Today's color is...

...Blue
Blue skies smiling at me...

Here's a useless fact-1 out of 6 people have blue eyes...or 10% of the population.
Austin didn't think I was really taking picture...BOO-YA buddy boy!
This is the epitome of California...
Cloudless, blue skies...
A perfect day for flying.

Did you miss Pink yesterday?
Today's color is...

Today's color is...

...PINK

* I was never a pink girlie girl growing up. It hasn't been until very recently that I would even give it a 2nd look. But I'm thinking I could REALLY learn to love it!

Pink delicious-ness!


My Wellies!!
I made gluten free Double Cherry Streusel Bars...
OMG delicious!
Now...this is from my archives because I had no time for a new selfie with my pink wig and tu-tu!
Yeah...I think I'm lovin' this whole pink thing!
Happy Snapping!

I can see clearly now...

...the rain has gone.

* I LOVE the moment a storm clears out. All the trees and plants are bathed and cleared of dust and the sky is smog free...even if it's for a little while.  I love to fill my lungs with all that crisp, clean air.

Happy Snapping

The rain, rain, rain...

...came down, down, down...
* Happy St. Patty's Day friends! I've waited ALL week for my rainy day Saturday and I'm even listening to this...
Ohh C'mon now...you know you love a little Pooh Bear on a rainy day!
I've also waited to work on my b&w photo assignments for  
beyondlayers
Black & White photos draw me in almost faster than anything in color. They are so full of mystery and depth. I tend to find when I go to edit, a lot more detail comes out.

*When I was playing with different conversion, I found that I liked the the PSE conversion INFRARED. I've never used it before but I liked what it did.  I shot this with full diffused rainy day light, ISO 1000, f2.2, 1/60, applied some great scratch textures and it fit my mood on this blustery day. I tend to like the distressed look too for added drama.


* Hope you enjoy your day! Think I'm going to bake something.....!
P.S. If you are visiting from BL & have a Flickr acct.,  I'm not on Flickr anymore. I'm sorry I can't comment on your work. But please know I am looking!
Happy Snapping!

March 16...

...St. Patrick's Day Eve!

* I have something that is so flippin' easy to make it's just ridiculous! AND-it's applicable to any holiday.
Ok...
~Square Pretzels (I used Snyder's Snaps)
~Hershey's Hugs
~M&M's
Heat over to 200*
Place desired amount of pretzels on cookie sheet covered w/parchment paper.
Place a kiss atop each pretzel.
Pop in the oven for 4-5 minutes...the Kisses will look shiny.
Remove from oven & place an M&M on top of each Kiss & gently press down until Kiss spreads.
Cool in the fridge for 20 minutes...
Booya....Snacks fit for a hoard!
I told ya that was easy...Have I ever lied to you!!??
Happy Snapping!

Signs...

...of Spring

*I'm holding my breath because the internet has been all weird and this is the first opportunity to be able to post. I'm typing fast & furious before GooGle decides to flip out on me!
The Shutter Sisters - home are talking about signs of Spring and it's so abundant here. I love it. Not only are the trees starting to sprout but the scents of the season are sublime.
It's also texture Tuesday over at Kim Klassen cafe - 
....mmmmm~My Lavender! 
AND over at beyondlayers
we're doing a little experimenting with b&w, which I personally am drawn into. As much as I love vibrant colors, there's something mysterious about a photograph with black and white and shades of grey.
Happy Snapping
