    Beware When The Moon Is Full

    Inspired by Jenny Le’s “Nocturna” The full tutorial is not available unless you are a member of the site {which I am not} so I took the idea and created something similar of my own. This composite has 24 layers including stock images and adjustments. If you click on the links below you will see the stock images used with the exception of the candles and flame ~ the owner has put her deviations into storage and they are no longer available but she has requested credit with this notation.

    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…

    Outside My Window ~ 11.29.09

    Outside My Window…is bright, blue, sun shiny skies.  The temperature this morning at 8:45 is 49F with very light winds.  The humidity is low ~ for us anyway ~ at 59%.  Any morning you wake up with no dew on the windshield, you know the humidity is low that morning.   Our forecast for today is  67F with partly cloudy skies.  With the exception of Wednesday and Friday, we have had pretty decent weather during my time off.   Rain showers are in the forecast for tomorrow.  I noticed our precipitation for the month of November is already at 11.19 inches……10 of which was received during Nor’Ida earlier this month.  It has been a soggy month. I…

    Outside My Window ~ 11.22.09

    Outside My Window…is a beautiful morning.  At 10:00 am, we are at 56F with 79% humidity, sunshine, blue skies with a few white fluffy clouds here and there.  Very nice indeed.  I was out and about early this morning to work in my side yard gathering up leaves and pulling some weeds.  I finally got my daisy gardenia transplanted as well.  I will miss it on my front porch.  While it was in bloom, each time I walked in and out the door I was able to enjoy the wonderful aroma.  It stated on the information tag that  it was suited for pots, I’m thinking not so much.  I’m hoping it does…

    Outside My Window ~ 11.15.09

    Outside My Window…is no wind and rain!  Yeah!  Fortunately, the low pressure system that caused us so many problems is well off the coast of North Carolina now.  I woke up early and saw some blue skies while the sun was rising, but clouds took over.  I just looked outside and it looks like that is attempting to burn off right now.  We are at 55F right now with about  87% humidity, but the best part….winds are non-existent!!  Our high is suppose to reach 72F today with partly cloudy skies.    We are still under a coastal flood watch until around 10 this morning.  I guess all the folks right on the coast…

    Outside My Window ~ 8.23.09

    Outside My Window…is a decent morning.  Temps are 81F with 68% humidity at 11:00 this morning.  Yes, it is quite toasty and muggy outside.  What was beautiful, blue, sun shiny skies is now filling with clouds.  We are forecasted today to have thunderstorms this afternoon.  This is pretty typical weather for this time of year actually.  Yesterday afternoon we had an enormous amount of rain from the front that passed through….the same one that kept Hurricane Bill away from the coast. I am thinking…about my things to do list…….and how grateful I am that Alanna remembered the time she got caught in a rip current when we were at Nags…
