waterscapeIts been a rainy day here. Seems like every time I look out the window the street is wet from rain or I hear raindrops hitting my air conditioner. That is okay though. Rain is good for the earth. It makes everything thrive on life. Anyways, did you all here or see that I made my flickr a pro flickr account now? I thought it was time to. Just have so many images to share. Do not worry I will still be posting my best and favorite photos here. Just have so many photos to share with you all I need a place to do so. That means I will probably adding photos to my flickr daily. Make sure to check it out and add me as a friend if you use flickr. Hope you enjoy all my photos.

So, I have off tomorrow which is great. Its a Jewish holiday so our school is closed. It is always wonderful to have a day off. Especially, a Monday. I do have to write a paper though for History which will be lots of fun fun fun (sarcasm). Discovering a lot of good songs right now and looking at some great photography across the internet. By the way, do you like the photo? i took it one day while walking through the park. Just thought the lighting was so cool. Let me know what you think. Please critique. Hope you all had a nice weekend and i will talk to you soon. Peace.

The Jersey Chills

tree_wordsWhy run through life when you can walk? Life may be short but there is so much to take in before its gone from us. If you run through life you will miss the beauty in it. You will miss the little sudden changes in nature and life itself. Take your time through life and you will cherish everything more. Run and you might miss something and regret it when its too late. Do not hesitate to live. Life is short and you only have one. So, get out there and do what you like and do not let yourself be held back by anyone or anything.

Ah cool weather here in Jersey. Its been in the sixties here which is kinda chilly but not too bad. You can tell summer is gone and fall is here. Noo! Well, I may not like the cold that much but its great to see the seasons change. Great time to take photos. So, a question just came to my brain to ask you all. Do you like cold weather or warm weather better?

Look at this tree. I took this one day while walking through the park with Princess. As you can see it says Ann and if it had an a at the end it would of been my name. I thought it was just a pretty cool tree with the words to photograph. Something you do not see everyday. Anyways, its a great night to just surf the net and play with Callie. I have my music playing and right now the song Obsessed by Mariah Carey is on. Ah, I just love music so much. So, I hope you all had a nice Saturday and I will be on if anyone wants to chit chat. Peace.

Changing of Cravings

car_garden

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!

car_garden_09

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.

Lady come back!

Tree_Stump_MushroomsWhat a lovely Sunday it has been. Sunshine and warmth. You all know what I like to do in that kind of weather. Photography and some good outdoor exercise. So, I took Princess and my camera on a walk today through the park. We did not do sixteen miles like last time but we went pretty far. Took some photos and actually kept most of them. I can be really picky when it comes to picking my photos to keep. If I take a hundred photos I can end up keeping only five to ten of them. It really depends what I capture and if it comes out clear and stunning.

Lady. The sneaky escape artist of the pack. So, around six or seven tonight I was up in my room and I hear my mom yelling Lady Lady Lady! She usually steals things from the kitchen but did not hear any words that sound like she stole something. So, I rushed downstairs and I went to the backyard and my mom was rushing around saying Lady escaped the yard. So I jumped my backyard fence to figure out which way she went. Then my mom comes around and saw her in our backyard neighbors backyard so she grabbed her.  Good thing she did not get far.

The reason Lady escaped. Alright, so our neighborhood is filled with kids and mostly little boys who love to run around. So, the big game of the neighborhood is manhunt. I am not explaining the game but lets just say it has to do with running all over the place. Boys love going through our yard to get to another street faster. The problem with that is we have fencing up to keep the dogs in the yard. Well, the boys broke through some rope that kept part of the fence closed. Big problem is Lady is really good at finding escape routes. So, she found the broken rope and escaped. Boys stay out.

Let me share something with you all. As you all know my dogs are my world. They are my happiness and I love them to bits. If my dogs ever escape and get seriously hurt or killed because of kids who do not listen I am seriously going to sue. Do not mess with me and my dogs. I will raise hell. I am telling you if I catch some of these boys in my yard again I am going to give them a serious talk. Then they can go crying home and tell their parents why I was mean to them. Their parents can come to me and be upset but I am not going to let these kids put my dogs at risk of getting hurt. I know that sounds harsh but that is how I am when it comes to my dogs.

