Postcard from Julie

I have dozens hundreds of postcards waiting to be scanned for The Postcard Project. I can’t believe I’ve neglected it like this. Every time a postcard comes in the mail, Bleu gets excited. The fact that I haven’t scanned and posted your cards in no way diminishes his joy. Thank you to everyone who has sent in a card [especially Julie, a repeat offender!]. I will try to get caught up once school is out. This postcard came in the mail yesterday. Perfect timing!

Michelle mentioned wildfires in a comment and at the time I hadn’t heard anything. It turns out there is a fire. It has burned over 5,000 acres in the mountains near Ruidoso. Maybe that’s why our sky has been so hazy lately? We took a ride that way on Sunday and saw the activity. The Mescalaro Community Center had large white tents set up as the headquarters and lots of smaller tents dotted the grounds. They were even selling Tularosa Canyon Fire t-shirts at the gate!

The Alphabet Project’s theme for the letter C:

“Interpret freely in picture(s) the word ‘chaos’.” Christophe Maout

This challenge gave me a bit of trouble. My original plan was to use a picture of the kids because when I think of our family, I think CHAOS. Unfortunately, kid chaos doesn’t always translate well in photos. They all came out looking sloppy [the pictures, not the kids] and not right for the project. I ended up using a double exposure that I took in T or C.

I’ve started a page to keep track of my progress and included a link at the bottom of the page. If you have missed previous challenges, catch up here!
