hello to you & 2019!

Hello! It's been months since I posted a blip. 
It's been FOUR months, in fact! I enjoy blipfoto too much to leave it entirely . . . so I've thought about it and decided to post our 'happy new years day' fire that Steve & I had today :o) It has been a bit cold (for Florida) lately and we have been having quite a few fires out under our pergola. Cold here means 45F-65F! And lately, even though it has warmed up a bit, we still enjoy having a fire while sitting outside (see extra).

I aim to be actively posting here again, but I am not thinking of posting everyday at this point. I am going to ease into it, not put too much pressure on myself and just enjoy! I'm still quite active with my mixed media art, participating in challenges & taking classes and learning. I just completed my first ever 365 art project called 365 somethings 2018, wow! You can see all that I made as well as a couple quick videos here, on my website. Doing this creative work keeps me sane & happy, so much so that I am going to do another 365 art project this year :o).

I have just started reading A Year with my camera by Emma Davies and plan to start this as well . . . so hopefully you will see some of my homework here. Fingers crossed! The photo here was taken with my Google Pixel 2 XL, but I also have a Nikon Coolpix B700 I would like to learn more about!! 

Thanks for coming by - yours, lenna
p.s. I have missed you!
