Day 361: Birthday Kids https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2019/3/day-361-birthday-kids I caught up with these two kids today. Seems like they should still be kids, but they both have birthdays this week and  . . . it seems they are all grown up now. I don't really understand how that has happened since I am still so young! Happy birthday, Jess and Jim.

Day 352: Babies https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2019/3/day-352-babies The baby eagles popped up out of the nest just as the sun popped behind the clouds today. It was the first time I've seen both of them at the same time. There was also a watchful parent (not shown here) on a limb high above them. Well camouflaged, of course.

This is the resident heron I've posted so many photos of before. How do I know it's the same heron? Because I see the red plastic wrapped around his leg. Everytime I see that . . . I see red. Pack your trash, people! On a brighter note, tonight he caught an appetizer while I was eyeing him.

Day 305: Here's My Sign https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2019/1/day-305-heres-my-sign Looks like tomorrow will be the perfect day to give up coffee. This morning I used the last of the coffee in the house. This afternoon, the coffee pot crashed onto the tile floor.

Day 304: Unexpected Kindness https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2019/1/day-304-unexpected-kindness I recently stayed at The Lofts at 517 in Greenville, Mississippi. I left a necklace there. Without prompting, the staff called to ask if a necklace they found belonged to me and agreed to return it. Today, I received my necklace in the mail, carefully wrapped in tissue, protected by two postcards. The lodging was great. The kindness was even better. I'll be back, Greenville.

The preciousness of the time together was foremost in my heart as earlier in the day, I learned an extended family member got the news at 6 am no mother, nobody, can imagine getting. I am so very sorry for that mother's loss. And I am so very thankful for time with my family.

Day 242: Sports https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2018/11/day-242-sports

I've never been an athlete but I see so much good at the events I attend. Today I saw athletes from different backgrounds representing the same team. I saw teams from across the country coming together to compete, but those competitors supporting each other along the way. I saw coaches teaching, parents encouraging and friends celebrating. All great reasons to smile.

That's the truth. And I should leave it at that. But, because Sean of the South is at once inspiring and comforting, because in a very humble, unassuming way his plainspoken stories make me recollect the good and bad of my past and inspire the promise of my future, I feel compelled to say more. But I feel intimidated and inadequate. Kind of like a kid who's just failed the fifth grade. So for now I'll say, thank you, Sean, for giving me hope. I want to be a writer some day, too.

Day 29: In the House https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2018/4/day-29-in-the-house

I started this 365 project for a couple reasons. One was to remind myself to slow down and pay attention to the world around me (#whatcolettesees). The other was to encourage myself to take more photographs, to get out there with my camera not just when I'm working, but for fun. Today I succeeded in the former but not the latter. I didn't take my camera with me on the trail today. When I saw this tiny face peering from the house on the tree, I regretted it. iPhone to the rescue.

This is Kathy, my college roommate. She hasn't changed a bit. Still the organized one. This time she's outdone herself, organizing a reunion of old (young at heart) friends from four states after "a few" years and many miles of separation. What a wonderful gift.

I've been thinking about my sisters today. I am so very thankful for them. This morning I repotted some plants and called Hilda for advice. This afternoon I baked a cake and used Deena's recipe. I didn't do either as well as they could have. I am still sad and sometimes angry that Deena is not still with us, but Hilda and I carry on and I appreciate her every day. They will both always be part of me and a huge blessing. Happy Birthday Deena!

I've been a supporter of Habitat for Humanity for years. I am thankful for the friends who were active volunteers before me and inspired me to get involved. Today I had the privilege of delivering a very generous donation, from a friend who wishes to remain anonymous, for an upcoming home. I am amazed by and proud to be involved with "Habitat people." From the hard working families who earn the home through perseverance and sweat equity, to the dedicated staff and volunteers, to the friends who choose to invest in the future of our community by offering a hand up when they can. Thank you all.

Day 1: A New Season https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2018/3/day-1-a-new-season Day 1A new season, with circles and reflections. Today, after several nudges, I decided this is the best day to start a new project. Celebrating the first day of spring, an inspiring webinar and The Alchemist's lessons of pursuing one's "personal legend" have conspired to convince me to start a 365 photo project. Today's photo was not well planned or executed, but it depicts some cool things, I think. First is dinner celebrating friendship, next is circles (yet another 365 project) last, reflections of blue from a window, depicting the wild blue yonder. Can't wait to see what's out there.

The talent this young man has is amazing. Equally, the focus he has sustained through the two years leading up to his 16th birthday is impressive. This week it was so sweet to see him perform the original songs from his cd, recorded in the famed studios of Alabama’s Shoals region. Congratulations, Brigham Cason!

Finding the Shot of the Day https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2017/4/finding-the-shot-of-the-day Sometimes my favorite shots of the day have little or nothing to do with the assignment I’m shooting. While looking for spot to shoot fishing photos this week, I happened upon this adorable family out for an afternoon stroll and swim.

