Where’s my focus? and a few butterflies
Lately it seems I cannot get myself focused on doing any of my work personal artwork. I’m getting the business work done, but not my own work. I always get crabby and punchy when that happens, and I am currently quite a bit of both. It seems I can’t even get a blog post up. The deadline for Quilt National is looming, and it’s becoming very clear that I will not have anything finished to enter. I’m trying not to beat myself up over it, yet I find myself beating myself up over it. Dumb, I know. Focus, focus. What happened to my focus?
The only personal thing I’ve managed to do in the past 10 days was take some butterfly pictures. Generally by this time of year I have hundreds that I like. Not this year. I’ve just a hand full. Here is the most recent handful:
This was one of those rare times that while focusing on one butterfly another came fluttering along and for a brief moment landed. Amazing I actually got this shot in focus before it quickly took off.
Yes, I know, after a while they all start to look the same. Sometimes I find myself more intrigued with how the backgrounds look.

Gloria, you may not have had time to take many photos, but what you taken are just wonderful. I particularly like backgrounds 1 and 4!

!Ay! The doldrums are spreading! Yesterday one of our patients flounced into the office and declared that, astrologically speaking, the “thwart” we’ve been in all summer is over and things are going to start happening now. I’m going with that.
