My new venture: Day 13

So my new venture is to really really figure out my Adobe Photoshop computer editing program that I have had for more than a year. To accomplish this I purchased two items....one is Jessica Sprague's Computer Tricks for Scrapbooking book, and another is an online course that starts Monday; an online 4 week video tutorial called "Up and Running with Photoshop". Very excited about getting proficient at photo editing!

Looking up: Day 5




Riding home from work, I looked up at the moon through my sunroof and gasped! The moon was almost in a total lunar eclipse...glowing orange..it was breathtaking. I took my camera, put my zoom lens on, and tried to capture it, with little success. It is beautiful, and I hope you are looking up tonight.

Sunday fun:Day two

Today's picture shows Taylor delivering a cake she made as a birthday present for her friend Kaylee, who is 16 today.

a year of pictures:Day one


Lyndsay and I have decided to try to complete a year of evenings...one picture from your day, posted on your blog...journaling optional. Anything goes....whatever we choose to share from our lives.
I have spent the last 16 hours away from home scrapbooking...so this is my picture. Technically it is posted past the hour of midnight...but so be it.