I always try to look beyond the obvious shot, to look behind me, to check for changing light. Sometimes what I find is refreshing or beautiful or funny or just plain cute. Many times it has nothing to do with the reason I’m there. Or, let me rephrase that. It has nothing to do with the assignment . . . maybe it is the reason I’m there.

Thanks and Awe https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2016/11/thanks-and-awe Even before the absurd amount of food on yesterday’s table, it’s been a thanks- and awe-inspiring year for me. I’m so very thankful for the family and friends who continue to amaze me with their words and deeds, with the commitment, perseverance and goodness they embody and with their constant support of me. I’m also grateful for new and renewed friendships and new adventures this year. Here are some shots from a recent trip to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon. What an amazing world I live in. I am so grateful.

Perspective https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2016/10/perspective Amid the winding roads and splashes of fall color I was trying to find my focus. I went into the weekend thinking about finding broad landscapes through the lens. What I found instead was some perspective. The broad landscapes were beautiful, if not yet filled with fall color. But I found more interest in the smaller vignettes. Subtle shades, bold silhouettes and rippling reflections. Tiny spots of color, quietly sitting still in the middle of a moving stream. These small scenes were the visuals I loved most.

Musical Forces -- And Respect https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2014/6/musical-forces-and-respect  
The Secret Sisters join emcee John Paul White to perform two of Hall of Fame inductee Hank Locklin's songs. 
 
The Alabama Music Hall of Fame Induction Banquet last week was an incredible melding of old and new, of traditional and contemporary. There was a common thread, though. That thread was respect. It was easy to see the respect young artists like John Paul White and the Secret Sisters have for the inductees. 
 
Inductee Candi Staton takes in the moment as she completes her performance
after  being inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame.
 
The inductees, all so very gracious, showed a true appreciation for being honored, for each other and for the many professionals, performers and friends with whom they have shared the good times and the bad of the music business. Many of of the folks they counted as friends were on the stage too, that night, in the all-star band that made everyone sound good!
 
Special recognition was given to the producers of Muscle Shoals, the documentary about the region’s rich music history that’s gained international acclaim. If you haven’t seen it, see it now! It is an amazing compilation of photos, videos and stories. They show the major influence the area and its people have had on the entire music industry; and the respect that industry has for both.

Awesome https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2014/6/awesome
 
I don’t use the word awesome much. Or even amazing. I think they are over used.  Honestly though, it’s probably in part because I’m not paying enough attention. There are amazing things and awesome forces all around this beautiful place I live. Looking through the lens of a camera is helping me see so much more that amazes me, often, right in front of me. It also puts me in a position to see more of those things, getting me out of my routine, piquing my interest in things around me, paying more attention. The other day it gave me a truly AWESOME experience and because of the kindness of a friend (who let me borrow a great lens) I was able to capture it in pictures. I am so grateful.
 
I witnessed a Bald Eagle soaring high above me, circling, and flying to its nest. I know the eagle is an amazing bird. I know the symbolism. But I am here to tell you, this bird was awesome! Even at a distance, the wingspan is obviously massive. The tail and head look pure white. Talons went from being aerodynamically tucked to outstretched and terrifying. Speaking of aerodynamics: awesome! Then as he sat in the nest, he looked so regal, surveying the landscape. I could have stayed all day watching.
 
 
I can’t quite separate the excitement of the sight itself from the excitement of being able to actually get pictures of it. I have no illusions – okay I had illusions for a few seconds – that National Geographic will be calling me, but I can’t stop looking at these pictures and saying “wow,” “amazing” or, yes you guessed it, “awesome.”  It’s not just the pictures. I’ve seen beautiful pictures of eagles in flight before by great photographers. I’ve never experienced the sight before. Now I relive it every time I look at the pictures. Thanks to my photography habit, I was in a place I’d never have been in otherwise. Thanks to a good friend and a lot of luck, I have pictures to show for it and a story to tell. Now I just need a better vocabulary. I think I have officially over used my allotment of  “awesome.”

The Blues Is More Than A Feeling https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2014/6/blues-is-more-than-feeling  

Until recently there was a poster on the wall above my computer here declaring “the blues is a feeling.” I just returned from the land of the Delta Blues and I can say with certainty that, yes, it’s a feeling, but it’s much more than that. 




The Hopson Plantation is the site of the Shack-Up Inn in Clarksdale, Mississippi.

The Shacks all have porches and bear names like "Pinetop" and "Crossroads".

It is a way of life that has been passed down through generations in music and lyrics and stories. The stories range from those of hard labor, hard times and hard drinking to those of the comforts of a Sunday service, a home-cooked meal or a big-legged woman, but together they make up a tapestry of Delta music and Delta lifestyle. Through these stories of how the people of the Delta have survived, it’s clear how its Blues has survived. It’s as integral today as ever, maybe more. It’s everywhere. Museums, art galleries, clubs, lodging – all based on the Blues. In a way it seems odd that the music itself has become the story. But the music does such a powerful job of telling its stories – sharing its feeling – that surely the culture and heritage, the way of life of the Delta will continue to survive through it. 




