Southern stingray----Belize

I was so excited to find this photo. I was fortunate enough to spend some time at the Hol Chan Marine Reserve in Belize a few years ago. Swimming along with these amazing creatures is something very difficult to put into words. They are graceful, and when you touch them, they feel like velvet. The current there is very strong, and the swim was challenging, especially since there had just been a storm. I will never forget this adventure, and would like to return.

Thing #7

I have finally purchased a digital camera. Hooray! While I liked my old camera just fine, and it did take great pictures, I decided I would like to try some new technology. I look forward to having a great deal of fun.

Things #5 and #6

Flickr was totally new to me, and quite exciting. I looked at many incredible photos. It is amazing how much you can learn to do. While mappr was of interest to me, I particularly liked being able to find photos in Flickr, that match a specific color using Flickr color picker.

Week 2 Blogging

Well, this is a whole new experience, and I like it--- a lot. I look forward to learning more.

Week one Things 1and2

I learned about the program, and picked up on some pointers from life long learners. Looks like it's time to fasten the seatbelts for the ride.

7&1/2 Habits

I am actually pretty good at goal setting. I like to formulate a plan, write it down, figure out the whys and hows, and set a time frame to achieve the goal. The problem is, sometimes the curve balls of life pop up. I already know first hand that challenges make us stronger, and have learned how to work through, and around them. The thing is, to know the curve balls will keep coming, but to keep on moving forward anyway.

I love to play. As long as I know play awaits at the end of the day, I am good to go. Play for me involves relationships, shared experiences, and lots of laughter.
