91/365 Good wine

"May our love be like good wine...... grow stronger as it grows older."

Old English Toast

That little heart on the glass is a reflection off the paper - just caught it at the right angle with the remote flash. Love how the paper is reflected in the stem too.

90/365 It's December




Continuing on with that B&W theme and considering also adding a Christmas theme this week...because on Friday my daughter is coming over to help me pull out all the decorations. It is December after all and we only get to do this once a year. Lime green here we come!!

Spaceship Flora 14 leaves home base loopy for distant uninhabited nutmeg

 
Looks like she found company on Nutmeg.

I am on a B&W off camera lighting with a reflector kick these days.
Expect more.

86/365 Morning sun on old chair


.....that could use a dusting I see!
Tomorrow I will venture outside for my photo - yes I have great plans for tomorrow - I will shower and blow dry my hair, wear makeup and put my rings back on and get dressed in real clothes for the first time in five days. And I am looking forward to it! Coffee at Intermission House with my sweetheart is the plan. Then home to rest. :)

85/365 My name in Lights!

Yes, well, boredom is settling in.
I know it is because today I spelled my name in lights. You too can see your name in lights if you are lying in bed looking up at the ceiling fixture - bored, unable to move and needing a photo for the 365 blog.

Just put that camera on manual or shutter priority - s l ow 2 second shutter speed and move your camera around in the shape of the letter by the time the shutter closes.

It take a little practice.. but hey, I have time!!! Really! I have time!

My name in Lights - and this aint no ordinary bedroom ceiling fixture! It is a Schonbeck! 



On to more normal photos and good news - I made it to the computer today - it took a while but here I am with two of my many fav things - my keyboard for my MAC (oh how I missed you MAC) and chocolate, courtesy of #1 son who knows how to make his mom feel better.


So today you got two (or six depending on how you look at it) photos for the price of one. Is someone paying me????

84/365 Morning Light



Taken Wednesday Morning Nov 25
Morning light coming in my bedroom window. Slow shutter and moving zoom lens.

83/365 ART



Taken Tuesday night late.
This is a metal art piece on my wall. I rotated my zoom lens into the art. Can't remember if I used the flash - don't think I did but then I can't remember much of Tuesday at all except this nagging feeling that I was supposed to take a photo.
I did grunge it up a little in Lightroom - upped the contrast and clarity - but that's all.
Cool eh?
BTW sending this from the PC laptop from bed- just got DH to bring me my card reader off the MAC and I happen to have lightroom on his pc for when we travel. Although...would love a Mac book for Christmas... :) along with several other very expensive photography related things but hey if you don't ask you for sure won't get it.
Feeling better.
Waiting for gravol to kick in.
Drugs are good.

Out of Order but still taking photos!!

For the few of you who faithfully visit daily you may have noticed that I have not posted since monday.

I headed into SCH early monday morning for surgery and am home now recuperating. (I posted mondays photo of ice minutes before I left to SCH). Yes I am a tad committed to this 365 thing. That bought me two days grace because I took Tuesday's photo late that night.
....of the bedroom art  -  you know, you can do funky things with a zoom and low shutter speed. Add to that the ability to do double exposures and it is amazing what you can come up with when flat on your back in a drug induced state. Wish my camera weren't so dang heavy.

My camera is, however,  a welcome distraction...until I fall asleep again. So is my sweethearts laptop and wireless internet. I have read plenty of decorating magazines - mostly while waiting for surgery and I am now attempting to memorize 1 Peter chapter one since once I get my Bible set up (which is a bit of a task) I prefer not to turn the page.

I have not been able to make it down to the computer...so posting will have to wait. I very much miss my MAC!!

And now I am going to take more drugs and sleep....
please ignor/forgive spelling mistakes - there isn't any spell check showing up on the PC......
