Cabin Photography

A Hot Country Weekend

So, my mom, the three dogs and I spent the weekend up at the cabin for the first time this year. Lets say it did not start off the way we hoped. Since we do not go up during the winter we turn off the water. When my mom turned the water back on the water heater was pouring out all over the floor. Stuff was getting soaked and the dogs were trying to drink it. It was a hectic but thank goodness for a helpful neighbor who knew how to fix the problem.

Fall of the Country

CountryView_09

I cant believe its already Sunday night. Almost Monday morning. Time goes too fast sometimes. It would be nice if it was just Saturday night but sadly Monday is tomorrow. Monday. Ugh. Im dreading it. It is suppose to be in the sixties tomorrow which is not too bad. I wont be too cold. Just put my hoodie on and I will be okay. My hoodie is my best friend. Hehe. Oh wait. No its not. Music is my best friend.

Its been a fine Sunday. Did not do much. Did some research for a History paper and just hung out at home. I watched Desperate Housewives with my mom which was nice. Eh, we get along. Most of the time. Hehe. Mothers job is to annoy. Its what they are good at. Haha. Anyways, like the photo? Its a nice fall photo I took yesterday in the country. Well, I am going to relax and play that funky music. Dance in my chair and talk to people. Its what I do best. Well, besides photography. Stay warm and enjoy the fall. Just dont actually fall because I might not catch you. Lol. Peace.

Changing of Cravings

You know all I have been drinking lately is water. I buy a water bottle at school which lasts the whole day and then when I come home I drink about one or one and a half bottles of water til I go to sleep. My cravings change every few months or so. I mean I still like vitamin water but I just do not drink it. It is good once in awhile now instead of drinking one to three bottles of it a day. Water is my thing now. Its what tastes good to me right now.Plus, it is the best drink for me.

I am the same way with food also. I go through periods of liking something and then moving on to something else. Well, besides snickers. Snickers never gets old. Same thing with pasta. I could eat pasta everyday and never get sick of it. But, the problem with that is it is not the healthiest thing for me to eat. Sometimes I have a craving for a ham sandwich that lasts maybe a week or a few but then I can not eat them anymore. I am strange but I am not picky with food really. If it is on my plate I will eat it most likely. Well, unless its something not appealing to my stomach. I sure love food. Food is so good!

Look at this car. Great way to display plants eh? I think so. When we were at the cabin we went to this wonderful farm with great plants and animals. Its one of my favorite farms out there. This farm is very popular during the Halloween season with all their pumpkins and costumes they have for sale. We walked by this car and just had to take some photos of it. What do you think?

Oh my its only Wednesday night. I do not know what it is but this week is just dragging by. Anyways, I hope you all had a nice enjoyable Wednesday. Mine was just a school day but I survived. I am going to listen to music. Maybe, make some things in photoshop or draw. I will see what I want to do. Then I will get nice and sleepy and crash. Talk to you all soon I hope. Peace.

John Deere HDR

John_Deere_HDRAs I mentioned in the last post I am going to start including more different photography content besides just my photography everyday. Going to add more variety of posts to this photoblog of mine. Do not worry though I will still do my personal daily photoblog post of a photo I have taken and how my day was. Lets get started. Lets make this blog rock even more!

John Deere is a well known by millions of people throughout the world. It seems like in every neighborhood you go to their is at least one person who is a John Deere fan. I am a fan myself. Just always been a John Deere gal. I do not use any of their equipment but it must be the country girl inside of me that attracts me to them. Just so country. A lot of people use small John Deere lawn mowers in cities too. So they are really everywhere. You can not hide from John Deere.

I came across these great HDR (High Dynamic Range Imaging) photos at this wonderful post, John Deere HDR Gallery a little while ago and just fell in love with these amazing photos. You go through them and you just have to say wow and look at them a few times. These photos gives you the feeling of a John Deere and maybe it will make you want one. If you already have one maybe it will make you want another one. I want one. Well, really I want a hundred of them. Lets all escape to the country and ride John Deere tractors all day all night long. John Deere you rock!

Laughin Lady

Right now I am up at the cabin and luckily I can still “borrow” my neighbors wifi which is awesome. Friday and Saturday were rainy with a little sun but today the sun is shining high in the sky. I took some photos yesterday before it started raining but I think I might take some more today. Also, I am going to walk run around the lake with Oliver. He loves that and it tires him out which is always good. Princess and Lady had a walk around the lake with my mom this morning so they are fine. Except, they are going to be upset that I am not taking them also. Too bad girls its Oiver time. That reminds me I still need to groom Princess and Lady. Well, I will do it at home this week.

Like the photo? I love this photo. This photo is Lady in action. Doesnt it look like she is laughing? She is so photogenic. I had this photo stored in my still need to edit photos folder and I was amazed how clear her teeth are. Thats what happens when you have hundreds of photos to edit. You forget what you take and just get stunned when its an amazing photo. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

This afternoon we are heading back home. Which means I am going to get some Dairy Queen ice cream on the way. The dogs will enjoy the car ride. I will post again soon. Have a wonderful safe sunday.

Cabin Foods Weekends

An Early Friday Morning

homemade_lil_pizza Goodmorning everyone. Its a nice friday morning and right now I am watching a busy squirrel on a wire outside my window. It amazes me how well they can balance on their little feet. I woke up at 6:45 which is rare for a non morning person like me but I am awake and decided to enjoy the morning life. The birds are chirping away all around the house. They sound so lovely and are great singers. I let the dogs out in the backyard and they were surprised that I was the one letting them out instead of my mom.  Oliver looks so cute and small with his summer haircut I gave him yesterday. Do not tell my two other dogs but I am bringing the clippers and other grooming supplies with me to the cabin so they can get their summer cuts too.

My mom, our three dogs and I are going to the cabin today for the weekend which will be nice and fun. I am going to take lots of photography and walks with the dogs around the lake. There is a lot more nature out there to photograph and enjoy. I love the country. Filled with wildlife and peacefulness. I will see if I have internet up there. I have been “borrowing” some from one of my neighbors. If I do not have internet up their it will be sad but I will have to wait til sunday evening to post again.

The photo is of a little home made pizza I made last night for myself. It looks good doesn’t it? Well it was really yummy.  I can cook some things. Pizza, pasta, soup, pasta, cookies and pasta.

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend if I do not talk to you during it. Stay happy and healthy.

Spring

Spring time is here!

Pear Tree Blooming
Pear Tree Blooming

Right now I am sitting on the porch at our cabin listening to the birds and neighbors chit chatitng away. My mother is next to me reading a book and listening to neighbors. What a snoop!  Really I am the snoop of the family. Plants and flowers are blooming in every direction you look. My three dogs are napping around me. I saw a wild cat that was young and had beautiful markings. It is probably a kitten we saw last year. The cat looked pregnant so there might be kittens soon romping around. I have country music playing on the television. I sure love the country life. It is always wonderful to get away from the busy non stopping life in the suburbs.

The photo is a pear tree at our house. Blooming beautiful flowers and now their are pears all over it. We do not use pesticides so that means bees come around and pollinate the tree. When the pears get bigger the squirrels steal them from us. Those darn squirrels are always so hungry.

Today I will be doing some gardening for my mother. Getting close to nature is always such a wonderful experience. The only thing that makes me shiver are the bees buzzing around me. I hope I do not get stung today.

Its memorial weekend so do not forget to put your flags out. I have mine hanging outside. My grandpa was a veteran of WWII. Also, do not forget all the soldiers out there right now fighting to protect our country. They risk their lives for us.

Enjoy your weekend and look around and appreciate all the things around you.
