Day 174 - Eggs in a Basket


Literally! I sat on the couch tonight without an ounce of creativity left inside of me. Do you ever wander around your house just looking for something to photograph? I was too tired to even wander. I sat on the couch and mentally wandered around the house without moving. I finally came up with this idea. It was all I could do not to dig into my archives and cheat again. Now, if you will excuse me I need to go use the rest of my energy to go put the eggs back in the fridge. :)

Blog Reading Made Simpler - A MUST READ!

This is so awesome I had to dedicate an entire post just to tell you about my discovery today!

Oh my stars! Let me just say....my blog reading life just got SOOO much simpler. I follow a lot of blogs (104 right now but it's about to be more)...so many that I had to spend way too much time trying to catch up on all the recent blog posts I hadn't read yet. I even had to stop following some blogs because it got to be too overwhelming for me and I was spending more time on the computer reading blogs than I cared to. I had to go to my Dashboard, scroll down to my Reading List of blogs I follow and then click on one post at a time. I even got creative and I would click on one which would open in a new tab and then while it loaded, I would go back to my blogger tab and click the next one and so on and so forth till I had about 20+ tabs open with all the posts I hadn't read yet of all the bloggers I follow. Are you totally relating with my problem right now? Well, guess what! There is a solution. Prepare to give me a cyber-hug because the link I am about to give you will change your blog reading forever!

You MUST go visit iheartfaces post on this very subject. Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to let iheartfaces introduce you to The Land of Next.

You can hug me by going to the Circle of Moms button at the top right hand corner of my page and voting for me. :)

Since no post is complete without a photo, here ya go...

Homesick
The colors and the selective focus in this photo are just brilliant. It just pops!


I love the black and white conversion on this. The delight on her face is so endearing and the details of the water splashing is incredible.

Insane details! Birds are not always easy to capture but this shot of this Juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-Heron is exceptional.


What really stuck out to me the most in this photo is the way the gorilla is framed in this picture. Most people would either center him or put him to the left or to the right in a horizontal frame. Artistically framed, simple background causing your eye to go straight to the intended subject.

My #1 Favorite Photo this week is....



I just smiled contentedly when I saw this picture. Such a peaceful shot. Jamie has so much talent. You all really need to go by and pay her blog a visit and follow her. She has a great eye for some wonderful photos. Congratulations, Jamie on photographing my favorite photo of the week.


Look for the next contest this Friday! Can't wait to see all your artistic displays.

Day 172 - Mourning Dove


I rushed home tonight to try to get a picture real quick before I completely lost all the daylight. So glad people keep these seed bowls out and so thankful for my 200mm lens. Imagine the shots I could get with a 400mm! Someday...
