INTO THE MIST

Fun shot to take. The fog was so thick this morning I could barely get the kids to school - this was taken at 11 AM and the fog still hadn't cleared off the lake. Made for a nice stark shot.

RAVEN

If you've been here before, you know my love of cemeteries and I've been a little obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe lately.  He was always one of my favorite poets, I've been writing a little more and it inspires me so when I came upon this at Oakwood Cemetery in Austin I couldn't help but snap this.  The Raven has always been one of my favorites.

Day 332: Sunday Afternoon

I don't usually post-process this much, but while I was totally going overboard when my husband walked in and said how much he liked it.  Hmm.  So I posted it.

Day 278: Not so cuddly

Beautiful granite, but nothing you want to cuddle up to, trust me.  I have a bump where I hit myself on the brass bow around its neck.

Day 233: Ticket booth

I wanted to go on a trip, but there were no trains today.

Day 232: Schoolhouse

Day 199: The Park

Obviously on a black & white kick.  I loved the difference in texture from color to black & white.  It totally changed the picture for me.

Day 182: Theme Thursday, RUST

Theme Thursdays are always fun, because it gives me the opportunity to shoot something someone else chooses.  There are days when I'm bursting with ideas and the shots fall into place and there are days I couldn't find a shot to save my life Ok, usually I gave up and left the camera at home then - BAM - there's the shot.  So today my assignment was rust.  Well, of course, I don't have any of that at my house so I went in search of it at a park that used to be a farm.  There was rust everywhere, but not exactly where I wanted it to be.  I wanted a rusty gate.  I found gates, but all were pretty and not rusted or painted iron.  I did find this which is my 9 year old's favorite:

There was some accidental processing that occurred with the top photo, but sometimes accidents surprise you.

Day 146: A story

The boys and I went for a walk.

We saw some beautiful things.

The Bluebonnets were up, but not quite blooming.

It's St. Patrick's Day.

They threw some rocks into the stock tank.

Upon reflection.....

It was a beautiful spring day.
