a NEW photo challenge entry

Happy Tuesday!

My NEW resolve to blog more has, well…. {I have no excuses!!!}

But I wanted to quickly document our trip to Mazatlan last month by participating in Nancy’s “A photo a Week Challenge:VIEW”. The resort we stayed at had some great views and it was a very fun and relaxing trip. Since we haven’t gone on many trips lately, obviously because of the pandemic, it was great to getaway. And I’m just so thankful we were safe and returned home without incident. All of the canceled flights and the Omicron variant exploded shortly after we got home, whew!!!

Here’s another view!

Have a terrific day and do or learn something NEW!

a NEW app and NEW sites to enjoy

There’s nothing like waking up to the aches and flu-like symptoms to start a weekend off!  I took a sick-day off work today and I’m hoping these symptoms get better instead of worse!  So while I’m resting and trying to feel better I visited a few websites that always seem to inspire me, but I haven’t gone to for quite a while.  I know they always have good stuff, but life is life and I don’t normally have hours to spend on the computer 🙂  I know you know what I’m sayin’!

So!…I’ve rediscovered a few:

I think I’ve mentioned this site before, but it’s such a motivating site for my photography efforts.  Check it out if you haven’t yet….it’s called Light StalkingGood stuff!

Now, you all know I LOVE doing or learning or reading NEW things.  I’m also interested in how I can accelerate learning.  That subject is a fascinating one for me.  So today I took the time to watch 5D Secrets of Accelerated Learning.  It was about an hour long, but I really liked it.  Loved, loVED, LOVED Tanya Moore’s accent!  Good stuff!

And lastly, I found a NEW app I want to use.  It’s call Stuck on Earth and I heard about it from the Digital Photography School’s newsletter that came in my email.  I was reading the article about 5 Creative Ways to Find New Locations to Photograph and they recommended this app.  Sounds very cool, so I’m going to download it soon.

Have a GREAT day!  Learn or DO something NEW!

ps. You may know that my goal is to post photos from my own stash whenever possible, but sorry, I don’t have a picture of me being sick (thank goodness….what an awful sight!)  So in honor of the snow that appeared on the ground this morning, I’m posting a my favorite winter scene from last year.
