Ok we are fighting for spring and all that warmth.  But Ma Nature is not letting us win without a big fight.  I am certainly getting ready to push the limit of good ideas and perhaps putting the outside tires on the bike this weekend.  We will see what comes.

The dust has settled around our house in a literal fashion, seems the drywall is required and the dust goes with it.  I am hoping to clean this up and get on with the part of making it wonderful.  So much work and so much to complete over the next couple of days.  See how much motivation I have for this stuff.

I am pondering my camera again looking for that little bit of light that gives me the photo I want.  I have found a couple of interesting sites on youtube of course that help with thinking about light and how it influences the shot.  I have started to look at so many things to determine if I could make a photo out of the moment.  It is a habit that a lot of photographers use and develop so I thought I would play along.  I was thinking about some of my favourite photos from the last year.  Most if not all happened in the warmer months as I find much more inspiration when I can get out and not freeze or get fog in my lens.  I was thinking about how I have some photo frames that need to be used and I think it will be a while before I get a lot of post production time.  But that is ok I will keep looking for light and making it a habit to think like I have my camera in my hip pocket.

So for a different tangent I was discussing work and future with somebody this week.  They said to me if you think you are irreplaceable then try this out.  Stick your hand in a bucket of water, pull it out of the water and see the hole that you have left.  Now think about how irreplaceable you really are.

So my kids introduced me to a youtube channel and this young person who I will leave off the named list, said something that many people that are older/more mature or just that much smarter should listen to.  He said something like this, I decided I would not get caught up competing with others, I would compete with myself to be the best that I can be and to strive to be better if not the best I can at what I do because I want to be better than I was yesterday.  I will have to find the post and actual quote.  Sort of stuck with me.

Todays blog is like a chocolate chip cookie, some good bits and some not so good bits.  But hey it is a thought and comment.

I hope everyone is putting a good word in for spring and that the warm weather comes your way!

Yeah Go Spring Go!
