...I dropped off a couple rolls of color film to the lab, then headed over to the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden . It was unusually warm, but pleasant. While autumn wasn't showing in full force, there were still some nicely coloring trees and as you can see, they were getting in their spring bulbs. Which reminds me...I've got to get some bulbs to put in...and peony roots too!
It was a nice time. I shot a roll of color Portra160 in the Holga and managed to get quite a few digital images that pleased me.
Today, it's raining and I'm scanning 365 negatives. It's a good rainy day activity. Rainy days make me nostalgic, though, so I'm feeling a little sad. I've been making the effort to be more *here*, pulling myself into this new life and letting go of my attachment to the old. Not easy stuff, but necessary. I've had a habit of checking the bay area cams (there's an awesome one up at Lawrence Hall of Science) every day...but that's got to stop for a while. I've yet to find the balance between a healthy connection to my old life and being fully committed to this new experience. So, I allow myself some tears and look around me, right in this moment. I do love the sound of the rain.
