The Quiet One

A little snow tonight

A little snow for tonight, maybe get up to 5 inches. I'll be just happy if we get just 2. It's mid February, I'm looking for Spring now. I have an aunt who lives in Virgina, she call today and said that robins are there and they are playing in the snow. Probably trying to keep their feet warm. But at least they are making thier way up here.

Spring is 33 days away.

Did take a walk after lunch, since it was such a beautiful day. Did tried more infrared shots but none really came out that good.  Really wanted to take the Rebel along but still working on setting the custom white balance for the those kind of shots, especially if I want to tried a color shot. But I don't remember if set the balance with the infrared lens on or off.  Techically you suppose to use green foliage to set it, like tree leaves. However this is winter, might use just plain house plants instead. I'm hoping with using the rebel, I can use a higher ISO and reduce a the shutter speed just a bit. 

Oh I'm tired right now. This little storm brought a bit of headache today. Though I could blame something it on something else too.

Tomorrow I do planned work on poems. I miss it working on them . So looking forward to hopefully the whole afternoon with words

Was going post a photo -

Was going post a photo of a sow squall that came through last Thursday. But you know me, just simple had to play around with the photo. Have to admit, that's better than another shot of snow. Has such an ereie look to it.

Right now, I'm doing good, some the stitches are falling out. Including the two that were driving crazy this weekend. Looking forward to rest to come on Wednesday.

Can't belive some the stuff that being said about the iPad. Enough already, give it a chance first.  In the end, might ruin the chance of getting a tablet computer from Apple. I'm sure in the end, Apple & Adobe will come to some kind of agreement about flash. Or better yet, Apple make their own flash.  I agree with some people, the flash is overkill on a lot of site.   

Tomorrow, I'll play catch with the Art Journal Caravan stuff, have been keeping that up.

Ok I survived Christmas!

What help was my cold kinda disappeared by Friday. Yes, I had snow on the ground for a white Christmas but the sky was a little too grey for my taste.

As always, my brother came me a puzzle, in hopes that it will stumped me. So far he has strike out. The latest one, is 2000 piece puzzle of a lavender field at sunset. Yes lots of purple in it. 

Three days left of the old year, not putting any dreams for the new year. Not really sure what is going happen with my job. I did set the day where I get my mouth work on, Jan 20th . I do hope this all works in the end.

Work on some poems this weekend. Been away from it too long and had a bit mess with the files. Got under control to a point. 

The art work above was originally a photo of my Dad's new tv. As you can see, I had some fun with it.

here's the picture

Opps, almost forgot to post this. This is the original picture that I use to make the artwork on the last post. 

Just don't ask how I did it, don't really remember now. LOL

A December 1st tomorrow!

Ah, I was so surprise how well this turn out. I believe part the reason it was a raw file first. Not saying what it was originally was, I'll post the picture tomorrow. 

So tomorrow is December 1st. Yes I love Christmas and all it's wonderful decorations. Already seeing Christmas trees in front of windows. Ah that does make thsi heart happy. Too all those who would be Grinches, please get a real life or shut your damn mouth. 

Deer hunting season has started in my area. Hopefully no kid get shot and kill like last year in New York state.  One hunter already got shot because the other hunter wasn't doing things correctly. Well at least give him a bonus point for getting help.  

I was going mention something but I can't remember what it was. So I'll just finish this jst like this.

Thoughts for Monday.

Hmm, that artwork looks better in Photoshop than here.

Between my sore throat and the reports that a black bear was walking through the neighborhood. It pretty canceled any plans of taking a walk after supper. So instead, just cozy in the bed.

I really should have my head examined.

After saying I would stop writing them because they were taking time from other things. I'm now writing another Star Wars story. I'm not sure if I'll be posting it on Fanfiction but I just need to get this story out my system. Along with the other two that have been lurking in my mind.

Ah, another two weeks, all the summer reading programs will be done.  Getting close to wanting summer to be annoying and looking forward to fall. Then again, it really hasn't been too hot. Then again, part 2- I should shut my mouth.

Well finally -

Well finally, a day I feel like posting something and no t-storms is canceling that idea.

Last night I jotted a few things down, then a goods size t-storm came through. I didn't get the hail at my house. However when I got to work, found a small pile of it by the entrance. It didn't melt away until after lunchtime. Except for the piece in the freezer, that I put in there sorta as a joke. The boss is away and I know she'll get a kick out of it.

It's late again. I got sidetrack with playing with this photos.  Quite please how it turn out. Oh course, nobody will be able to figure out it was originally was.

A Rainy Day Sun

Well this is the only sun I'm seeing so far this week. It's been cloudy since Sat and it look like it will be staying that for the rest of the week.

Guess I'll curling up with a cup of tea, working on some poems.  After all I have all these poems to revise. I did tried to do the NaPoWriMo and fell two poems short. Will I do it next year? No. I look over a few poems, some them just feel so force. So when I get to them, a big x will mark them.

I did manage to finally fill up a notebook with poems. A new one is now in the bag I take to work and grab when I'm at home. How long will it take me to fill that one? I think the last one took me three years to fill.

Goodbye Feedburner and shingles (well sorta on that part)

Ah the shingles is finally is getting to point where I'm on the mend. Never want that again. Well it's rare to gets a second case of it. Landed up taking two days off of work because of it. Monday was the worse day at all. Though today was knock down with one very bad headache.

So on the mend, with a just two sore spots to deal with. My left hip still looks like somebody splattered red paint on me. I'm hoping to be able to go for walk this weekend. 

Ok I had enough of Feedburner not doing it's job. So drop that and just used what Typepad gives it. Already tested it and it works fine.

Not saying what the shot above is but when one is housebound and a tab bored. One creatives with the camera and Photoshop.

A wonderful break from -

Ah, this past weekend got this wonderful break from the freezing cold. It was chilly but not enough to complain about. Both on Friday and Sunday managed to take walks. Friday I had to dig out the garden hose out the frozen snow. I had a little fun with the chunks of snow. There was bank of pushed snow nearby so I just took the chunks place in the bank. Was going for a snow Stonehenge look.  

Yes, I decided that the photo could use a little help with some Photoshop. I was hoping to take more pictures on Sunday but by Sunday it was melted away already. Knowing this area, another blast of snow is in the future works.

I did type up some new poems over the weekend. I'll post a few tomorrow. It was a busy day at work, kinda tired right now.
