Why I Love This Place

Blooming
I brought my hibiscus plant inside not too long ago. The temperatures at night were getting below their comfort zone. They won’t survive the winter outside in my region. It is doing wonderfully in the house by my back door. And blooming inside now. I love waking up to these beautiful blooms. They make me smile.

Daydreaming While Watching Sunsets
I was able to get my sunset photos web ready this evening… …the PSE installation was successful. They weren’t quite as colorful as I had hoped….but the clouds were interesting. I simplified this image in Topaz…it kind of gave the water a weird kind of texture. Kind of flaky looking I guess. I like the tiny airplane at the top. When I see an airplane, I always wonder where they are going…. …or where they have been. Hopefully it was a good flight either way.

It Happens
There was going to be another image here tonight. I had planned a sunset. Download images…open PSE7. Ready…wait…what? Photoshop Elements wasn’t cooperating. Crash….burn. Un-install. Reinstall. It happens. 😐

Outside My Window ~ 10.31.10
Outside My Window…are howling winds….rain….ghosts….goblins. 🙂 Kidding…..couldn’t resist. Yea, my kids tell me all the time I’m not right. We actually have a gorgeous morning. The temperature at 11:47 a.m. is 64ºF, sunshine, blue skies with some high clouds painted across the sky…not enough to diminish the sunshine though. Our forecast high is 68ºF for today with a low of 45ºF for this evening. Sounds like the kiddos trick or treating tonight may need jackets or warm clothing under the costumes. If I remember right, the costumes I use to buy for my daughters were quite thin and on cold Halloween evening we would have to get creative so they…

How Did I Get Talked In To This?
I’m watching a friend of my daughter’s son tonight….. We read Goodnight Moon….but he is quite cranky. The tales of him falling asleep right away were false. I think I’m too old for this. 😐

Disappointment and Discovery
I went to the boat dock area this evening to capture a sunset. I was disappointed. My captures aren’t what I thought they would be. But I did like this image of the river grass. My discovery… I’m pretty sure my coolest bird shot to date is a Northern Mockingbird. I checked my Kaufman Field Guide to Birds of North America. It all fits….the wing coloring and pattern, white feathers on the outside of the tail. And the song. I know field guide for birds may not be the coolest thing I can admit to reading…. …but now you know what a Northern Mockingbird looks like. 🙂

A Water Color Mum
I was playing around with Topaz this evening and created a water color of my photograph. What do you think….does it look like a water color?

65
On January 1st of this year, I decided to do a post on each day of the year. I’m not going to lie to you….it hasn’t been easy. There have been days when I sit and stare at the computer. And look at photo after photo after photo. Then I have to decide what to write. And I got nothing…zippo….zero. Like tonight. 😐 65 days to go….
