retreat in March.  I have two quilts cut out from the fabric around here, no buying any fabric!  Yes!  And I am working on my houses still.  I have like 40 something now.  Look at all of them.  They will finish at 3 inches.  And I want to make Tiny Tiny Trees to shade the Tiny Tiny Houses.  Won't that be fun?

I have been working on my word quilt, but that just needs binding.  I issued the challenge to my group from Modern 8 to think of a word that will inspire them for the year.  Make a small hanging for their quilt room with that word.  The creativity is amazing in that group.

My word was Albondigas.  Ever since Spanish Class in High School I have loved that word.  It is fun to say......Al -BON-di-gas  (and all A's are short vowel sounds).  I love it.

When I see it over my closet, I laugh, and I need that.  2011 sucked.  2012 will be much better now that things have changed in my life for the better.

My second favorite word is photovoltaic - a means of generating electric energy by using solar radiation and converting it to current electricity.  Frank was researching ways of powering space ships into deep space.  The ship used this radiation to bombard a plate and the ship would be pushed forward.  It was a means of propulsion.  Interesting.  It is cool to say as well.
