Reflection of Trees

Reflection_of_treesIts getting colder and colder here in Jersey. I am not happy about it either. Please make the warm weather come back. I am missing it. Oh my gosh. Do you wanna know what I heard? Its already snowing in Colorado. Eww. I definately not ready to hear about snow yet. That should not hit us yet for awhile. Hopefully.  Time to turn on the heat and curl up in a blanket.

Tonight my mom and I watched The Office. It is one of my favorite television shows. Just funny and suprising. I am so happy. Pam and Jim got married tonight. it was so sweet and funny. If you watch the show you know who I am talking about. If you do not watch the show I recommend you catch up and start. Its just one of those shows you like it or hate it. You understand it or it confuses it. Ah, I love Thursday night comedy.

Yay, its almost Friday! I have a four day weekend too! Yup. I have Monday and Tuesday off. Monday is Columbus Day and Tuesday is some kind of teachers day. I am excited. Do not really have any big plans yet except for Sunday. We are going to close up the cabin for the winter. My mom and I will make a nice day out of it. Do fun things this weekend. Maybe some clothes shopping. Maybe put more blonde streaks in my hair again. We will see what the weekend brings us.

Reflections. They make some awesome photographs. I took this awhile ago and just love the reflection and composition. What do you think? Anyways, I am going to relax and enjoy the rest of the night before sleeping. Listen to some music and surf the net a little bit. Just relax because I finished my homework. Hope to talk to you all soon. Let me know what you think of the photo. 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.

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.

Hot Monday

bloomingHello. It is sure hot here in New Jersey today. No rain. At least not yet. So, my mom is going to try to get the lens cloth tomorrow so I can clean my camera and hope that does it. If that does not fix the mark then I am going to be pissed.

I listened to Daughtry all day long. I heard every song on the album about ten or twenty songs. They are great songs. I love all music really. Anything that has a good beat. I am not picky about genres. I like country, pop, metal, rock, alternative and anything else that sounds good to my ears. Some of my favorite bands and singers are Pink, Daughtry, Avril Lavigne, Evanescence, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, Nightwish, Within Temptation, Beyonce, Brad Paisley, Gary Allan, Melissa Etheridge, BarlowGirl and so many others. The list can go on and on and on.

This photo is older but it is one of my favorites. Its during spring time and its our dog wood tree blooming. It has great depth of field in my opinion. What do you think?

I hope you all had a nice Monday and stay cool. I will talk to you all soon. Stay happy and safe. Peace.

Gray Go Away

Dark_Gray_Sky_TreesThe weather has been cloudy and rainy for about two weeks now and I am sick of it. It is causing me to have a massive sinus headache which kept me up all night with no sleep last night. Plus it is not helping my depression I have. Once in awhile the sun shines through the clouds and I get excited that the dark thick clouds are going to move away but then the sun dissapears again. Gray sky please turn into bright blue sunny sky.

I miss taking long bicycle rides in the park and going on long photography walks around the area. I want to take the dogs to the dog park but do not want to risk and go and then it starts pouring on us. Hopefully the sun will shine and stay shining soon.

I am done with all my finals. Finished them yesterday which History was my last one. I am not sure how I did. I am hoping I did okay. Today was a half day and all we did was sit and enjoy our last day in half of the classes we have. Tomarrow is a half day of school too and we go to the other half of classes we take. Also, it is the last day of school before summer time which is very exciting. Then I am a senior. Top dog. Ruler of the school.

I have been working on my photography in photoshop and came across this photo I havent edited yet. So I decided to fix it up and put it as the blog photo because it is dark and gloomy. That is what I have been seeing in the sky for awhile now.

I am going to work on more photography. Lets hope the weather gets better so I can go on more photography walks. Especially, since I am going to my cabin in the country this weekend. Peace.

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.
