Day 117

2009-04-28T19:14:00.006-04:00

Took a long walk to take pictures of this farm. I have 3 favs and I couldn't decide.

This is the shot I worked the hardest on. I like the little tuft of dried grass peaking thru the fence.

I like this because the forest behind the barn looks like something out of Hanzel and Gretal.... now where did those bread crumbs go??? ;)

And this last shot... I really liked the red roof against the pretty blue sky.

Day 116

2009-04-28T19:14:00.003-04:00

Day 115

2009-04-28T19:14:00.001-04:00

Day 113

2009-04-28T19:08:00.002-04:00

I have some filters from another 35 mm camera that I was playing with

On this one, I used a really old HOYA Skylight lens filter - love the effect. Too big for my Nikon, so I just held it over the lens. This is SOOC - straight out of the camera, no photoshop work.

I used a really old Rokunar Polarizer lens filter. I like the Skylight one better.

Day 106

2009-04-16T21:33:00.004-04:00

We went for a walk at a local park, Twin Lakes, and I think this little guy is a beaver! I had no idea we had beavers around here... I know they are up north in Clarion County, and I've seen huge beaver damns in Maine, but never around Southwestern Pennsylvania.

Isn't he cute??

I couldn't decide which I liked better.

The close up of lilac buds:

OR
the bench w/the daffodils in front... I like the composition of this one. I was walking back from taking the photo of the lilac bud, when I glanced up and saw the bench and thought it looked pretty... it's all weathered, we've had it since 1994.

Matt made some homemade bread for our chicken parm... this is probably why I gained a pound back when I weighed in at Weight Watchers today! Why does he have to make such tasty stuff???

Day 49

It was a gorgeous 65° day. I went out to take photos of cows. There are a couple of farms if you follow the back road behind my neighborhood. The cows were far away, I got a few shots, nothing great, then I saw this rusty old wagon thing:

Day 41

2009-02-11T19:06:00.003-05:00

I baked some spritz cookies today. This photo turned out the best...

but this was my fav:

Day 40

2009-02-09T19:28:00.003-05:00

Wow, 40 days. Only 325 to go. It was lovely and warm today. When Ethan and his buddy got off the bus, they both shed their coats and immediately started playing in the yard. I snapped a couple of shots of them playing.

I really couldn't decide which photo I like, but, I think this is the one...

Here are the other 2 contenders:

Day 39

2009-02-08T17:37:00.002-05:00

Ahhh, finally, a decent shot! I put forth effort today! And the results show. This is soooo cool. And with a little photoshop help, ugly dead trees and a brown field, suddenly come to life:

Day 38

2009-02-08T17:34:00.002-05:00

Oops, I did it again... just a quick shot in... and since I'm always at my computer, and one of the kids are usually at Matt's, they are an easy target. (I know this looks like yesterdays, but, I did take it on 2 different days.)

Day 37

2009-02-08T17:33:00.000-05:00

I'm slipping!! Last minute shot here.

Day 36

2009-02-05T21:59:00.004-05:00

The kids had a 2 hour delay today. They needed a snack for their lunches. I made these homemade chocolate chip cookies.

I think this is my favorite shot thus far. The lighting is awesome and the texture in the cookies is perfect... looks so yummy. Oh, yes, I taste tested one.... quality control. Delish!

Day 35

2009-02-05T21:55:00.001-05:00

My sons rubber band ball is growing. He wants it to be in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Just more snow. My back yard, looking down from my bedroom.

Day 29

2009-01-30T17:54:00.002-05:00

I've got 2 shots today. I made these Weight Watchers brownies.... these were some of the ingredients. They turned out pretty good.

This shot could have been a cool shot, but it's blurry.
