Day 4927: National Camera Day

Today is National Camera Day!

.

What better way to celebrate National Camera Day than to share the images I’ve recently captured on my smartphone?

.

What better way to celebrate National Camera Day than to share these Mel Brooks scenes captured on camera?

.

How about this tribute that includes Mel Brooks himself?

.

Now I have to get my camera ready for a ferry ride into Boston, where I hope to see my friend Diane (appearing on camera in two photos above).

Thanks to all who helped me create this National Camera Day post, including YOU!

Day 4563: I have questions

In case you haven’t noticed, I have questions.

Today, I have questions about many things, including, What is happening to my country? Why haven’t several people gotten back to me, including the guy who recorded my two songs at yesterday’s protest? Why is Harley our cat puking so much? Why aren’t more people puking about the current USA administration? What can I do to make things better?

I have questions, as you can see in my images for today.

.

I have questions, including what is Leap Second Time Adjustment Day?

.

Here’s the kind of song I write when I have questions:

.

I have questions about whether clicking on this link will show you the local news report about yesterday’s rally.

Do you have questions about this I-have-questions post?

Thanks to all who pay attention to my questions, including YOU!

Day 4506: Very good signs

I’m always looking for very good signs. Here are some I saw yesterday.

.

It’s a very good sign that so many people are coming out for demonstrations in the USA. Also, it’s a very good sign that my music producer Riccardo is putting together good audio versions of my original songs, including the protest song “You Don’t Scare Me.”

.

It’s a very good sign that there are so many very good people in the world, including YOU!

Day 2155: Try me

Let’s try on this definition of “Try me” from The Free Dictionary:

Try me

Also found in: Wikipedia.

Try me.
Ask me.; Give me a chance.

A: I don’t suppose you know what the Achaean League is. B: Try me.

I don’t suppose you know what the Achaean League is, because I don’t either.  However, ask me and give me a chance to show you why I’ve chosen “Try me” for today’s post title.

I didn’t try that moisturizer at MiAlisa Salon yesterday, but I did try to take other photos, which involved trying things.

I tried on some new socks and leggings yesterday morning, despite reading an online article, “What Middle Aged Women Should Not Wear” which included patterned socks and leggings. Try as I might, I can’t find that article today. Also, I’m past middle age, so maybe it’s not so bad if I keep trying those things. However, that combination might be particularly trying.

There’s my friend Deb, trying to pick up leaves in her back yard. Do you want more information about those yellow leaf-picker-uppers?  Try me.  If I don’t know, I can always try to ask Deb.

Here are other images I tried to capture yesterday:

I enjoy images that show people trying new things, including crafts like mosaic quilting and flameworking. If you’re trying too hard to read some of those pictures, try clicking on them to make them larger.

Do you know what season it is around here?  Try me.

As I try to finish up today’s blog post, I’m going to try to share what else is on my mind.  I do want people to try me — to ask me and give me a chance.   I try to convey that as best as I can.  Sometimes I might try too hard and perhaps people find that trying. Also, I can find it trying, sometimes, to try to ask others for what I need.

Do you have questions about all this?  Try me.

Here‘s “Try Me” by James Brown.

 

Do you want to know how much gratitude I have for all those who helped me create today’s blog post and for you?  Try me.

Day 1636: Like to shine

I like to shine. Do you?  

Like to shine a light on these lyrics, shining through my head:

Like to shine like the sun for one more summer day.

Like to shine like a lighthouse for one last summer night.

Like to shine a guess about what song that is?

Before I shine a light on the answer, like to shine like a camera for some more summer sights.

“Be the lighthouse” spreads the light on my lyrical question.

I’ll likely see Fenway Park’s lights shine on James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt one summer night.

Like to shine in a comment?  Be the lighthouse and spread your light below.

Like to shine my thanks on  James Taylor, Yogi Tea, Tony’s Clam Shop, artists everywhere,  the sun, the sea, and you — of course! —  for being the lighthouse, here and now.
