Landscape
2
Today’s photo prompt is landscape. Directions include “in the style of Ansel Adams.” Not easy to do. I scanned through my old photos and found these. Two places I love–my brother’s old property in New Mexico and the North Fork of the Stanislaus river, CA. I can’t tell you where because it’s a *secret* swimming hole.
Not too many landscapes in my collection. I’ll be adding some more soon. Long shot open vistas. Photos to expand the lungs and the mental viewpoint. Big deep breath nature photos. They’re coming.
Fooling with the cropping of the New Mexico photo, here are some options. Let me know what you think….

Finishing Projects Wabi-Sabi Style
How to finish craft projects:
1. Wait for a rainy day.
2. Find some good binge t.v. show to watch (I watched and recommend The Bletchley Circle on Netflix. It’s a murder-mystery starring a group of women who met as WWII Code Breakers at Bletchley Park. A+ for character development and historical value!).
3. Make, make, make.
4. Take some pics.
The blanket isn’t done yet, but closer! The stripey circle pillow has been half done for over a year. Now it has a similar, but slightly different stripey pattern on the back and is all sewn up. It’s a little wonky, or should I say, wabi-sabi (the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection).
Embracing wabi-sabi is my m.o. these days. I have let go of trying to make things perfect. Small, spare, bent, broken, wonky–these are qualities to embrace. Even watching too much binge t.v. can be embraced occasionally.
I am hoping to give some homemade gifts this Christmas, but I’m a little stuck as to what to make for people. I’m hoping that I’ll get inspired by finishing up some of these other projects.
Are you doing handmade Holidays? What are you making for people?
