To Find the Perfect Photo You Need the Perfect Tools

Hopefully, once I learn how to use this wonderful new camera (Nikon D7000), my photos will be even better.

More Valentine Scavenger Photos

More things I love: My parents, reading and Pikes Peak!

More Valentine Scavenger Photos

One of the tasks was to find five photos of things you love. Well, I couldn't limit myself to just five things, so I created five collages. This is the first one: a collage of the men in my life.

Hearts

The task was to take a picture of a heart. It was Valentine's Day, so there were plenty of hearts around.  However, I noticed that the sliced strawberries I was having for lunch, looked like small hearts.

What do you think?

Valentine Sweets

Continuing with Valentine related photos - this is a picture of the wonderful desert we had on Monday. The item in color was a raspberry chocolate mousse inside a chocolate tulip. Delicious!

Pretty Posies

Love Photos

In honor of Valentine's Day, I will be posting love or Valentine's related photos. I've sponsored a Valentine's Photo Scavenger Hunt with some friends on Facebook.  The goal is to take 10 photos related to love/Valentine's - (Something pink, something with a heart, something red, a couple, flowers, five photos of things you love and as a bonus - a picture of something that you hate or maybe a Valentine Sucks photo.)  Even though we do this just for fun, the main rule is that it has to be a photo you or a friend took - you can't just collect photos off the internet.

This is the one I chose for the couple photo. My youngest son was kind enough to take the photo for me and with a little editing, I turned into a nice Valentine's Day photo.

Do you have any favorite photos you just love?

Ice

In addition to enjoying taking photos of snow, I like catching pictures of ice.  This is actually a photo of some icicles hanging off the bottom of my car. I edited a little to give it the look of a sketch instead of a photo.  I kind of like this one.

Snowscreen

I snapped this early on Tuesday, Feb 8th. It was a snow day for my school district. (One I really needed.) I should have been sleeping, but my internal clock (and my dogs) do not comprehend snow days.  This is a pattern of snow on my kitchen window.

Morning Bliss

I think this picture says it all. Without this the day just goes down hill quickly!

Flag - I Love Taking Flag Photos

I know I've been very lax about posting photos. Life is crazy. If you wonder why - check out one of my other blogs: In the Pink. Or you can just bear with me as I promise to try to be better about posting.

We've been getting a bit of snow lately.  This picture was taken out in Black Forest just before a book storm that blew in on January 31st.

The third one is the original shot. I think I like the one with the flag in color and everything else in black and white the best. What do you think?
