Ahhhhh...finally

Back in the swing of things with pics.  The computer and I are friends again and even better, my new program and I are getting along nicely.  I found an amazing site that offers lots of tips, tutorials and webinars.  I took the first webinar last week and played a lot this week with the program.  I'm taking the class again tonight.....not a re-broadcast but a live class again.   Now that I have a clue about what I am doing, I feel like I will learn more and can ask better questions to improve further. As with anything, practice makes perfect so please give me your feedback and patience as I work to make my photos better in content, editing and composition.

Winter skies are among my favorite.  The colors are far more intense than any other season and I am very luck to have a beautiful vantage point for the sunrise.  I can't capture enough of the beauty and I find myself taking pictures almost daily in hopes to never lose the feeling I get from watching the sun light up the sky and starting my day with hope.

 

 

Pomegranate. The epitome of working hard and feeling like you get so little for what you have invested in time and frustration. The payoff is there though.  The taste and texture of those little seeds is like nothing else.  Have you tried them frozen?  Even more fun.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday was packed with activities.  We started with soccer and a trip to the diner.  So much cleaning had to be done so as I worked at that, Giada needed to have something to occupy her.  How about a hallway of paper to color to her heart's content?  As artistic director, she enlisted Kris as a model and me as the photographer/ flower and planet draw-er. 

  



In between drawings, Giada needed a break so working with Kris to get her Hello Kitty Chia pet started was perfect.  I have never had a Chia Pet so this bizarre experiment is just as exciting to me and I can assure that you will be seeing future pics of this critter.

Phew. I feel great not struggling with this any more and now I just feel overwhelmed by all of the past pictures I know I want to go back and edit.  Refreshed and excited about my camera again so I hope that this inspiration will allow me to improve my skills and vision.  You thought I always had a camera with me before? Obsessed now.
