  3. Your Fun Foto Challenge brought me here after I was browsing for some blog photography challenges on WordPress and I’m very happy to have come across someone like you.

  4. Hi! I just wanted to thank you for liking my post! Now that I got a look at your blog, I love your photos. I mean, I attempt to snap pics now and then myself, but I’m a novice compared to your crisp and vibrant photos. I’m very impressed about your great resiliency to be the best photographer you can be. Keep up the good work!

  5. Hello Cee, I’ve seen reference to your photo challenges on some other blogs I follow, so it is so nice to finally come across your site. You take great photos. I’m a T1D and INFP too. Now that must be a fairly rare combination, haha. I also have a friend who thinks I should take up Qigong, but I am still resisting. It’s a time thing. 🙂 I’m just a happy snapper with my little phone. I like to look for an interesting angle and collect photos to use as a basis for my mosaic art. I look forward to seeing more of your photos. Thank you.

  7. Hi I have just started blogging on my sisters two sites. I was exploring and found the word “challenge” I thought what fun and asked her about it. She pointed me in your direction. In the past I had horrible luck with cameras and one nearly went in the ocean. I actually gave up on them and photography went in the too hard basket. I eventually got a point and shoot camera which I keep on auto. I enjoy using it and it is small enough to go in my bag or pocket. I found I can still take some nice photos with it and it has given me some confidence. Your challenges along with my sister’s blog has got me interested in this hobby again. You are right in what you say. The main thing is to have fun and enjoy yourself.

    • Thanks so very much for popping by. I’m so happy you are getting back into photography. Just have fun. Try taking photos of everything you see. The more photos you take the better your eye will get and it won’t seem to complicated. I used Auto for a lot of years and still do on occasion if I don’t want to think about what settings to use for this photo. Cameras a pretty intuitive for the most part. I would love to have you play in some of my challenges. I look forward to seeing some of your work.

  10. Wow, I must confess that this is the first time I have read “About Cee”, in full, and I am truly amazed by your encounter with Lyme’s disease, and your recovery, albeit on going. No sure about the time span, you made reference 2014, so if I am right that’s 2 years gone, and my hope is that your recovery has progressed for the good. Long may you continue to host all the challenges, best wishes, take care,

  13. That’s quite the story Cee. I must say i can’t shake the thought that i know this story. Not this exact same story you share here, but i do recognize the outskirts of the ‘traditional’ healer story. Is there a traditional story anyway? Anyway, what it reminded me of goes something like this:
    First you have to go through a personal ordeal, a personal episode of deep and prolonged suffering from which you are healed. And from then on you are fit to start sharing the gift of this personal Odyssey in the shape of healing others.
    Don’t know if this resonates with you. And i don’t want to downtalk what you went through as it must have been quite the ride. I’m only happy that by the help of the Master Qigong healer you came through and are able to share your story and start a new journey as well 🙂

    Thanks for the follow up and nice to see you in the One photo focus too. This time was my first, fun to do 🙂

    Kind regards (another INFP i guess)

  48. (The following was written as a comment on Chris Donner’s blog 61 Musings http://wp.me/p4376G-hc.but I wanted to share it with others who might not visit there.) I have never been a member of a club. My personal motto is, and has always been, “I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.” (attributed to Groucho Marx). [This blog] feels a lot like a club, but one I don’t mind belonging to, one whose members respect my quirks, my stubbornness my spontaneity (OK, rare, perhaps, but when I get a mind to do something nobody better say I can’t). Is that last one a universal trait of introverts? I’m not sure. But it’s one of mine, Right now I have an urge to join another club- one I’m sure already has quite a few members even if they don”t realize it. The Donner-Neuner Club, led by two wonderful women who help me (and probably a lot of others) realize my potential with their outlook and their support- both artistically and personally. But I refuse to stand up in front of the room and say “Hi, I’m Emilio. I’m an introvert”. Too much like AA!

    • I actually have been following you. I am unfollowing/following again everyone. I used to use email before and I have just discovered how the ease of WP reader. That is the easiest way for me to fix it the way I want. It was good to see some Abraham/Hicks from you.

  79. I feel for your brother…and your entire family for I know how Lymes drains everyone around. I’m glad you have a new camera and I hope you have a lot of fun just playing with it and have fun. Take lots of photos of anything you can dream of. Memory is cheap and you will develop your own style and eye for photography.

  80. Cee, thanks for visiting and following my blog. I’m sorry to hear about your Lyme Disease. My older brother suffered similarly and it took them years to diagnose him. In the meantime, he has a lot of damage from it, so I really feel for you. But on a cheery note, I love your blog and photos. Now that I’m starting to learn about my new Christmas camera (Nikon D3200), I hope to participate in more of your challenges! It really makes photography fun and it will keep me learning. Your area where you live sounds wonderful. I’m just a person who needs the sunshine, ergo Florida. But I really miss more greenery. Oh, dear, I haven’t found Utopia yet! Wishing you a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year! 🙂

  81. I have been following Rainbow Bakery and I thought you were the same person. I am relatively new to WordPress and just trying to figure it out. I guess I saw your posts on her blog. I am going to follow yours for sure. I like photography as well, and I like the fact that you don’t spend a huge amount of time post processing. I was thinking of getting Aperture myself.

    • If you don’t do a lot of post processing for (example change backgrounds, colors of objects in your photos) you will adore Aperture. I usually spend less than 2 minutes fixing up my stuff. Thanks so much for stopping by. I just found you as well.

  82. Finally decided to “follow” you since I saw so many references to your photo challenges. Sorry to hear about your Lyme Disease – have you read anything by Stephen Buehner on his Lyme control protocols? He is a plant whiz and has impressive plant healing knowledge; published about 18 books or so…

  83. Hello! Gemma just informed that you live in Oregon. We are looking to move there after our house sells. I have been looking online for houses in various communities. I look for quaint and quiet… I will have to look up Canby. We have four cats. Our tabby is Riley. She is the youngest and a real cutie..

    • Hi Roberta,
      Gemma is a sweetheart. Canby is south of Portland so you are out of the big city mentality. We are a self-sustaining city of around 15,000. The older areas are very quiet and quaint, which is actually most of the city. The weather here is slightly warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer because we are in a part called the Willamette Valley. There are tons of plant and flower nurseries and tree farms all around. The Willamette Valley is also know for it’s wine industry. So if wine is your thing you would have a lot of fun. We also grow hops (for beer) here and hazelnuts. It’s beautiful. I love it.
