Pictures for Pam, Day 69: Lovely Light on Lemon
(+3 insets!)
Ugh…so tired…
My ever-cheerful feathery alarm started going off this morning with a happy "PEEP!" and blearily I reached over to grab my clock…"Please say 5:30…please say 5:30…" I blinked and hoped what I saw was wrong: 6:55. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! *whimper*
I had the worst time sleeping last night, and it all had to do with photography. Specifically the next theme for Macro Monday, which is "Perfume Bottle." See, I don't wear perfume. I don't mind a slight hint of something natural smelling like vanilla, but that's about it. Thus, I don't have anything like that in my house. When I went to sleep last night, I couldn't stop thinking about where I'd get a bottle…Dollar store?...Thrift store?...Garage Sale?...Heck, any store would do, it's the bottle that I want so I should find something easily.
Then I was thinking about alternatives. Couldn't I use any bottle and fill it with my own perfume recipe? Technically that would be a perfume bottle! Ooooooh…don't we have some super cool crystal salt and pepper shakers? What a neat idea! I wonder what box they are in…hmmm… I wandered around our garage in my mind, mentally opening boxes and peering inside.
Then I began thinking about the concept of creating my own perfume…it could be any color…it could be sparkly…maybe the bottle could have something in there too like marbles or something…
I lay awake for what seemed like all night thinking about all the possibilities…there were so many interesting ideas to consider…
When I tried to shut my mind down, I'd soon begin thinking about another part of the challenge…oh dear…
"PEEP-PEEP!" and "BURBLE-BURBLE-BURBLE!" I pictured Pumpkin cheeping with her eyes closed, her darling little body vibrating with every sound and I couldn't help but smile and drag myself out of bed.
"Good morning little girl! Oh how I love you!"
And so the day began! As it happened, I wasn't as exhausted as I thought I'd be, hooray! I've spent the morning and afternoon appreciating photography from my wonderful and talented contacts and anyone who's left me a comment on my picture from yesterday. How nice. And Steve's coming along with the deck project so it's been a super day for both of us!
Today's picture is finally back on track, and it's from our trip down south to San Anselmo. Nathalie has a couple of lemon trees and I couldn't resist the beautiful light on them. I am sharing another inset too!
(I'm also including two morning panoramas from the other day showing the lovely light as the sun comes over the hill. You'll see the dramatic change as the sun rises! Also, you'll see our gigantic relic of a bulldozer in our field...it's a many-ton lawn ornament at the moment as it doesn't run!)
Pam, I sure do hope that you're able to get a good night's sleep. I have often had trouble with this, unlike my husband who can look at the bed and fall asleep. It's always taken me time to relax and drift off, no matter the methods I've used. Some work better than others, some don't work after a while, some have never worked! What about you? Are you an "easy sleeper"? I sure hope so. All of us need as much rest as we can get, the healing powers are so important! Thinking of you every day my dear!!

Best wishes.. from David J'... UK.
I can fully empathise with your story too. I have a real problem with getting to sleep. I lie there for hours.Once I go off I can sleep and sleep but have to awaken and
drag myself up exhausted. It's a regular problem for me.
I DO NOT SLEEP AT ALL WELL.... EVEN AFTER MELATONIN AND L-THRANINE. EVEN AS A BABY I DID NOT SLEEP.
TO MORROW IS THE BRAIN SURGEON APPOINTMENT. SO NO SLEEP TONIGHT.
THST BEAITIFUL LEMON.. I CAN IMAGINE DELICIOUZS LEMON CURD.
I try to find something from the second hand store (flee market).
Once again wonderful series! And yes, your idea to make your own perfume is great! And lemon is great choice for the main ingredient: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!" =D
Your notes, your comment: Yes, Pod Sister, you did it again, Your reached out and touched my heart! Thank you.
quelle belle idée Janet avec cet hiver un peu bizarre çà fait un grand bien !!! le fruit est merveilleux et si bon, il suffit de tendre la main et se servir... (lol), merciiiiiiii !++++++++++
for this picture very vitamin
and more without wanting to flatter you
the photo is simple but then very beautiful
to new bravO ..
good night
my dear admirer
I love your lemon shot and the PiP's are once again so beautiful!!!
I'm really impressed by your photographic memory - I do not even know whether I have boxes in my garage, not to mention what's inside ;-)))
fine pic, but most of all I like the right inset.
Enjoyed you narrative and the pips, Sleep tight.
Just quick comments tonight as I'm running late (it's nearly midnight) and I need my beauty sleep!
As for the landscape pictures - what an incredible land you have. The view across towards the mountains is fantastic. Now the mombretia would grow very well here. Something to think about.
