Today is a GRAND day!! It’s my birthday, actually. My birthday present to myself 3 years ago was to buy my first digital camera. It is not a phone; it is a Canon. I do not upload ‘apps’ on my flip phone; I talk or text. Therefore, I do not have a Mesh gallery. I have been using the WordPress gallery display for almost all of my photo challenge posts, and I like how it looks.
A grand day is a day of living in the moment; a day of real, physical interaction with living things. I have lots of those days, and sometimes, I have my camera with me. It groups all the photos I took in a single day together, so I do have chronological records. I admit, though, it takes a long time to download, edit, and upload them into WordPress to post them in a blog. I do not hate technology, but I do want to be very careful and aware of how I use it and how much I use it.
So, what does it mean to ‘share’ a day? My definition will always include being present and only tangentially include technological media. That said, here is a gallery of photos from a very grand day that I shared with my family 3 months ago. My brother’s wedding day:
Today Was a Good Day

VAL!!!! Oh, this is a birthday gift! Thank you for finding me. 🙂 Gonna switch over to e-mail so I can ask you all kinds of catching-up questions…
Happy birthday, first of all. Second, your day looks absolutely wonderful. And third, I don’t have a Mesh gallery, either, although I do take massive amounts of photos with my phone. I also like to take my Nikon along and I try to minimize technology in my life or at least control it as much as possible. 🙂

It’s good to stay aware of that. Encroaching can become ‘taking over’ too quickly!
So true. Blogging can get to be the same way. 🙂
