Black Eyed Susans

July 21, 2009 – 9:00 pm

blackeyedsusans Hello. How was everyone’s Tuesday? Mine was fine and normal. I woke up around six thirty in the morning which was really early for me and couldn’t go back to sleep. Then I lost power later for awhile since of a storm but I got chores done while the lights were out and played solitaire with a deck of cards. Even though the electricity came back on the rain continued and the dogs got soaked in the backyard. Princess still went chasing after the chipmunk and birds but Lady and Oliver just wanted to come inside. My sinus headache has not been too bad which is good. Overall just a nice summer day.

Did I tell you that my special girl Princess pooped on my foot today? Yes, the perfect dog who is housetrained and all. She came into the kitchen where I was and started to do her poop dance and then I was pulling her outside and I felt a warm blob on my foot…POOP! I keep laughing everytime I share this story. I am laughing right now. LOL. I still love her so much. Nothing can change my love for my special girl Princess. Do not worry Lady and Oliver I love you two also very much. My dogs make such a great pack. The best pack out there.

Right now I am watching the movie Mamma Mia on tv. I saw it in the theater when it just came out and I also have it on dvd. It is such a great funny movie with wonderful music. Like musicals? You must see it. I am singing the songs right now. Join in and lets all sing together.

I decided for the social media/tech/internet blog the blog title is going to be Aivz Tech, Annas Tech or Social Anna. Which one do you like best?

Here is a photo I took yesterday of Black Eyed Susans in the front garden. Yellow and black go so well together. I think its a pretty nice nature photograph. I took a bunch and this is one of my favorites. I am going to finish watching the move and surf the net more. I will probably crash in a few hours. I will talk to you all soon and have a nice night.

Oliver Back PorchHello! I hope everyone had a nice start of the week. I did which always is good. It was nice weather out so I went outside and took some photography of flowers, plants and my dogs. Did my daily chores, walked the dogs, listened to music and just enjoyed the day. Sadly, the weather is suppose to get icky in the next few days which means my sinus headaches going to come back but I will survive them. I am enjoying summer. Lots of time being with my dogs and I am enjoying no school. I am happy though that I am finally a senior! Which means last year of school forever unless I decide to go to college. I have not decided yet. I will have to see where my life takes me or where I take my life.

I was sitting at my kitchen table earlier on my laptop and i looked outside the door window and saw an American Goldfinch flying around in the backyard. They are such beautiful birds. If you did not know the American Goldfinch is New Jersey’s state bird.

I decided I need to start taking photos everyday. There is so much to photograph and the only way I will get better is practice. So I am going to get myself out there everyday unless its raining.

Look! Its Oliver! I took this photograph today outside in my backyard in the lovely weather. Oliver was just laying on the porch watching me take photos because he is such a curious little boy. So I turned the camera to him and took a few shots of his cute face. He has such a great black spot that makes him so unique looking. When I was out there I took a whole set of photos of my dogs but really I only kept three or four of my favorites. The others weren’t good enough to me.  Hope everyone has a nice night and will talk to you all soon. Peace.

Sunny Sunday :)

July 19, 2009 – 8:47 pm

flowers Hello, I am home from the cabin. Came home a little while ago and now doing my daily photoblog post. On the way home we stopped for some Dairy Queen and I had a chocolate chip blizzard. Oh it was so good. By the way it was a lovely weekend. Not too hot and it was mostly sunny with just some passing clouds. I did some driving with my mom since I still have my permit. Luckily I did not hit anything or anyone. Overall it was a nice happy weekend.

Now I am just home relaxing, surfing the internet and listening to music. If you want to know what I like to listen to check out my last.fm. I have a vast variety of music I listen to because I am open minded and not picky. Oh, also to share with you all if you know I have twitter and I made a new account just for my photography interest called AnnasAngle. Recognize the name? I chose the name to go with my photoblog. I am so creative. I still need to make those two blogs. That is my goal for tomorrow or this week sometime.

My dogs are all well. I need to groom Lady this week since she is the only one still all fluffy. Plus she has some little mats that need to come out. Princess is still limping a little but since she is using it still I am not too worried. If it continues I might end up taking her to the vet to make sure it will heal properly. Oliver is happy as ever. Just being his bouncy curious self.

Do you like the flowers? I took this photo yesterday along with a few others. I liked how this one came out. The only real part I do not like is the gray road in the background. Besides that I think it came out pretty nice. Please critique and comment your opinions about it. Hope you all had a good weekend and are ready for the week ahead. I am ready to take some bicycle rides and more photography. I will talk to you all soon. I hope you enjoy my post and peace out.

Beautiful Saturday

July 18, 2009 – 9:43 pm

Beautiful FlowerHowdy everyone. Its been a beautiful Saturday which is great. This morning we came up to the cabin and dropped off the two photos for the state fair photo contest. Do not worry I have the photos ready to share with you soon. It is lovely up here and I am happy. Not too hot and with blue clear skies. Thier is a perfect breeze blowing through the trees right now. I do not have a sinus headache anymore and I am feeling good overall.

