I sometimes wonder why I take some pics. Like the one of a potato chip above, or the snails below.

Or the mushrooms, next.

I even find myself taking pictures of odd grocery items, or pricing — good idea when the egg prices went way up and then dropped down. At the same time I often take pictures of wildlife and scenery and other normal things. It helps that I have a digital i-Phone camera instead of years past having to take the camera roll to a store to have prints processed and then find out half of them were fuzzy or have a finger in the frame. Now if they are bad I can see it right away and delete.

I even have bizarre ones that for some reason I keep, like the one below. Though I do have to remind myself to trim down and eliminate the duplicates.

The camera feature was the best thing when I first got a smart phone. Most of my earliest pictures were of my garden and I still take plenty of photos (plants in stages of development) on a smaller scale. Just a thought for today.
