I’ve had a whole lot of living over the past two weeks of work and vacation on the edge of Lake George up in the Adirondacks. The sun sparkled on the water in a shimmer of light, bright white during the daytime, golden hues behind the mountains at night. I shopped for flowers and attended a concert–my first in years! I went to the rodeo, swam in the lake, enjoyed boat rides and flopped down in exhaustion after doing PT. And I worked. With a view of the bay, I had no complaints. There was ice cream and coffee, big puffy clouds and waves.

When I looked over my pictures–all snapshots from my iphone like always– I was struck by the blue that surrounded me: water, skies, concert lights and even my Dad’s shirt on a visit to the rehab hospital. It would appear I was living blue all week.

To edit my photos, I fell back on an old standard: VSCO’s Kodak Gold 100. I chose it because it reminds me of the film I bought on a regular basis before digital took the world by storm, its nostalgia perfect for me.

My life is usually quiet, so all this activity was certainly a change. Like I said, it was a whole lot of living full of work, play, family, responsibility and pretty much every emotion under the sun. But what sticks in my mind are the blues: sky blue, water blue, clothing blue, concert blue and yes, moody blue too.

I hope your snapshots catch all your living–active or calm, blue, green or yellow–to remember for years to come too!

Until next time,
Holly
