From an artistic standpoint, the photos that grab me the most are Reflection with the zebras mirrored in the water, the top of a Makgadikgadi cabin in Triangle, and the eerie photo of me holding a Knife. My favorite, though, is Arches. I walked downtown, thinking I would capture the archway at the entrance to Cheng Park. Given the park is at the corner of Marsh and Santa Rosa streets, it was difficult to capture the arch at a good angle without the sun shining into my camera. Sheila and I continued walking down Marsh and on the bridge over the creek, I noticed these three foot tall arches. I knelt down, snapped a photo, and played with the image on Lightroom. I love the way it turned out!
Another photo that speaks to me is Thankful, as Emmett picking apples from my friends Astrid and Dennis’ tree represents love, family, friendship, bounty, and nature.
Finally, for Work in Progress, I decided to set up my tripod and take a self-portrait. I am a work-in-progress. I’m learning, growing, trying, failing, succeeding, faltering, brushing myself off to try once again. I am, as Merriam-Webster would say, “a project that is not yet finished.”

Nice! I especially like the whimsy in “Busy.” I thought the little boy was “Work in Progress” but it was “Thankful.” That it was you is possibly more interesting.!! LOL
Haha! Sometimes it’s fun to come up with different interpretations of the prompts, such as with “Busy.” Emmett is a work-in-progress – and I’m so thankful for him and everything represented in that image. I am most definitely and pleasantly still a work-in-progress. 😘
