Looking Out

Maybe....just maybe....Lady Luck knows what she is talking about. Yet another awesome sunrise of which I caught just the tailend (with my camera that is). The drive in was breathtaking. The sun had an orange hue to it that I had not seen...or atleast don't remember having seen it in the past. Another ride in to work making me regret having to come in...when I would much rather have been somewhere else...stopped on the side of the road...in a spot to allow me to capture that which Mother Nature provides that just can't seem to be captured (atleast not by me) on a camera.

And then....of course....the highlight of it all....the first afternoon of the season that was a 'must have sunroof open' during ride home kind of day. This...makes all the long winter memories be just....that....memories.

So maybe Lady Luck knows what she is talking about.

A 'Wider' View

I did purchase that wide angle lens prior to my Belgium departure yet I used it barely 15 minutes while I was on my trip....a result of a much too rushed site seeing trip. I lucked out and purchased it used from someone that decided they just weren't a 'wide angle' type photographer. Of course....that had me a bit concerned as to the justification for my purchase. It came in use if even just for those 15 minutes while in Belgium but I refuse to just 'let it sleep' for any amount of time. As all other lenses do...it brings it's own point of view to my 'album' of photos. Lexi really isn't as short and squatty as this picture may depict....although....her paws and head are quite large but not so disproportianately as it seems here. I believe, in the end, that I will find much use for this 'wider' view in my future photo shots. So...I have to thank that person for...not being a wide angle photographer.

Ghastly....kind of Ghostly

There have been many times when I have arrived home to find a light on that I could swear up and down I turned off before I left, a door open that I am sure I closed, noises I hear that I can't figure out where it came from or what made it. Nights when sitting on the couch I have sat frozen to the spot as I watch my Lexi girl act as if there is something in the next room. So once in a for all...I had to ask the question as to the presence of...ghostly beings residing in my home of 1880. I was informed that there seems to be ....not one, or two...but four 'children' present...and quite comfortable with their surroundings. Okay...I'm okay with this. Really I am...as long as it continues to be as harmless as it is thus far. I was attempting to do the 100 step concept of creative photography as well as some further use from my new lens addition of a wide angle....and eerily enough resulted with this ghastly....ghostly view of the basement.
