A Month in Photos & Video: September 2019

October 8, 2019 By Carole

Now that we’re a week into October, let’s take a look back at September.

Here’s the photo mosaic:

And here’s the 1SE video:

It was a month full of all the things and people I love. Pulling this together, though, was not without it’s challenges this time. I got a new laptop and there’s been a learning curve (I’m looking at you, Windows 10) plus some photos were on my old laptop and some were on here and I haven’t figured out yet what I want to do about Photoshop (do I just buy the downloadable version and be done or do I buy the subscription version and pay every month?) so it just took a little longer this time around. Kind of like a lot of things when there’s change, right?

Speaking of change, I think October will look much different than September!

P.S. Be sure and check in with Kym today for the latest post on our Read With Us online book club. Our book is Just Mercy and you’ve got plenty of time to read it before we start our discussion next month.

Watercolor Wednesday

I’ve got a hot minute to get this post done . . . Dale and I are due at a function and should be leaving in 5 minutes and he’s asking me what he should wear . . . and I need to pack for a conference I’m going to for the next two days . . . and I’ve got a new laptop that’s pretty sweet but also making it so things take much longer than they used to as I adjust . . . and I’ve got a stuffy nose that might be a cold or perhaps allergies . . . and . . . well . . .

you get a watercolor.

Happy October 2nd!

A Month of Photos: August 2019

September 25, 2019 By Carole

We’re at the end of September and it’s fall but today I’m throwing it back to summer because – get this – I never showed you my photos and video from August. I was late with July, too, so I guess this is just routine now. In any case, it seems like a long time ago!

It was a beautiful month. I took lots of photos of people, or at least lots for me, plus the usual flowers, food and drink.

The video is full of great memories, too, with vacation and the beach as well as plenty of fun times.

I’ll try and get my act together with my September recap and share it next week. Maybe.

Watercolor Wednesday

September 18, 2019 By Carole

Friends, I’m having a busy week. It’s a good busy, full of work and plans, but it doesn’t leave a lot of leftover time for writing super interesting blog posts.

And so.

A watercolor (made with the Waterlogue app) of the sunflowers I bought back on Labor Day weekend. They lasted a super long time – in fact I only just threw them out yesterday!

Happy Wednesday, it’s almost the weekend!

A Month of Photos and a Video: JULY 2019

September 3, 2019 By Carole

You might think the title of this post is wrong and that I meant to type AUGUST and not July. But if you thought that you’d be wrong. I sat down at my laptop yesterday afternoon while watching the news and thought . . . what can I post for tomorrow that I can get done quickly so that I can get back to enjoying my Monday holiday? Looking at the calendar I immediately thought of my August mosaic and video. So I headed to flickr to create the mosaic and saw that I hadn’t uploaded a SINGLE photo for the month of JULY. Whoops. They were all done and stored in my files, I just hadn’t posted them online.

So.

I got that done and today I’m sharing July.

That mosaic is just full of so much summer goodness. Flowers and lobster and family, fishing and nights on the deck, an engagement and food and summer book bingo.

The July video does a great job of telling the rest of the story.

I promise I won’t wait until October to share my August pictures and video!