Bubba Sullivan owns Bubba's Blues Corner  in Helena, Arkansas
and has a story about every piece of memorabilia on the wall.

Based on my visit, I’m sure the stories of these places and people will be preserved for many more generations to come. 


As for that poster that used to be on my wall? I replaced it with one of the  photographs it took recently. One thing the 365 Project (a picture a day for a year) I took on last year forced me to do was to get out and explore more; and to pay attention more; and to experience more. I hope to follow up on that this year with photos and stories of my experiences; of the things I see. With a little luck, maybe they can evoke just a fraction of the feeling those Blues songs do. Maybe I’ll even work my way up to writing some Blues songs of my own . . . .




Po Monkey's in Merigold, Mississippi is legendary.
Wllie Seaberry owns Po Monkey's.
It's still all about the music.
Eric Hughes was performing at
Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi

Day 261: Priorities https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2013/7/day-261-priorities My brother would not be happy that I didn't take and post a picture yesterday. For the last time, I will say to him, "You're not the boss of me!" He was a fan of my daily pictures, so I feel a bit like I'm letting him down. But I need to take a break. He taught me so much throughout my life, but he's never taught me more than he did during the last few weeks of his life. He was an amazing inspiration. I'm so proud of how he and his children faced his illness. This is not at all what I imagined "Seeing 50" would include and it's made me want to take some time out and re-evaluate priorities.

George, I miss you already.

I'll be back.

Day 250: Super Moon https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2013/6/day-250-super-moon

I was up with the early birds this morning. Here's my "Super Moon" from 5:14 a.m. I was hoping to get it with some reflections on the water for some perspective as it set, but with clouds all around that wasn't in the cards. It was definitely worth getting out of bed early and, as always, a challenge to try and do it justice.

My brother is on a baking spree! This is his coffee cake. I also got to test his blueberry crisp. I can happily report that both of these were delicious! I can't comment on the cheesecake. He wouldn't share.

Day 246: New Growth https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2013/6/day-246-new-growth

With the help of my friend Phillip I planted two trees a little over two years ago. They were symbols of hope then. It's nice to see new growth now.

There were so many cardinals in my yard this evening I thought we must be electing another pope! I couldn't get a clear shot through my dirty windows at dusk and was too lazy to go outside and shoot it correctly. I'll try to do better tomorrow.

Day 235: Generations https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2013/6/day-235-generations  
 

Emalie, Hannah, John and Eli spent the day playing together in the water and on the piers. We were at the bay where there great grandparents bought lots next to each other decades ago. Since then their grandparents (my generation) and their parents spent many a day the same way. It's good to see that some family traditions are finding their way to new generations.

Day 233: Osprey Spree https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2013/6/day-233-osprey-spree

This afternoon in Gulf State Park Park I witnessed an amazing "collection" of osprey in nests and nearby trees. I saw three perched in one tree. I saw three in a nest. I saw another flying around with a fish. He landed in a distant tree, aparently not wanting to share his dinner. While this shot doesn't relay any of that action, the light on this particular bird made it my favorite shot of the day.

Day 227: Hanging Out with a Legend https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2013/5/day-227-hanging-out-with-legend
 
Want to be impressed? Here are some "Selected Sessions" the legendary guitar player Reggie Young has recorded:
 
  • Elvis Presley - "Suspicious Minds," "Kentucky Rain," "In the Ghetto," "Don't Cry Daddy," and "I've Got A Thing About You Baby"
  • J.J. Cale - "Cajun Moon" and "Cocaine"
  • Dusty Springfield- "Son of a Preacher Man"
  • The Box Tops - "The Letter", "Cry Like a Baby"
  • Dobie Gray - "Drift Away"
  • The Highwaymen - "Highwayman" and "Desperados Waiting For A Train"
  • Willie Nelson - "Always On My Mind"
  • B.J. Thomas - "Hooked On A Feeling" "Hey, Won't You Play Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song"
  • Neil Diamond - "Sweet Caroline"

Today I was lucky enough to spend time with Reggie and his beautiful wife Jenny. I also got to see him graciously interact with up and coming star Jackson Nance. It was so much fun to see the appreciation, admiration and respect young Jackson has for this legend. I'm a fan of them both.

Day 1: Hello 50 https://coletteboehm.com/blog/2012/10/day-1-hello-50

Today starts a new year for me. My 50th. I'm so grateful for the family and friends who have gotten me this far and the amazing blessings I've been given. Every year at this time I find myself saying, "There is so much more to see and do out there!" I've decided to try this photo-a-day thing again because photography truly helps me engage with and appreciate more the people and the environment around me. I don't want to let this year pass me by!

I started the day at the beach this morning and while the picture I've chosen feels like a bit of a cliche, it's a scene that just never gets old for me and always makes me hopeful. I think that's an appropriate way to start.
