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!

We are literally getting a foot of snow this afternoon, so like everyone else, I acted as though the world was coming to an end and bought out there grocery store this morning. Gotta feed my four kids and hubby, even if I could gladly live off of Munchos and green tea. However, now that I am home, three of my kids are here safe, hubby's skidder broke down so he said the heck with it and he also is home safe. Gotta get son #3 home from work and then I will really relax. In the meantime, I am spending a few glorious hours with King Henry VIII and the Tudor Court. Bliss.  Have an awesome day!

Day 13

My photo challenge is up and running on both Photocrowd and ViewBug, so exciting! Yesterday my challenge was a colorful landscape. I took off for the day with my family, but the leaves are not quite in full bloom around here just yet. Very disappointing because I'm afraid they will fall off the trees before we get the huge amount of color we usually get here in western Maine. So I got some cute pics of farm animals at the Fryeburg Fair instead. However, riding by the Androscoggin River on my way home we spotted a few colorful trees, so my hubby pulled over and we went for a little hike and I took these: I actually think the rain helped these colors "pop".

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...
