i've been on the run for two days and will probably be on the run for a while as the workgroups gear up for a may 1st deadline. when i'm herding over 100 cats from group to group, i have to laugh at the questions i get (and the answers i can only say in my head). where do i park? (a parking space is generally good) do i have to feed the meters (well, depends - do you like parking tickets?) my name is not on the list (because you actually signed up for another group, not this one) you get my drift. so my photography has been mostly limited to quick morning shots with my sweet window light. (hope you're not tired of it anytime soon) i had a thought on the tip of my tongue but it suddenly slipped away. hate it when that happens. i'm sure i will remember it about 3:00 in the morning. i apologize for the lack of line spacing but blogger has decided if i hit return that it wants to put a 2-3 inch gap in the post. weird. i'm using the 'new, improved' editor but it still seems to have some kinks. so....the weekend was good, the meetings are going well (in spite of the silly kinks and questions). i'm flying to dc on sunday for meetings all day monday and tuesday and flying back tuesday night. i have to lug the laptop so i suspect my dslr will get left behind. these are the days you love an iphone. hopefully the snow will let up before i arrive (otherwise it's dinner in the hotel). how i wish it was cherry blossom time so i could see that just once in person.
sweet dreams....
Well, at least you're managing to take a photo in the morning! There's been too many last minute photos literally at almost midnight) for me!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh...you have many plates spinning. Enjoy the ride and keep taking those gorgeous morning photos... :)
ReplyDeleteAt least you're taking photos..if I'm busy my camera is forgotten...I love your shot..so peaceful and sweet...

ReplyDeleteWow, Char! You sound indispensable already! But we already knew you were! :)

I for one enjoy your morning light,Char.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had some ;)

ReplyDeleteWhen you come to DC, you can borrow my DSLR...make sure you bring your snow boots, though - looks like it's going to be a whopper. If you get stuck, feel free to email me - I'll bring you some dinner!
Never tire of your morning-lit photographs, simply beautiful. Enjoy your trip, sounds like a whole latte fun :)
ReplyDeleteoh lord....we would have so much fun working together, since I'm like you, wanting to answer those stupid questions just the way you said them....and then turning my head as to not crack up as I say something kind instead !!
ReplyDeleteand hey....you working, me in the snow and cold...cripes, my camera is feeling a bit left out, too !

My sis lives in DC and has been telling me to come for cherry blossom season for the last 25++ years. Haven't been able to go once - I'm always a week early or a week late! THIS year!
ReplyDeleteNow, back to herding those cats!
I had to laugh at your answers..! And I could never tire of your lovely photos, Char. I hope you have fun in DC... We lived there for a long time. It's a cool town - just brace yourself for traffic, if you're going to be driving. I hope not.

ReplyDeleteWow, you are busy. It sounds like your mind is going all the time. Hope you get some time to relax.
ReplyDeleteLove the light from your window. I like the way it shows all the old spots on the glass. It is the bane of my life, that I don't have one good picture takin window in my house!
Sounds like a bit of a hectic time for you char, but I think it's great that you're so busy. Enjoy DC, hope you get to see Obama!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you do it all.

ReplyDeleteI hate it when Blogger misbehaves :0!
ReplyDeleteAh, well you need to come back for it, then and make a day of it.
ReplyDeleteSafe journeys to you. I know I've wished that before but sometimes I get in the habit of repeating myself!
Blogger makes my line spaces huge to. I understand how annoying it is. I have reverted to HTML code for creating line spaces.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful soft window light you have...this photo is simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWishing you well on your travels.
