Aww…some Monday (Flea Market Dog Show)

Every now and then I grab my small camera and head to one of several local flea markets/antique malls and photograph some of the objects for sale. I may develop a theme or I may just shoot random objects that capture my interest and imagination. The whole point is to keep the creative juices flowing and sharpen the photography skill with my small camera. It is a small camera when compared to my DSLR camera that I use for sports and major events, but it is a little powerhouse when you consider that I can adapt very nice DSLR lenses to fit on this little Canon M50 mirrorless camera. This week I decided to create a flea market dog show.

It would probably not be a surprise to you is I said the pair of Cocker Spaniels at play is my favorite. Have a blessed week.

Monday’s Music Moves Me

This week at 4M the theme is whatever music moves you. In light of recent events in the news, I believe we could all use a little inspiration. There is a better day coming.

Humming Birds 2.0

Aww…some Monday

It’s late in the season but humming birds have shown up at our feeders the past couple of weeks.

Somehow, you just never think of a humming bird hanging out in a tree, but the love our Red Bud tree that is located only a few feet from the feeders.

Monday’s Music Moves Me

Sometimes a song takes on a life all it’s own. The following song was written by John Denver as a bit of a lament of an entertainer’s life on the road and time spent away from family. However Peter, Paul and Mary recorded the song, during the Vietnam war and it took on a whole new identity as a protest song. When a combat soldier is deployed he/she doesn’t know if they are coming home in a seat or a box. Fortunately, I came home in a seat and only a little worse for wear. Here is Leaving on a Jet Plane.

Some Day Soon!

Aww…some Monday

School days are fast approaching and for some reason a pencil sharpener in a flea market reminded of my school days.

Monday’s Music Moves Me

This is a “Whatever Music Moves You” week at 4M. I am moved by a wide variety of music genres and some days it’s hard to choose which one I want to feature here. I heard a song the other day that I had not heard in years. It prompted me to feature this legendary country artist this week. While Roger Miller wrote and recorded this song originally, Randy Travis recorded the song later and I swear it is a good as the original. Randy didn’t try to create a whole new sound, he just tried to do a classic song justice. Here we go.
