Picture of the day #4

Well....here I am at day number 4 of posting pictures. I got out and took some pictures yesterday.....but forgot to bring my card with me (I'm at work right now). Luckily...I do have some photographs on my work computer. Below is one that I took back in October of the sun setting. I love the star effect.....it's all real...no photoshoping done, other than to straighten the photo and to make it smaller.

Before and After Picture of the day #3

Today will be a " before and after". I've been trying to learn some different Photoshop Techniques. I'm sharing a photograph that I took a few weeks ago.  My model is, Oz (my daughter's dog). He's a happy and wonderful dog, but as you see in the picture he looks a bit sad.....I don't think he likes having a camera pointed at him.

Picture of the day...No. 2

I'm off to a good start......day number 2 and I'm posting again. LOL !

One of my neighbors is putting in a dock. The pile driver came back to finish up. I hope their dock lasts for many, many years.In the past I've seen ice destroy a few docks in the river.

Finally Posting again.......

Wow, it's been 4 months since I've posted anything. It's been a crazy past few months in my house (which I'll get into some other time). 

Today.....I decided I would give myself a challenge......which will be to post one picture a day. I will give it my best effort to take a picture a day and post it the following day. Since, I didn't even get the camera out yesterday...I'm going to post a picture that I took a couple of weeks ago.

Wish me luck on my challenge !

In Memory of my Dad

My dad passed away on January 2 after a 4 month battle with many health issues. My father expressed that he didn't want the traditional memorial service/burial. My family decided that we would have a cookout in memory of him at the end of this month. We will have plenty of food, many friends and share lots of Bob isms. In honor of my dad, I've created a collage (I'm in the process of doing another one, as well). Though it was a little sad to put this together, it was also fun to look back at all the photos and remember all the wonderful times we had together. I sure do miss him. Love Ya Dad !

And the winner is .....................

I recently entered a blog giveaway at http://tskdesign.blogspot.com for beautiful copper earrings handcrafted by Tim Kline of Coast Chimes . Much to my surprise I actually won! It's been over 25 years since I've won anything. I received the earrings on Monday....and was again surprised...they are absolutely beautiful. Not only does he create beautiful jewelry, Tim's windchimes are amazing.

I love all of the earrings !

Sandscaping !

I've neglected this blog recently....as always there's something else to do. This is going to be a quick post today.

At any rate, for those of you that I've told about my my little beach project. Here it is in full color.
