I don’t have a finished object for you; I don’t have any epiphanies to report. Sometimes words and ideas can be a struggle. A thought pops into my head and I think to myself “Is it blog-worthy?” I capture an object or a flower through my lens and I ask myself “Is it blog-worthy?”
I can understand why some of the more established bloggers lament that sometimes their blog overtakes them, everything becomes about the blog, and they begin to run out of words to express themselves. There are times when we don’t really have anything to say. I have always liked to write – I make my living with it. My blog started out with writing; however, blogging slowly evolved in me a desire to express myself through images as well.
And so, there is no knitting in this post, however there is an image taken with my new camera. I am so excited with this new acquisition and can’t wait to explore the visual opportunities that it opens up. It is my first digital SLR – I don’t know how to use it yet – but it will be a journey. The yarn above, captured through the lens, is the fabulous Regal Silk from Art Yarns - most definitely blog-worthy!!

Those photos are really beautiful - obviously making good use of your new camera
I too have the 'what shall I blog about' moments - I'm always working on lots of wips so fos can be few and far between sometimes - I just try and stick to writing whatever I want - it's your blog and a very enjoyable one it is too
Lovely picturs! Come on, spill, what camera is it?
Beautiful pictures, they complement each other so nicely :)
Your photos are gorgeous! Regarding blogging, why force it? I'm in a similar mood lately...
ooh, a new camera is so much fun! i love electronic gadgets!
love the photos! I really want to get a digital slr - what brand did you get?
I'm in a similar mood too with my blog - plus time has been an issue as you know!
a new camera... wow, i understand you, i bought my new one sonc eone month more or less, it's my new toy... and i enjoy so much....
ooo! jealous...what kind of camera? you seem to bonding well with it. :)
i know that 'what the heck to write about' feeling very well. i enjoy reading whatever you have to offer. it's nice to get other people's perspectives on what is happening in their neck of the woods.
No one ever said that every post in a knitter's blog should be about knitting. :)
Good luck with the new camera. I love the photos. :D
Once you've moved into the DSLRs, I don't think you'll ever really go back. I didn't. (Still have a little point and shoot, but it's not nearly as fun to play with as the SLR!)
lovely yarn indeed - blog about whatever you want, I say!
Great photos!
For me, beautiful photos are always blog-worthy...you have an eye for great composition with what you capture...so I say never hesitate to throw one up if you run out of 'words'!
and wow...the colors in that yarn!
Congratulations on your digital SLR! I love that your blogged image is of a silky yarn cake :-) (I love taking photos of yarn, obviously).
And you know, I could easily have written your first paragraph because it mirrors how I feel when I pause to blog. Ultimately, if you're excited about something and it makes you smile or stirs you in some way, it is most assuredly blog-worthy.
Beautiful picture. I just blog about anything knittish, crafty or nice!!!
I can relate. There were too many words in my life, and not enough images, so I created my blog to satisfy my visual urges!
