Daily Themes

I've had many people ask me why I categorize my pictures the way I do.

When I began my daily emails a few years ago, with hundreds of pictures adding up in my collection, I was getting myself unorganized and confused as to what and where all my pictures were. I then decided to try to maintain a particular a little consistency and create some kind of theme. So then I decided to name each day to fit that particular theme. I started sending out pictures of flowers on Mondays, animals on Tuesdays, special places of interest on Thursdays and sunsets on Fridays. Well, after a while I wanted to broaden the spectrum a bit. I didn't want to limit myself to just flowers because there are so many other beautiful and fascinating plants in this world. Then I noticed that I was accumulating more and more pictures of other creatures so I couldn't just limit myself to animals. Then I found the same dilemma with sunsets. There are so many other fascinating things to see in the sky than just sunsets.

So with all that in mind I thought of using the names you now see.
Images of plants and things relating to Botany would be "Botanicals"
Images of animals and things relating to Biology would be "Biologicals"
Computer enhanced artwork or other Graphic images would be "Graphicals"
Special places or location images relating to Geography would be "Geographicals"
Then, of course, images from the Atmosphere would be "Atmosphericals"

Then by adding the other category of the conventional Photographs became "Photographicals"
Words and Lyrics from my songs and poetry are "Lyricals" and Music is "Musicals"

In maintaining these categories it has helped me to be more organized and keep my images in order and much easier for me to locate specific pictures in my growing database of images.