Moving on. I love walking through the park. It is very shaded with woods surrounding the path with a river on one side. While walking I came across this tree trunk that had awesome mushrooms growing on it. Just had to take a photo of it. I could not resist. What do you think the photo? Like it? Dislike it?

Oh, please tell me tomorrow is not Monday already. Ugh, hope the night does not zoom by. I am going to enjoy every minute of tonight before I have to go to school tomorrow. Lets see what shall I do. I am going to listen to some music. Maybe, add more songs to my ipod. Also, I am going to surf the internet and read some news. Then pass out in a few hours. It looks like its going to be a nice peaceful night. Hope to talk to you all soon and hope you all had a nice weekend. Peace.

Moving Forward from 9/11

black_eyed_susans_09As everyone knows today was the day of the attacks in New York City in 2001. I am not going to talk about it because I believe we should all move forward with it. Yes, lets remember all the people who lost their lives and were heroes but we do not need to keep making such a big deal out of it. Moving forward is the most important thing for this country. Lets not hold on to hate and fear. We must be strong and we will make it. If we grieve always because of what happened in the past we will never move forward. We will never forget the ones who lost their lives on 9/11 but we must take steps forward and continue doing so. Rest in peace all the lives lost on 9/11. You will never be forgotten.

Black eyed susans. Such great flowers to photograph. These black and yellow flowers just are so bold and so addicting to photography. Anyways what do you think of this photo? Like the composition? Like the depth of field? What do you dislike? Anything? Let me know. Anyways, I am going to relax. I am very happy that it is Friday. TGIF! I am going to listen to some music and surf the internet some. Hope to talk to you all soon. Peace.

red_flower_09I stayed home sick today. Got a bad cold and a bad sinus headache. The cold is getting better at least. You know what I did all day? I watched movies on my imac. I watched seven movies. Thats a record for me in one day. I rocked the movie world today. Lets see. I watched Black Dog, Cry Baby, Final Destination 4, Shadowheart, Bitten, Prayers for Bobby and The Horse Boy. It was lots of fun and got lots of rest.

What do you think of it? Anyways, I am going to rest and listen to some music and then get some sleep. I hope you all had a nice day. Hope to talk to you all soon. Peace.

The Long Walk

DSC_0003I accomplished the long long long walk with Princess today. It was around sixteen miles in total and took us about six hours but we did it! Let me tell you though, my legs and feet are killing me. I can barely walk right now. By tomorrow I bet I wont be able to walk at all. Crazy me just put my head to it and accomplished it. I was not just going to go half way. I had to go the whole way. It was really nice out though. Perfect weather for it. Not too hot. Princess and I met lots of friendly dogs and people. Amazingly, Princess walked well the whole way there and back. She has really strong legs. She and I drank lots of water to keep hydrated. Yay, we accomplished it! Oh no I aint doing that again anytime soon. Maybe on the bicycle because that is my usual bicycle route I took. It was fun fun fun.

I took this photo on the walk today. Just lovely lighting and was resting my feet for a few minutes. The path runs a long a river which makes it lovely. Plus, it has lots of trees to keep cool. Let me know what you think of this waterscape I captured. Anyways, I am relaxing. Going to blast some music and just rest my feet. I will talk to you all soon. Hopefully, I will be able to walk a little bit tomorrow. Peace.

First Day of School

flowersOhhh, the first day of school. It was not too bad but it was not good. Well, I am sorry it is school. Nothing can make school good to me. Unless, I did not have to do any work or homework but then it would not really be considered school. Anyways, I am fine with all the teachers I have and alright with the classes. Just not looking forward for the work but at least it is senior year. I will succeed this year. Woot!

So, look at these pretty flowers I took. They are so pretty in my garden. It is sad how summer weather will soon come to the end but enjoy it while it lasts. Enjoy the flowers and summer smells before winter takes over. Anways, I am going to listen to some music and then probably pass out. I got to get up early again so I will need a little rest. Enjoy your night and I will talk to you all soon. Peace.
