Slithering into the early morning

Spending some time in a horizontal position is what my back needed. I was hurting around 6pm last night so I laid down and was going to rest for an hour. Well, 6 hours later I wake and find the lower back relaxed as this snake below. What a great surprise, I’m just hoping it’s not temporary.

Looks like a busy day ahead with 16 items on the ToDo list and another 20 on my Hobby list. I guess that is why I’m never at a loss for what to do. I just consult my list. And I have tons of them. I used to keep most of them between my ears, now I have to write them down.

Since I took my Maryland Eastern Shore Exhibit down, I’ve been torn on what to replace that with. So, I started running across a few photos I liked and started the presses. That would be the Canon Pro-100 printer.

Early this morning I was making prints for a series on Textures and found this shot that I hadn’t used here. It feels strange being in a good mood, working on things that make me happy and at the same time the country may be facing a great crisis.

It’s a difficult thing to reconcile each day. But one must keep their sanity so I’ll march on again today.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • Having doubts is okay. Dwelling on them isn’t.
  • The further west I go in this state the better the drivers are.
  • I’m getting very near my target weight.
  • There is a good stretch of weather coming that I hope to take full advantage of.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
