About Me

My photo
I am usually typing on a computer most of the day, but today I am trying my hand at a new project: My 2011 365-Day Photo Journey. I gained a love for photography when I was required to take a fine arts class for college--I chose photography. The course required a lot of work--Professor Loehr saw to that--but it opened my eyes to a new world. It's been many years since I took that class and I don't know how much I actually remember, but following Laura Delagal's 365 Photo Journey and watching my niece's love for taking pictures has peeked my interested in photography again. Although I don't have a professional camera, I did receive a really nice Sony digital (point-and-shoot) camera from my sweetie for Christmas this year. Going through some difficult times in my life, I thought that undertaking my own 365-day photo journey might be a way to relieve a little stress and have some fun with my new toy. Through this journey I will capture some of life's joy and its pain, but I will also be able to refocus the lens of my life on the many wonderful things that God has created. Well, here goes. Wish me luck!

Day 147 - May 27, 2011




These pictures blurred a bit because Tucker was most definitely in motion.  I didn't think to change the setting on my camera to a motion setting, not that it could have handled that much motion (because it could not have--this camera just doesn't really have those types of settings; well, it does, but it doesn't handle but the slightest motion.  The same with the "macro" setting.).  My daughter Kelly and I had been watering some plants and Tucker decided he wanted to drink from the hose, so he was jumping up in front of the nozzle to drink water from the hose.  He would jump up over and over and over and over . . . it was so funny.  So even those he's not in focus, I thought you might get a kick out of seeing this crazy dog jump up to drink water from the hose--I know we did!  :-)

P.S.  Thanks for all of your well wishes.  Praise the Lord, I am feeling much better today, with only a mild headache remaining.  I stayed off the computer all day today and a good yesterday.  I think that, plus sleeping in a good bit (and the meds) helped--not to mention the prayers of all of my friends.  Thanks!

  2. Love the second photo! It's hilarious :)
    I see that you really could use some rain - not too much longer and our grass probably will look the same with that heat.
