The Response: Graduation Party — Cheryl Seeing your kids and their friends at a graduation party is a pretty good reminder that changes happen — generally, before you know it. The changes that may occur in our lives are fine and should be received in the best way for each one, now the changes that […]
The Call: Blowing Bubbles — Cheryl When I decided on placid for today’s Call, I imagined I’d create an image involving water, but I was thinking the calm, reflective surface of a lake, not bubbles floating through the air. Placid means calm, not agitated or disturbed, so blowing bubbles actually fits the bill for me. […]
The Response: Purple Boots — Cheryl I find that getting the perfect shot has a great deal to do with patience and perseverance. Today, I shot nearly 300 photos. It’s almost as if I need to warm up. I generally start out with a specific goal in mind, but the winning image will very likely […]
The Call: Assembled — Cheryl I don’t like to complain that my life is busy, since we all lead busy lives.

The Call: Crunching Through Autumn — Cheryl Stella and I love the sound of dry leaves under our feet.
The Call: Remember to Water — Cheryl When my flowers are so dry they droop, I realize that it’s time to respond with water. The problem is that the thought flitting through my mind doesn’t always lead to giving the flora a drink.
The Response: The Beauty Surrounding Books — Cheryl For about a week now, I’ve been cruising around Augusta with my camera, hoping to find the cherry trees in bloom. Before today, no trees inspired me to lift my camera. The tide is turning, though. The beauties in front of Lithgow Library are coming into their […]
The Response: A Lens that Seldom Sees the Light of Day — Cheryl Most days, it seems as though I’ve forgotten that I own a Lensbaby. I seldom take it out of my bag and attach it to my camera, because I have seldom gotten a shot with it that makes me happy. I look […]
