Jewelry

I am following Kristen's suggestion to take a photograph each week based on a given theme. I have decided to start with this week's theme and work my way back to week one.

Isaac

So taking a turn in the nursery has its perks. The light is horrible, the rug is dirty, I haven't mastered my D40, but one takes the opportunities that arise. This is Isaac, a 7 month-old who is one of the happiest kids around. I know, I know...I should have taken a photo that captures his happy countenance.






Tweaked in photoshop which I also have not mastered.

Reflection

So I stayed up most of the night babysitting our pool pump during a rainstorm that dumped 7" in one night. It was awesome. On my way to the bathroom I saw this reflection. Yes, I know...a thorough dusting would be a welcome addition to the scene.

Messing with Gimp - not Kristen...the photo editing progam

James took us to San Juan Island and it was a feast for the eyes. I decided to edit this photo using Gimp. then I realized it is Paint and not Gimp but the title is almost clever and I'm sticking with it.



Perhaps I went a bit overboard with the editing. I changed it to B&W, messed with the contrast, added noise, and then sepia tone.

Scenes from the Strayer Homestead

Jon and Sherry recently acquired a new home and with it came all sorts of interesting things some living and others rusting.


I love the way this lone flower is blooming alongside this rusted saw.

I don't know what this is but I liked the texture.

Ditto.

Rustique

I love this old barn and the two rusted wash basins hanging on the side.
