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!

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...

Spring Snow

When an unexpected beautiful snow covers the muddy ground and sticks to the trees, you just gotta get some pictures. I'm glad I got up early enough to catch it while it was still so pretty, it's already melting now. We all know what melting snow looks like when you have two dogs 😃. Nothing you'd want to take pictures of! Having a quiet day at home today, hubby bought wine so looks like I'll be cooking and quite likely enjoying myself pretty soon, whenever it's wine-thirty. 🍷📖❄🥂 Hope you are having an awesome day!  Wanna follow me on my Finsta? #bookaddictiam  HERE Check my Viewbug page out  HERE Or see my Photocrowd pics  HERE Or, if youre feeling generous, or pitiful, either works, go download from  my  Adobe portfolio  HERE   Or my Shutterstock portfolio  HERE   Or my Getty/Istock portfolio  HERE     Thank You!
