notes for the journey . january 24
i have been thinking about a series of posts with a theme like: i think you should know about this (just in case you don't). but that is a bit cumbersome i think. i imagine these posts being a gathering of people catching my eye, new things i have learned, ideas, bits i have discovered...like a collection of notes jotted down that i can't wait to share.
i am going to call these posts: notes for the journey.
today's notes:
the jewelry of paper wings (aka my delightful friend jen goff). her jewelry is elegant, inspired by nature, and full of light...just like she is. i just adore her. and jen recently started a blog (check it out and welcome her to blog world).
the perfect little dessert (judy introduced me to this): medjool dates + cream cheese.
the four. such inspiration here. can't wait to see what these four girls do next.
the farm chicks blog. these girls bring such happiness into the world. and i am enjoying the bursts of goodness they share through recipes and other fun things on their blog (i want to make these soon). and i am really looking forward to their book coming out this spring!
the photography (and blog) of abby try again. i just purchased a print and postcards from her shop. incredible. gorgeous. i am so taken with the way she sees the world through her lens.
photos at ground level. for the last year or so, i have been having fun putting my camera right onto the ground and pressing the shutter. the photo above is the beach in bandon, oregon, looking out toward the ocean. try it some time (and let me know all about it).
hope your weekend is full of much beauty and joy.
(thank you for your positive feedback and encouragement about my video post...i look forward to making another one soon.)
blessings,
liz

Hi Liz, what a lovely post and photo! I must try a ground-level shot sometime soon!

Hi Liz,
So nice to stumble upon your blog through Sacred Life Sundays. Your photos are goregous.
I join with you in great hope and excitement about what is next for our country with President Obama.
Thanks for sharing your art and reflections.

So glad to hear that Jen started a blog....love those ground photos...love them...I have been peeking into the Farm Chicks blog as well....lists are very very good! Love,J xo
I've tried more ground shots lately, because (a) it can make taking self-portraits much easier, and (b) I never bring a tripod when I should, and then I drink too much coffee and a steady shot is impossible. ;-)
Fab beach shot, too!
Ground level shots! Great idea - love your beach picture! Off to check out the Farm Girls Blog....
i love this photo - i want to scoop up those glittery stones.
i don't know the farm chicks blog, it's great, thanks for the linky.
Liz, thanks for all the wonderful links! And for the camera idea as well...gonna go have some fun today.
love this idea and am looking forward to reading all that you share, thank you.
your ocean pebble photo is pure beauty!
hope YOU are having a beautiful weekend dear liz.

I just love this photo with the sand glinting in the sun. The perspective is beautiful. It makes me want to run out and start shooting everything at ground level. : )
Thanks for sharing this assortment of little treasures and I'm looking forward to seeing more notes for the journey.
Hi cutie pie! I always do a little bliss-full sigh when I read your blog. Hope you're doing well. xo
I have really enjoyed my visit to your blog. Notes for the journey is a brilliant idea, I love it. Thanks. I look forward to my next visit for a dose of exactly what I am trying to make a habit, living more mindfully in the present.
