Giveaway and a New Project
Finally I made it through all the directions, red tape and my own confusion. Capri Capers will have a giveaway beginning March 12 and ending April 12.
The thing about finishing up one project is that it leaves a void behind. That book occupied so much time, was the focus of so much attention. Now it's gone.
Yes, there are all the marketing ideas to follow up on. But the writing is done.
Nature hates a vacuum. So does a writer's brain.
It isn't that I have no projects sitting on the computer. I have lots. They are ones I want to work on and will work on.
But a new project has that special luster and appeal. Besides, I've been storing away another year's worth of wildflower pictures and wondering what to do with 3000 pictures and counting.
The bottom line is that I really enjoy taking plant pictures. A digital camera lets me indulge this activity. It makes the results so much better than I ever dreamed of.
Finding new wildflowers is so exciting. Spring is starting. The first flowers are opening.
I need a wildflower picture project.
Or rather I needed one.
The challenge: Get pictures of every kind of plant growing in my county.
The objective: Do a two page spread on each one. One page with the botanical info. The other with information about the plant. Both with pictures.
The result: A county flora book (books) and a website
The reality: My list is now about 1500 plants long and counting.
At least I now have lots of excuses for going for walks on the hills, the roads, the conservation areas and the local state park. As if I needed any.
