Outside My Window ~ 8.13.2012
Outside my window…is the closing hours of Monday evening. Yep, you usually see this on a Sunday however internet issues aggravated me enough last night I decided I would just walk away. Sometimes that is the best thing….especially when working with electronics that would not handle being manhandled very well. 😀 It wasn’t that extreme but just enough to get under my skin so I walked away. Right now we are at about 75°F with about 88% humidity….everything should be nice and wet tomorrow morning when I go out. Our forecast low for this evening is 72°F, close to our temperature right now. Today started out at 70°F and worked…

Outside My Window ~ 8.5.2012
Outside my window…is sunshine, blue skies, white puffy clouds and a lot of humidity and heat. A lot. Currently at nearly 1:00 p.m we are at 88°F with about 59% humidity. It feels like 95°F outside right now….I would say that is about right. Our forecast high temperature for today is 89°F with an isolated chance of thunderstorms. There is a light breeze currently blowing but it is not cooling things off all that much. Tomorrow will be about as warm with a greater chance of thunderstorms and then we will cool off to the low 80’s for a few days. I am thinking about…how once upon a time I…

Outside My Window ~ 7.29.2012
Outside my window…are the closing hours of my vacation. Back to work tomorrow….I have decided I would like to have time off more often than not. Sigh. It is close to 8:45 in the evening and we are at 79°F with 78% humidity….the dew point is 72° and the winds are calm….sounds lovely outside doesn’t it? {insert sarcastic laughter here} The temperature is cooler than the past several evenings but high humidity is never pleasant, trust me. The rest of the week will be in the mid to high eighties with chances of thunderstorms…pretty typical for this time of year. I spent the past week in South Carolina while they…

Antique In Black & White
In May 2012, there was an antique car show on the Duke of Gloucester Street in Williamsburg, Virginia. I work not too far from there and walked over during my lunch hour to take a few photographs. While post processing the images, I opted for black and white for the majority of the images. Yesterday I included the few color images I processed, today I am highlighting the black and white. I was a little taken with the hood ornaments. 😀

Outside My Window ~ 7.15.2012
Outside my window…is a hot and humid Sunday morning although we are inching towards the noon hour. Right now it is 86°F but feels like 94°F. The humidity is at 63% with an expected climb to at least 82% later this afternoon when thunderstorms are expected. I could tell the minute I opened the front door this morning it would be an indoor day today….I could feel the heat through the storm door. There is sunshine, blue skies with some large puffy clouds mixed in…a light, steady breeze moving the leaves on the trees. Our forecast high for today is 90° but is expected to drop down to 77°F when…

Outside My Window ~ 7.8.2012
Outside my window…is an evening inching towards completion. At a little past 10:00 p.m. we have cloudy skies…a fairly steady wind from the north at 14 mph. It is currently 81°F but feels like 84°F. Our forecast low for this evening is 75°F with a 50% chance of thunderstorms….a few may be severe. Our forecast high for tomorrow is our current “feels like” temperature, 84°F…and even though I’m sure the humidity is going to be fairly high, it will feel cooler than the past several days when our heat index has been 109°F to 115°F. I’m hoping some of the forecast rain materializes this week….after all this heat things…
