A Poem For Me

I want to stay a girl,
I want to stay small,
I want to make believe
and to spin and swirl.

I don't want to grow up,
I don't want to care about stupid things,
I just want to be me
and live from day to day.

I wish I was a story,
I wish stories were true,
I wish it was all as simple
as author's say they do.

But I know there's a hand to guide me,
and He watches from above,
and I know that He will catch me
every time I fall.

So Happy Birthday to me,
don't cry a tear,
you can be a girl
for just another year.

    Lovely. :) Feeling a tad bittersweet/melancholy?

    Something like that. I've been on the edge of weepy all day.

    That is beautiful.

    And of course you are a story - we are all stories. Viewing my life as a story is so helpful.

    Happy Birthday!

    Growing old is inevitable; growing up is optional.

Summer fly was buzzin' . . .

At long last, Oregon has decided it's time for summer. Or it at least thinks it should be warmer. Oregon has strange weather. Yesterday I went on a hike at a local trail and it was nice. There was a lot of bright flowers, and a beautiful waterfall. I'll post some pictures soon, along with some others I've taken recently. My photography class is officially over, and so I have nothing I can tell people so they don't think I'm some lazy bum. (Which is true, but people don't need to know that.) So that's all, I just thought I should make a post, I haven't done it in a while.

Now The Parties Over, But Don't Abandon Ship Just Yet

I don't know how many have been following my 365 photo challenge, but it is finito!  So does that mean the end of my blog? Nah.  I'll still be around, here are a few things you might be seeing in the near future. Instead of a daily photo, I hope to bring you the best photos of the week, month.  Anyway you look at it, there will be photos. Do you ever wonder what all those functions are for on your camera?  I've come across many people who don't know how to use their cameras beyond AUTO.  Thus I will be debuting "Stepping out of the Little Green Box".  Each post will focus on one feature, so you can learn without getting data overload.  I'll keep it interesting and short, because let's face it. In this day and age, we want out information short and sweet. Do you have any suggestions, questions?  Put a comment down below and I'll answer you.

It's coming, just two day left . . .

The world of NANOWRIMO is about to unfold. It will be my second try, and hopefully I'll do better then I did in 2007. Here is my potential story I'm going to work on. Summary: A friend with a passion for science has developed an unheard of feat, a time machine. That's right, H. G. Wells for reals. Nadie volunteers for the job of a lifetime. The first person to travel through time. Numbered among other great explorers such as Lewis and Clark. With Regency Era England as her destination, will Nadie keep suspicion from the curious eyes? And . . . when a realization comes, will she be able to make the right choice?
