Drifting through life

  The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along and read it. This month the words/prompts are supplied by  ME and can be found right here This week's words/prompts are:  1. pipes and drums band  2. patch  3. setbacks  4. garnish  5. rubble  6. costly  and/or:  1. dropout  2. espalier  3. sari  4. cloudless  5. trace  6. fabric My story carries on from last week's beginning, so for those that missed it I will include it here. I stood uncertainly in the gloomy shop, searching the shelves for something I didn’t know yet. A voice from behind said, “it’s on the second she...

My story will be right here on this blog on Friday, as always, unless I can't think of anything to write. Don't laugh, it happens, I wake up and find my brain has gone AWOL.

  So far the only differences I can see between my old Fuji and my new Canon is the colours are truer and the focus is different.  I used the zoom to take this photo of yellow roses across the yard while standing on my front porch. You will notice the background is out of focus, while with the old Fuji, it would have been in focus.  This is the "auto" setting, I've yet to play around with any other.  The Canon is of similar size and shape to the Fuji, but feels different in my hands, it will take a bit of getting used to, also the buttons are in different places.

 Long, long ago, in days of yore...Kim of Frog ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I occasionally join in as do a few others. Drop in to Elephant's Child and have a look. only a couple of photos today and they aren't mine you all remember Supergirl's moon photo? here it is again in case you forgot how great it looks and here is a day time photo of the moon: pretty cool, right? you can still see the craters 😀 My own new camera arrives sometime this coming week, but I'll be waiting for warmer nights before I stand outside looking at the moon.

 She took a photo of the moon. YOU CAN SEE THE CRATERS! That's the kind of zoom I want. I'm shopping for a new camera tomorrow.
