adjusting

In the series 'where is Vera when you need her', I am posting some pictures that definitely did not turn out the way I had envisioned, because of my complete lack of understanding of photography. I take pictures like I do many things in life - without reading the manual (or caring about it).

Beautiful skies last night. But really hard to capture...

In my new job, being flexible and adaptable is key, since we are designing, adjusting, learning, making mistakes, tweaking, discussing, reading, doing, learning some more, changing some more, etc as we go. I love it, especially that we are writing the manual  on the fly but at a very high and academic level of precision.

I love the winter silhouettes of the trees against any sky.

At home I am trying to find some downtime to process and relax, but I find the evenings quite short (home late, cooking from scratch, fitting in exercising) (fun fact: I always have to use spell check to correct the spelling of exercising, always, of course that is my unconscious messing it up since I dislike the verb so much) - anyway, not that I want to complain, just similar to what everyone else feels, that there is not enough time.

Not enough time, but luckily I do feel that my work matters. I'm going to close this post with a not at all (just a little bit) random picture, close up of a selfie (I edited my brother and sister-in-law out of it, not that I don't love them, but ... got to go for the cutest family member) of my sweet niece Lisa. I miss you, and your cousin too!
