The other morning when I took the photo of the morning sun reflected off the gum tree I also took some other photos to try and capture a word – Action. This is for my go at the Shutter Sisters One Word Project.
The subject of this photo – my son – is nearly always active. Even if he stands still his mouth is still very active. I’ve learned to switch off sometimes otherwise my head will explode.
I drag him out on my morning walks and he starts off with great reluctance but it’s the only time that I can walk my dog, or that I will walk my dog. And in this hot weather it’s the best time of day to do so.
I chose the word action, not to take photos of my son in action, but to remind myself that I need to take action with my life too.
I did this in part today when a friend came over to discuss me doing her website. She left with a list of tasks and now the ball’s really in her court. The action I’ll have to take will happen once she gets her content together but we gave her a deadline. We looked at similar websites (where we could find them) of her field and they were mostly shite and/or had hardly any information on them. She’s a health practitioner and obviously these people rely more heavily on other forms of advertising themself. So it will be interesting once her site is up and running to make sure her search engine optimisation is up to scratch and to see how many new clients she gets from her website. That will be a good tick for me anyway.
I know when I’m looking for a service, the first place I go to is the web. What about you?

Good on you for getting going with your business! I think every business should have a website and there are some real shockers out there! Good luck with it all. 🙂

Hi, came across your blog via a Roaming Aussie Mum and really enjoy your style. To answer your question – the first place I go when I’m looking for anything is the internet. I can’t really imagine how I’d cope without it now – recipes, books, holidays, christmas pressies, history, quotes, heard it on the radio and want to know more – it all gets googled.
Hope the website business takes off. Alex xx

Great attitude with the action, darl. Good shot too.

Alex, thanks for the feedback. I wonder what less web savvy people do in regards to researching products.
Jen says
Guera, yes, there are indeed some really shocking websites. I thought of a good tagline – ‘Cleaning up the internet – one website at a time.’ That’s if that’s the path I choose of course.
