I bought these flowers last weekend so they are well past their prime but I liked how several of the flowers were floating on the top of the water in the vase. While shooting, a full flower fell and that is the 2nd shot which I also posted as my photo for the day on pBase
Rotated crop of the image I posted on pBase today. Thought the ice looked like a seahorse.

Slowly trying to catch up on things. And there are so many things to catch up on… Seems December was a blur… And now we are starting the 2nd week of January. I had planned on starting my catch up yesterday, however, life seemed to have a different take on that issue as we woke up to ice on everything. It was beautiful to see. Such beauty and yet so much danger in something so simple as ice.
All of the elementary schools for our town were closed due to downed electrical wires and trees. There were reports of a couple trees on fire from hitting power lines. Then there is the ice itself on the roads…
Today it keeps fluctuating between sunny then storm clouds and a bit of snow followed by a bit of sun… the weather has yet to make up its mind.
Moments ago, we got a strange snow flurry – looked like hundreds of little styrofoam balls flying through the air.
Here is a shot of the actual little balls as they sat on my deck moments after the shot above was taken…
It was a great little break in my day to grab the camera and take a shot. I’ve actually been doing pretty good on keeping up with the photo a day this year so far… of course it has only been 8 days so far and now that I’ve mentioned it I have probably doomed it… but let’s not dwell on that yet…
I’ve been cleaning out my inbox in an attempt to get things organized so I can get back to work… Some of the items in the inbox are from so long ago… from net friends I had every intention of getting back to but never found the time to actually sit down and write out replies… if you are one of those and you are by chance reading this, I apologize… again, I’m very behind on many things…. including the email from my husband reminding me we have to write up our Christmas 2008 letter… yep, still haven’t done that… How about Happy Groundhog’s Day cards??
Design Query: Why can’t one place a RAW image from Bridge into Contribute??? It would make life a little simpler…
Ever since my friend Nina introduced me to the German band “Poems for Laila” I’ve checked out various German bands. One of my favorite finds on amazon.de was the band Reamonn… Their 5th studio album was just released and I recieved my copy yesterday. I think it is my favorite of theirs so far – even better than “Beautiful Sky”. This is such a great band, I’m really surprised they haven’t managed to break into the US yet – perhaps they just don’t want to… The lead singer is Irish and the songs are all in English.
If you are interested in checking out some of their songs, they have several posted on their myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/reamonncom Through the Eyes of a Child is from their lastest album “Reamonn”
