159/365 dishes

I'd much rather play with my macro lens and Photoshop than empty the dishwasher.

158/365 Crisp morning.

158 days of taking a photo a day. There were some days that I took 300 photos. One day I took over 1000 photos in the day, but that was a wedding shoot. :)
Most days I have taken about 10 and some days I have taken just one - like today. We were on our way to church this morning and I stepped out on the driveway to feel the sun so strong and bright~ Promises that spring will come and the earth will tilt back in our favour and yes one day my tulips will come up again.

156/365 wine

Friday night after a very long week. Oh it has been such a busy week. So it was a real treat to walk in the door tonight and be greeted by my sweetheart and a glass of Pinot Gris. Yes it was just perfect.

That is the cold, snow filled backyard in the reflection in the glass. But it was warm inside.

155/365 Photoshop for Dummies

Why is it I feel so complelled to buy about six of these books. Somehow I think that just forking out the money is all I have to do and somehow by osmosis I will be an expert in Photoshop and Lightroom. As if owning them is all that is necessary.

But I know that is not true because last fall I purchased Scott Kelby's "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 for Digital Photographers" A fabulous book and a very expensive one too. So far I am only about 40 pages into it. I have owned it for 6 months and I am still a "Dummy"

It is not a quick read by any stretch. It is a workbook and best read with the keyboard under hand and Lightroom on the screen. So I am forbidding myself any more of these books until I know Lightroom almost as well as Scott Kelby the guru of everything Adobe makes.

Okay, until I finish the book.

So I bought two photography magazines....somehow I have no trouble devouring them in an evening.

153/365 winter lily

There is something beautiful about my dead lily stocks, their bulbs keeping warm underground... waiting for the spring sun to warm them up so they can show their splendor again.

152/365 Avalanche warning

This is what is hanging from the front eave of our house.

151/365 Climate Change

This is my definition of climate change.
When the temperature can change this drastically in 29 hours.....
THAT is called climate change.
And it is taking some adjustment, I tell ya.

The photo on the left was taken today. The photo on the right was taken yesterday.
Vacations need to be more than one week long.

150/365 Leaving

Had to leave today. Took this photo while waiting for our bus.

Now I am home with a sweater on and the heat cranked up, loads of laundry waiting. You know... the usual.
