A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |
July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Picture taking went from the Kodak Brownie to other types of film cameras. For awhile the Polaroid was a rage. I actually started taking environmental pictures when I took a photo Journalism course. At that time I learned about 35mm cameras and film. Now, anyone with a phone can take pictures and movies. The draw back is the quality and size of the pictures. Putting them on a computer and using software to rearrange them is very nice. Everyone in my immediate family has some type of picture taking apparatus. Probably, the most talented picture taker is my daughter-in-law. She has an art degree and a good digital camera. |
