Explore Class -- Observation

Prompt 6 is all about observing the things around that you never seem to really see. All the inanimate objects that we use every day and are taken for granted. So I have been taking photos of these things. I imagine I'll look back on them in future years and wonder why I took these particular photos. However, they are part of my life now and should be recorded as such.

I've had that bed quilt for years. It should probably be replaced but it is so comfortable to sleep under. To prolong its life, I keep on patching the seams back together whenever they rip and show signs of wear.

The computer station is old but the computer itself is fairly new--as is the printer. These can stay around for a few more years (I hope!) It's amazing how much time I spend at the computer--reading emails, checking out favorite blogs, writing short stories, doing research, etc. I bet I spend more time at my computer now that I am retired than I did when I was still working.

The chair. I hadn't realized how shabby it is getting until I took the photo. I suppose that is going to be replaced soon. I watch TV in this chair, read, knit, and do crossword puzzles. The chair is a swivel and is low to the ground so my feet actually touch the floor. That's a problem short people have...our feet often swing in the air instead of being in contact with the floor.

I did take lots more photos of things around but these three are a good representation. Next time, I'll try to have people in the photos!
