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.

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.

Cabin Foods Weekends

An Early Friday Morning

June 26, 2009 – 7:42 pm

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.

Schools out for summer…schools out…not forever

June 25, 2009 – 9:16 am

bumble beeToday was my very last day of school as a junior and now glorious summer starts. I do not have any big plans for the summer of 09 yet. All I know is there is no school to attend and I can just have fun and enjoy life. This summer I am taking this photography class which is going to be fun. I am always happy to learn more about photography and the opportunities out there. My mother and I will be going up to the cabin a lot which will be fun. I love being out in nature and swimming in the lake. The dogs love the long walk or runs around the lake when we are up there. Summer time is here and I am ready to enjoy it!

So what do you think of this bumble bee photo? I took it today when the sun was out for a few minutes before it got cloudy again and started to rain. I was in the front yard looking at the colorful flowers with my camera and the macro lense attached and saw this opportunity to capture this busy bee. This is the first photo I took of a bumble bee before because they scare me. I rather stay as far away from bees, wasps and anything else that buzzes and stings.  I was thinking that this photo could of been better if the bee was not set right in the middle of the photo. Besides that I think this photo came out pretty nice.

Spring

Spring time is here!

May 25, 2009 – 12:43 am
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.
