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......

78/365 Charter House Lamp


Charter House Interiors happens to be only three blocks from the office and it has a little cafe on the second floor that serves yummy soup and sandwiches ....so it makes for a great lunch break and it also makes for a little spending. I saw this lamp there and thought it was VERY cool. I didn't buy it but I did take a photo of it. It may just work in the upstairs hall.

However I bought a funky lime green ottoman which looks perfect in the family room. Maybe I will take a photo of it tomorrow.


Most of my accent pieces in our house come from Charter House - check out some of my favorites. And my lime green ottoman goes just perfectly!

76/365 Funky chair

A lunch walk to Cafe Sola. Me to wake myself up and see if there were any photo ops out there and Heather to satisfy a sweet tooth craving. Not that I showed great restraint - I had just finished a donut with my soup and bun special from Tims.

Cafe Sola is a cool place and this is where I first discovered Rooibus tea. Remember African Fog? Or shall it be Red Velvet Cape?


But THIS next  photo is my shot of the day!
And the lighting was perfect!
So were the glass windows!


Have you checked out Cafe Sola?
