Day 299 - Unremarkable

No computer, and the only pictures are from my iPhone.  Today was just cleaning, cooking..and laundry for everyone.  No fun.  Not much of a Saturday.  Hard to believe it is this time in the evening and don't know where the day has gone.

Time to write this day off early and hope for a better tomorrow.  Day 299 was unfortunately unremarkable.

Not Promising....

Day 289 - Night Swim

Tried playing with the "night" scene feature of my camera tonight.

Day 288 - Top of the Hill

Went out for my morning run. I got to the top of the hill and noticed how beautiful the sky was with the sunrise.  So I ran home, jumped in my car and returned with my camera.  It was worth it, but I do hope I get to finish that run today sometime!

Day 287 - The Buck (and the doe) Stops Here!

This morning, as I was returning in the dark from my run, a large buck and a doe were laying in my front yard.  Had no camera with me.  However, as I left for work, they were still there and both stopped at the top of my driveway for a "photo opportunity".

Day 286 - Catching the Moment

I took this picture mid-morning at the park.  I liked the way the sunlight was lighting this flower.  I used my 55-200 mm lens which was all I had handy.  Within minutes of taking this picture, the flower was completely in the shade. 

Day 285 - Candy Cocktail

I haven't done a great job keeping up with my weekend "Photo Challenges", but I am going to kick off the weekend back into gear.  The http://photos.vfxy.com/themes/ challenge this week is "CANDY".  I found these lovely licorice candies today for my husband at Sprouts.  Being that I wasn't able to sleep, I thought I would shoot some pictures.  The backlight in this picture was my laptop screen.  I liked the effect that the backlight had on the glass.  I edited the photo with a little "soft focus".

Day 284 - Dancing Purple Lights

Playing with some of the settings on my new camera focusing on some purple mini-lights.
Going to take some time getting use to some of the new features, for sure!

Day 283 - After the Swim

I just love this picture that I took tonight at the swim meet of one of my favorite people after a long swim. 

Day 282- Texture

-

Day 281 - First Love

Today, my new D7000 came in.  I thought it would be fitting for the first picture I took from this camera would be of my Nikon D60.  Some people ask if I was going to sell this camera, and I am not sure how I could.  This camera is amazing and selling it would be like selling a part of myself.  So, my D60 will remain in my camera bag (and used) for years to come!

Day 280 - Time Passing

So many time constraints that we live with.
My twenty year-old alarm clock has been a part of it all.
I wanted a new alarm clock to sync my iPhone, but I think I will stick with the tradition
of this simple clock who has been by my bedside for so many years.