Since it was lovely weather today I just had to spend some time outside. I took a few photos of flowers and my mother I need to edit still. Besides that I walked the dogs and then relaxed in my room working on some social media things on the internet. Tonight for dinner my mom and I went to Friendly’s for dinner and I had my usual chicken strips basket that was so yummy. Now I am home and chillin and surfing the net. My poor Princess is still in pain with her hurt foot but she still wants to chase those cats.

Isn’t this a great photo? I do not remember where I took this flower but I think it was in my mom’s garden. Anyways, its such a great photo and I hope you enjoy it. Please let me know what you think about it. Critique any of my photography. Any advice helps. I do hope you all had a great Saturday and enjoy your night. Stay safe and happy. Peace.

TGIF!

July 17, 2009 – 8:03 pm

White Princess NoseI know everyone is excited that it’s Friday and I you should be. My friday was long and slow. Not like I did anything but last night I had a really bad sinus headache and I could not sleep. I was up the whole night and today. I could of passed out a few hours ago but I did not want to waste the day sleeping. I am so thick headed and stubborn. Anyways, besides that I did chores around the house and worked with social media stuff on the computer. That was my exciting Friday.

Tomarrow morning my mom, the dogs and I are going up to the cabin. On the way there we are dropping off two photos I took for a photo contest at the State Fair in August. I will make a post with the two photos that I entered into the contest soon. Another thing is I have not started either of the two blogs yet. Maybe I will do that this weekend at the cabin if I can still “barrow” internet up there. I think for the social blog I am gonna call it aivztech. I mean yea its not like a simple title but it represents me. I am stick thinking and always taking more ideas.

Like the photo? Its my special girl Princess. Look at that adorable big pink nose she has. I love her so much. She was on my bed and I did a whole set of her but this was really the only one I liked. Yes, I am very picky with photos. I can take a hundred photos and only keep ten. Just the way I am. Which is not bad when it comes to photography because all I want is the best. So it was dark but I brightened it and I like the look. Let me know what you think. I hope you all have a fun safe weekend and TGIF! Peace.

Hot Humid Thursday

July 16, 2009 – 3:46 pm

Pretty FlowerHey everyone. Its one hot and humid rainy Thursday here in New Jersey. Surprisingly I woke up around six thirty in the morning which is very rare for me. I am a night owl which means I am up real late and sleep til ten or eleven in the morning. After my mother left for work I took Oliver and Lady for a walk. Then I came back and took Princess for a shorter walk because her foot is still hurting her from chasing a chipmunk in the backyard the other day. She is a hunter of the pack. Besides that I have just been doing some chores around the house and relaxing trying to stay cool.

What else…

Well, I am hoping to start my dog blog today and my social media technology blog today or tomarrow. My dog blog is going to be called Dog Dog Doggie and I have not decided on the social media blog yet. I was thinking maybe aivztech, techgurl101, technet or something else. If you have any ideas for a name for the social technology internet blog please share. I love suggestions. Also, I have been thinking about how I need to record more videos for youtube. I have been slacking on that and seriously need to get back to it. So, also if you have any ideas for videos please share.

Lastly, this photo was taken at the cabin in my mothers garden bed. Isn’t it pretty? Just bold and beautiful. I like the composition depth of field (DOF). Well, that’s all for now. Stay cool and safe and I will talk to you all soon I hope. Peace.

Hosta Wednesday

July 15, 2009 – 5:35 pm

Hostas So, this Wednesday has been going pretty well. Its a sunny clear day. This morning I woke up with Princess next to me which was lovely since she usually sleeps under my bed during the summer. She probably was on my bed because I groomed her yesterday so she does not have as much hair as she use to. Poor girl but she is looking good still.

After a little while from waking up I took my usual long bicycle ride on the path through some parks I am near. It takes about two hours total to go from my house to the end of the path and back again to my house. Its probably around 20 miles I bike ride. My mother got this little gadget to track how many miles I go but we haven’t attached it yet to my bicycle. It was a good ride. Not too many people out on the path because its during the week. I got home and felt refreshed and relaxed.

Summer is going well. Not a very hot summer yet but that is fine with me. Its hot but not mad hot. The weather is not bad. Some serious thunderstorms but mainly lovely weather.

The photo of these hostas was taken awhile ago but just opened it and edited it. Isnt it lovely?

Its amazing how lovely nature is. Just so beautiful and free. So many interesting plants to photograph and enjoy. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and I will post again soon with more photos. Peace.

Photo Class Top 4

July 8, 2009 – 6:48 pm

I know I haven’t posted in awhile which I seriously need to get back to doing more often. I have been busy and just plain lazy. Summer days getting to my head. Okay, so anyways. I am doing this three day photography class which is fun and good practice for me. Monday was the first class and I took 85 photos and printed out my top four favorites. Today was my second class and the two teachers who were two of the judges at the photo contest I entered for my town like them. I just thought I would share them with all of you and get your comments and critiques about them. Enjoy
