    1/52

    I really like these frames….I think they add something to the photographs.  I’m using frames from Isabelle LaFrance again tonight….I have several others from CoffeeShop Free Actions that I want to play around with too.   I have also been trying my hand at making my own….perhaps I will be able to offer a free download myself some day soon.  🙂 This is my first entry into the two P52 projects I decided to join this year.  The first is P52 – A Less Ambitious 365 ~ I love that name by the way ~ and MCP Project 52.  Both of these projects are hosted on Flickr so you will need to be a…

    Tropical Soup

    The heat and humidity these past few days has been brutal.  This is typical weather for this area, but generally a little later in the season.  I noticed that Sunday was a good ten degrees above the norm.  I can usually deal with the heat…but when you add a good dose of humidity, it turns the air into a tropical soup.  Miserable. I spent a good part of this evening watering my plants and flowers with rain barrel water.  I used a decent amount of the water reserves this evening…..I hope we get some rain soon.  It may cool things off.  Thanks to Shadowhouse Creations for the free textures used on the wind chimes image ~  1000…

    Road Trip ~ Conclusion

    As I conclude the tale of our road trip, I wanted to share a few more random photos with you.  There was a full moon during my visit and try as I might, I was unable to get a photo of one that I was really happy with while it was dark….but I did get one early in the morning on the day we left… I’m still a work in progress when it comes to moon shots, but I was pretty happy with this one.  🙂    There were also some pretty amazing sunsets…. There was a shopping day while we were there of course.  Seriously, have you ever known teen aged girls to go somewhere…

    Outside My Window ~ 8.16.09

    Outside My Window…is a nice morning……sun is shining….a slight breeze…..81F with 68% humidity.  Yea, I’m wishing the humidity wasn’t that high.  Wow, I just saw on the weather channel we have had almost 4 inches of rain so far this month…and I have noticed the tropics are picking up ~ three now.  We are heading into the real hurricane season now.  It officially starts on June 1st, but things usually won’t get interesting until mid August and they can get even more interesting as we approach mid September.  It is perfect weather for storms to blossom in the ocean. For people who live near the east or gulf coast, the…

    Outside My Window ~ 8.2.09

    Outside My Window…M*U*G*G*Y….overcast skies, temperature is around 79F right now and 85% humidity at 830.  Our forecast for today is thunderstorms, some possibly severe.  I ran my 3 miles this morning…..felt more like a swim with all the moisture in the air!!    🙂  I am thinking…about all the things I need to do before we leave on our trip.  I have started a list of things to take with me and will be pulling our bags out so I can start packing a few things.  It won’t be a long visit so won’t require too many things, but I tend to over-pack.  Guess it is better to have too much…
