It's NaBloPoMo -National Blog Posting
Month, which follows the tradition of NaNoWriMo, National Novel
Writing Month. The latter is an event in which people commit to write a
novel, 50,000 words in 30 days time. That is a LOT of work, but an
effective way to establish a good daily writing practice if one does
not already have one. I am not a novelist, but have thought in
the past couple years of doing some sort of writing practice in
November. I happened to come across info about Blog Posting Month,
and well, here I am.
Just came across NaPhoPoMo, National
Photo Posting Month! Some people are posting photographs every day
during November. I have been doing that, putting a photo with most of
these blog posts, not even aware that it was a thing. Most of these
photos are one I have taken in the past, but a few are current, taken
the day of the posting or one day before.
So without realizing it, I have been
“killing two birds with one stone”, so to speak, posting a short written blog and
photos every day. Thank you for reading my posts, and I hope you
enjoy the photos too. My nature photos are depictions of beauty,
sometimes a glimpse of something lovely in the ordinary. I believe
that one aspect of God is beauty, seen in the midst of the ordinary.
As when we see a colorful sunset or sunrise. The light of the full
moon in a clear night sky. Or when the colors of a Maple or Oak tree
in autumn are brilliant in the midst of evergreens. Or the flashing
red feathers of Cardinal against the backdrop of snow. The glimmer or
raindrops on a new leaf in spring. I pray that when I post a photo or
two on my blog or on Facebook, or show them to friends, that people
are seeing a glimpse of the glory of God's creation.
Happy writing, blog, or photo posting
month, or just happy November to you. And again, thank you for
following my blog.
