286/365 Tradition

286/365 Tradition

“Happy Dance” After church and a nice brunch at our favorite local cafe, Weber and I went to the Santa Fe Days celebration in Carrollton.  Relatively speaking, this is a small festival, but one that is enjoyable and was manageable in the little bit of time we had before Resounding Harmony rehearsal this afternoon. Artists of all kinds had booths filled with Native American paintings, jewelry, weavings, photographs, food and public service information the culture.  There were also drummers and…

“Saturday Morning” It is the second Saturday of the month; that means that it is self portrait Saturday.  Woohoo! Not!  And, to make matters worse, I woke up with a horrible headache, the kind the makes morning look worse than shopping on Black Friday.  I wasn’t the least bit hungry, but I was counting on a cup of coffee to at least help dull the pain. “Caffeine: The Drug of Choice” This is the look of someone who has not…

284/365 Red Pull

“Red Pull” It has been one of those weeks – full of the the normal stuff that drains my energy and a few extra things that drained all of my reserves as well.  All of this has left me exhausted and in a “not very good” mood.   I went to school with Weber this morning because I am going to be serving as a mentor for kids at his school.  I am looking forward to the opportunity and the…

283/365 Spider Web

“More Spider Than Web” This is not the photo that I was hoping for today.  I had images in my mind of a beautifully symmetrical web coated with dew glistening in the morning sun – preferably one where the spider was not at home.  As you can clearly see, I did not get that picture.  As the saying goes, “Life is what happens while we are busy making plans.”  This is what life had planned for me today. As I…

281/365 Reflection

“Trees” I guess this is officially my picture of the day because it is the one that is a more accurate response to the day’s prompt – photograph a reflection in water.  I do like the symmetry of this; I think I might like it even better in black and white.  Hmmm, something to try.  I did not see the heron when I was taking the photo so he/she is a little obscured.  Oh well… I really like photo below. …

279/365 Harvest

“Making Applesauce” I wish that I could say that I had harvested these apples from my orchard to make applesauce.  Sadly, I did not.  I had to settle for the apples at the grocery store, which are good right now since wee are in the midst of apple season.  I decided to make a small batch of applesauce this afternoon.  Applesauce is one of my favorite things.  It fills the bill when I want something sweet and it is good…

278/365 Storm Clouds

“Rain and Bales” It finally feels like fall today!  The temperatures didn’t make it above 70; the skies were gray; there was a breeze; and tonight, it finally rained.  To me, the weather today was just perfect. Weber and I went to see Robert Reich’s movie Inequality for All this afternoon.  It attempts to explain how this country has ended up in the economic mess in which we find ourselves.  The movie is exceptionally well done.  It looks at many…

277/365 Two Become One

“A Duet” Today’s prompt is a little misleading taken out of the context of the monthly list.  It sounds romantic, but in reality, it’s technical.  The task was to combine two images into one.  The two photos here are a bagpiper that I saw on the street when we were in London over the summer and a photo taken today of the newest addition to my mini figure collection.   Creating this stretched my post-processing abilities.  I definitely learned a…
