Day 11, The Color Brown

Since I've been out of touch with my contests this past week,  I wasn't sure I'd get one done today. Photocrowd had one that ends tomorrow and seemed pretty simple so I went for it. Keeping in mind my emphasis is on learning my camera and trying new things, not just winning. Matter of fact there is an insanely small chance of that ever happening,  since I only photograph what's in my own little corner of the world with a pretty inexpensive camera and no fancy doodads either. I swear every winning photo was taken of the landscape in Iceland. Hard to compete with that! Anyway, today's challenge is "The Color Brown". So I thought about trees, wood piles, my brown dog. But then, my son's fiancée requested no-bake cookies. Which happen to be BROWN. So, using my always handy wooden cutting board, a mason jar of soy milk, tablespoon of cocoa powder, scattered oatmeal, 3 no-bake cookies, and black poster board as a back drop, this was the final result:



Apparently it's not cool to use the flash when photographing food, so this was taken in front of an open window, right in my living room. Fingers crossed that I have a chance to get a challenge done tomorrow too! Hope you're having an awesome day!

So, my kids have informed me that I have a "Finsta", I had no idea. A fake Instagram,  apparently. I didn't intend to use it for any nefarious purposes, I just read a lot and didn't want to bore any of my real life friends with pictures of books or unwanted book reviews. Not one of my over 400 Facebook friends is a big reader. I share my  FB page with my hubby, his idea, not mine, and his friends are into sports and music. Not reading. So, in addition to this blog, which I actually quite enjoy but it's kind of like yelling into the wind, no one reads or comments EVER, I made an Instagram account to befriend other bookaholics. Not a crime, right? Within ten minutes I can have 20 likes on a pretty picture of a book (or 10) that I am currently reading. That makes me happy. I want no Facebook drama with real life friends so I only friended other book readers/writers/collectors. If that makes me book-ist so be it! Blogger appears to be a ghost town, anyway. Sa...

Day 14

Still raining here, so my beautiful scenery photos have to wait, but we need the rain so it's all good. Wet days mean my hubby isn't outside, so it's very hard to stage a good photo session with him underfoot. So, I just took my dogs to the lake for some exercise and shot a few quick pics and called it a day. Again, not exactly award winning, or particularly challenging either, but at least the entire day wasn't  a dud, right?  Tomorrow's challenge will either be a faceless portrait or holiday themed. We shall see! Hope you're having an AMAZING day! Check out my new but evergrowing istock portfolio HERE !! Or my Adobe portfolio HERE Or my Shutterstock portfolio HERE

First Post This Year!

I hope you had a fun and safe New Year!  As I mentioned before, my wedding anniversary was on New Year's Eve, so my hubby took me to our favorite place for a Scorpion Bowl, or two 😉.  Took a couple of my kids with us to drive, one of the perks of having a houseful of teens, I guess!   My awesome hubby bought me flowers, of course, which I promptly disassembled and took pictures of, and played around in Photoshop,  on my NEW LAPTOP that Santa (or my son's and hubby) bought me for Christmas.  I was so excited! Still am, thus all the explanation points. (!!!) Pretty, right? They are pretty all together in their vase too, I assure you.  Ok, I took a quick pic with my cell phone, just to show he did indeed buy me a "bunch" of flowers, not just the two I edited above. :) And a card too! Since I was in such a good mood, and my profile pic on HERE is now from last year, I took a selfie, cause...
