Day 138.   Since I don't paint, I thought that it would be fun to take a picture of a bowl of fruit.  So I did.  Tangerines, apples, and bananas, oh my.  The bowl is an Hazel Atlas depression glass batter bowl.  I didn't know that when I got it out of the cabinet.  I just knew that it belonged to my Granny.  After closer inspection I saw the Hazel Atlas symbol on the bottom and started searching the web.  It is amazing what you can find out with just a little investigation.  The bowl works well for the picture.  As I was transferring the pictures from my camera to the computer, Dugan asked me "Dad, when you were you young, did you ever think about being a professional photographer?"  I said no, and he asked why.  I had to think about it.  I don't know why.  I've always liked to take pictures.  I never considered it as an option though.  I do know that God has always had a plan for me, and now it includes taking pictures.  I am far from being a professional, but with some help and a lot of encouragement from family and a great teacher, I am getting better.  Maybe someday God's plan will lead me to learn painting, then I will paint a bowl of fruit.  And I will use the same bowl.
