You who were given a life

The recriminations swarm around sunset
When it was otherwise quiet all the way around
You who were given a life, what did you make of it?
— Forrest Gander

I love this piece of poetry so much. It's so human... the tendency to argue about senseless things while life passes us by. I suspect this photo is too passive for the quote, especially the line I chose to use, but c'est la vie, though I do like the open feeling of both the question and the photo.

This was the first photo I took for last week's Sinful Sunday prompt of "White." It didn't seem quite right so I went with a different one last week. But I love the mix of patterns here. . 

This february photo fest has reignited my love for my photo project but also reminded me how much work it is to take pictures, do all the editing and post every day. I'm trying to think just far enough in the week that I'm prepared for any days I'm really busy but not too far that I can't act spontaneously. I want to actively participate and see what each day brings me.

So thanks Molly, as always, for a chance to participate in Sinful Sunday and this February Photofest particularly. I've pushed myself artistically in ways I never would otherwise. And getting to see everyone else's work every work spurs me onward, so thanks to all you bloggers and photographers out there too.

Speaking of things that inspire, it's the first week of the Smut Marathon and I've decided to participate again. It's an intriguing prompt this week, difficult I thought, with very mixed results, But swing by the opening round, see what you think and then vote.

have a good week everyone XOX

I love the mix of stripes and polka dots, and February Photofest is reigniting my love of posting every day. I'm wondering if I can keep it up when the month is over, even if I don't take a picture.

I've had the same thought. I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself and just enjoy this month of photos but I would love it if I could continue all year

Thank so much Missy! Yours is a page I also love to visit. You have such a talent for clear close up images. I have a much harder time with that kind of photography

I love your bra, I'm a big stripes fan, and a big bra fan. Nice combo and you wear it well, Annie. That is quite a mix, and the last line of the quote is interesting, I don't know how to answer that.

Thank you :) And yes, it's a big question. I like that it makes me think but those thoughts can get very intimidating very quickly...

I always enjoy your photography, so I've been glad to see you posting for the Photofest. I too, like the mixture of patterns in this, as well as textures. But it is the connection between the image and the text that I find most intriguing.

Thank you Jade! This was a hard photo to caption. I'm still mixed about the results
