111/365 inspiration

All my bookshelves are packed so I'm rediscovering my photo inspiration books that were in the office so they didn't get packed. So visually stimulating .... I really need to break out of my house and try some new viewpoints!

Thank goodness for the library too - books keep me sane.

80/365 Book still life

A still life created with books focused on specific colors, some Zen rocks and stuff. It's on top of my wine rack.


I just counted and figured I should be at picture 88 for one-a-day. I've missed 8 days so far....not bad.

78/365 - bookmark

About half way through the Gandhi book - using the bookmark Donna gave me for my birthday. Using natural light from the window....

77/365 theme #92: famous authors

This theme of 'famous authors' fit my self-imposed theme of books/reading for this week, so I raided my shelves to come up with this random collection of authors I think fit that appellation.

In case you can't read all the names: Rowling, Rice, McEwan, Hosseini, Stegner, Kingsolver, Moore, Buck, Rand, King, Brown, Koontz, Picoult and Follett.

76/365 Feng Shui Books

Created a still life using some of my feng shui books. I like making still life arrangements, but the house gets all jumbled as I pull things from all over. Then it takes forever to put everything away (but it did make me dust a few things!). The price we pay for art :)

I realized one slight disadvantage of the blog over my Shutterfly page is that the pictures and comments actually show up in 'reverse' order so that as I start the week's theme, the notes or explanation are at the end of the week's postings. I'm assuming you're all bright enough and interested enough to scroll through all the entries to figure all that out. However, it defintely is much easier for me to post here, so I think I'll keep this venue - until something more appealing comes along!

75/365 more Gandhi book

Playing around with using a magnifying glass (in the Gandhi book). Tried a lot of versions but liked it best when I converted to black & white.

Had a little mishap this afternoon - broke off about 1/2 of one of my crowns. A trip to the dentist and $1200 later, it's all good.

74/365 Reading Gandhi

My book for the family "book club" arrived today. At first glance it seems readable so I'm looking forward to getting started. I also ordered this shorter book to give me some historical reference about him.

The arrival of the book has inspired the theme for this week - all of my pictures will focus on books and reading....
