It’s not as easy as it sounds

One of my not stated goals (not a resolution, not a plan, just a goal) is to improve my photography this year. Everything I read from other photographers says that you can’t become better by just looking at photos, reading about how they are done, or browsing. You actually have to take your camera out and practice. I’m not good at that. It stays in the bag most of the time because I find myself busy with other things. But I need to make it a priority if I want to improve. 

  So I am doing a prompt a day to force myself to get out the camera and record. Today is the second day and I didn’t look at the prompt ahead of time. It was “breakfast” which I had already eaten. Sigh. So instead I took this picture with my iphone when I was at coffee with the girls.

It’s not a very good picture. But it is a picture. I am drinking green tea on a very cold morning. I find it refreshing. We go out every morning but I eat my breakfast at home. We sit, we talk, we share. I like getting up and meeting the girls for it gives me a reason to start my day by getting dressed and getting active. Tomorrow’s prompt is an “animal” so that should be easier. We are taking Sadie up to the vet at Orchard Park in Buffalo for an evaluation. Those of you who have been following my blog for a while know that Sadie has had her surgery but still won’t walk. We need to find out what is going on and if it can be fixed.
