A Couple More…
Are you tired of the bird shots yet? I have a couple of more practice shots I took Tuesday afternoon…..again with the 55 -250 lens…. Again, through the sliding glass door ~ it is a little too chilly to sit outside quietly and wait for them to come….but I can’t wait for Spring and Summer!! 🙂

Outside My Window ~ 2.14.10
Outside My Window…is 30ºF, sunshine and clear, blue skies at 9:30 this morning. We currently have a wind chill of 21ºF with a mild breeze outside….enough to make my wind chimes sing to me. Our forecast today is sunshine with a high of 41ºF. Can’t complain too much about that. I did wake up to light snow yesterday morning….that was the third Saturday in a row we have had snow. This was not much of a storm though……very light snow flurries, maybe a half inch accumulation with all traces gone by this morning. The one thing that has struck me as I have driven around is the mountains of snow…

How Cool Is That!!
I was contacted Friday by a company that makes plant tags ~ they want to use my Daisy Gardenia photo for their tag!! This is an image I took in May of last year….not too long after I picked my camera up again after many moons of being away. I wouldn’t call this my best shot….but apparently it fits their needs. How cool is that!! 🙂

A Bit Dry
The air in my office is so dry, my skin feels like this wood looks! Cracked, dry and in desperate need of moisture!! Aging texture by Skeletalmess applied….and one other by him but I didn’t copy the name when I saved it….Drat!

Outside My Window ~ 1.24.10
Outside My Window…is a cloudy afternoon around 2:15 pm, and about 65ºF. I believe we have a forecast for rain this evening, rain and wind tomorrow. The temperature is wonderful out, first time in a long time I have been able to go outside without a jacket….comfortably anyway. 🙂 There was sun shine when I woke up, but the clouds quickly took over around noon. I am thinking…about the drive earlier today. I took Cailin out again and happy to report there is good progress. Today we drove for about an hour and a half and approximately 50 miles. We began at Newport News Park and headed north to Williamsburg, drove the Parkway…

Lake Maury and The Lion’s Bridge
Last night, I was organizing some files on my computer when I ran across the folder of photos I had taken one afternoon at Lion’s Bridge. I had posted the above image and mentioned that I would write more about him ~ and then I promptly forgot. I need to work on that! 🙂 Lion’s Bridge is actually a dam. Information regarding Lion’s Bridge as taken from the Mariner Museum web site: Known as the Lion’s Bridge, the dam forming the lake provides a breathtaking view of the James River, as well as a family gathering place to enjoy the Museum Park. The beauty of the dam is enhanced by…

Outside My Window ~ 1.17.10
Outside My Window…is gray skies and pouring rain. Currently at 11:00 am, we are at 50ºF with winds at 29 mph. The forecast for today is a high of 58ºF with heavy rain. These temps and the rain should take away any remaining snow we had in the area from over a week ago. Yes, there was some lingering snow…particularly in well shaded areas. When I was driving down the Parkway last week, I noticed there was some snow on the beaches closer to the grassy areas as well. I was surprised to drive by a small pond and see it partially frozen with snow on top of the ice. Again, these are…
