    Outside My Window ~ 5.19.2013

    May 19, 2013 /

    Outside my window…is a rather dreary Sunday afternoon.  There is full cloud cover with the sun making a feeble attempt to show itself.  I say feeble because I believe it could come out and shine if it really wanted to.  I’m not sure what location The Weather Channel dude is reporting from but they are saying mostly sunny and 78°F…not so.  Cloudy and 78°F is more like it.  We have a chance of thunderstorms after 6:00 this evening, it is definitely humid enough to conjure up a storm when you mix in a little afternoon heat. We have had a weekend of storms and rain that began with a rather powerful thunderstorm at around 3:00 Saturday…

    Outside My Window ~ 6.10.2012

    Outside my window…was a bright, sunshiny day…..blue skies, not a cloud in sight but as I look out now, looks like storm clouds may be building.  At almost 4:00 in the afternoon, we are at 88°F with a little over 40% humidity….not very high for this region.  I’m not sure if the clouds will amount to anything, the forecast calls for partly cloudy.  I have seen it pour rain…for a very long time…when there was only a 30% chance of rain however.  This weekend has been considerably warmer than our past week was.  We had lots of rain at the beginning of the week and then mild temperatures….it was very…

    Outside my window…is nearing the end of another Sunday….another Sunday that found me working away until I realized what time it was.  I have been editing photos this evening until my eyes are crossing so thought it would be a perfect time to do my weekly post….although I didn’t plan on waiting so late in the evening to do so.  We have been enjoying a fabulous Memorial Day weekend thus far….blue skies and sunshine.  The forecast has brought all the folks that are anxious to celebrate the unofficial start of summer to our region….en mass….and people who live in the Hampton Roads area know that traveling will be a challenge…

    Happy Dancing All Around

    March 17, 2012 /

    This weekend I am enrolled in a photography instructional course presented by creativeLIVE ~ the Posing Masterclass with Bambi Cantrell.  Volumes of information so far…some things I am already doing…some things I am learning to do….some things I never realized were so important but actually make a world of difference. During the morning session she mentioned she would be critiquing photographs submitted to the Flickr group created for that purpose after the lunch break.  As a photographer for  over 25 years and a judge in photographic competitions, I  knew she knew what she was doing…and I was a little hesitant to submit anything.  I mean, would my work hold up…
