My Everything Corner

There's not much to say this morning.  The weather is gorgeous, the timing is right, and the skies have put on an incredible display nearly every morning.  So even in January, I'm feeling energized. Bear is eager to continue our walk, but he tries to be patient with me. Dreamy... I like this one in B&W too, but the colors were just to pretty not to show.

I've been keeping my camera on the kitchen table, ready to go, for the last several days, trying to catch one of these rascals on 'film'.  I never get there in time.  I see them from the sink, move to the window, and by the time I'm in position, they flit off.  They move so fast, it's easy to think they are not wholly of this dimension. So, this morning, camera (and coffee) in hand, I pulled a chair up to the window, and waited.  Patience soon paid off, as before I could take 2 photos of one, a second little rascal showed up.  There was a bit of a tiff, but they settled on opposite sides, and had their fill.   I love the sciences, biology in particular.  I'm forever looking up names of plants and birds, interested in their biological classification.  Then doing further research into specifics concerning various feeding/growing habits, origin, etc.  I find it fascinating.  Why then, do you ask, am I not a biologist?  I considere...

I went through my photos and selected my favorite sky shots.  I can rarely resist grabbing my camera when the sky is producing a magnificent scene.  However, I rarely come out with photos that I am satisfied with.  Too bright, too dark, not enough detail and blurriness are common problems for me.  This past week, my husband was going through his computer stuff, a sizeable feat, and he came across an instructional disc that came with our camera.  I plan on watching it soon, and learning more about how to operate this wee beast.  I'm sure it holds lots of hidden secrets that will improve my photography.
