You people are geniuses!

Woah! Unexpected hiatus.

That's code for I was too lazy-slash-distracted to post for about 4 weeks. Apologies.

However, good of you to keep checking in; I really do appreciate it. And I thank those of you - you know who you are - who offered encouragement and advice. I decided at that point to stick with the phone and iPod camera for the time being. Both have their disadvantages - the iPod really must have almost impeccable lighting and even still can produce somewhat grainy photos - but they are above all super portable. Allowing myself this concession actually made me feel motivated and inspired again. I also tried to take BiL's advice to heart, pretending to be a ladybug at times to get the shot. I got some strange looks from various people, but I just told them "You don't understand my muse...."

I hope you enjoy what came out of the last 4 weeks. I expect to be posting with greater regularity after this.

Also happening with greater regularity - although by no means related: I have begun cooking my meals at home again instead of buying cardboard - I mean diet food. Tastes much better and helps me feel accomplished. Sundays are now spent cooking for the week, but that's a small price to pay.

Have a blessed week, All.

Namaste
