Blowing Off The Dust

I've let this blog sit for too long.  I intended it to be used as a creative space, but lately, I haven't done a lot of writing.  That doesn't mean that I haven't had other creative endeavors, however.  I've been trying to improve my photography skills, especially after I got a new camera for Christmas.

So, that leads me to think that maybe I'll let the prose and poetry share space with the photos.  I am also hoping that it motivates me to dabble a little more with words at times.  It's something I love to do, but it's been hard to find time for it.  Hopefully some people will enjoy some of my pictures, and I'll try not to overload this blog with tons of them.

I'm also just hoping to expand outlets for my creative side.  I don't know where that journey will lead me, but it would be nice to share some of it, and get other people's opinions on it.  Maybe other people will read it and look at it, and maybe they won't.

As I close, I'll leave you with a picture that I took as a Daily Shoot assignment recently.  The Daily Shoot is something that I've been following as I try to teach myself a little about what I can do with my camera.  Most of the time, Bunny, my Greyhound, is my model in the pictures, but not always.  We'll see where it leads!

A Way With Words

It's true, you have a way with words
It's something I admire

You paint a picture with some of them
That you call poetry

Others you conduct effortlessly
Into lyrics that I love

Some words you pluck right from the air
And create a killer tale

But the word that you use best is when
You simply call me friend!
