C is for Clock
Today for ABC Wednesday I'm posting a local clock. I took this photo yesterday.
No, I didn't tamper with it, photoshop, anything. That is really what it said yesterday.
WOW!
Keep Cool!!!

Look What I Just Found!!!
Why am I just now figuring this out??!? I am so slow sometimes.... *sigh*
If you can't see it very well, it is a screen shot from Photoshop Elements. I went to File; New; Photomerge Panorama. I can make a panorama and keep the high quality of the photo in the process!! The problem I had with autostitch that I used previously was that it reduced the resolution of the image. If you tried to enlarge it, you got all blur....
So today, I turned these:
Into this:
And it was EASY!!!! Hooray!
Happy Tuesday Everyone!!

August Break
Because August is when school starts back up around here and I always get overwhelmingly busy, I am going to try participating in the August Break this year. I think I started doing this part way through August last year....
Anyway, just a few lines and a photo or two each day. I'm not going to stress out about getting posts while I figure out where to fit blogging into my new school schedule. :)
Last night we took this daughter out to eat for her birthday. She is now officially a teenager! Happy Birthday Sweetheart!! Love you! :)
She and dad always play VERY competitive games. This one she calls Squares, but I don't know what it's official name is..... It looks like this.
They work hard to WIN! It's very serious business! haha!

Have a great Monday!

FMTSO - Pink!!
As I read the theme for this week's shoot-out, I knew exactly where I would go!
The them this week is pink, and there is a building in town that I personally think qualifies!
Check this out:
Check out those windows! They sure look pink to me.
I also went for a drive with my daughter in the Potwin area of Topeka. In this neighborhood, there are wonderful old Victorian homes that have been restored and look beautiful. I thought we might find pink there.
So Lovely! How amazing are those?!? I have always loved Victorian homes. :)
Then, as we were driving, my daughter (the one with a birthday this weekend) grabbed the camera and shot these pink things.
I wasn't as convinced as she was that the truck is actually pink, but she wanted to get it anyway. We were driving so it's a little blurry....
Then, before we headed home, we had to take advantage of one of my favorite things - Happy Hour at Sonic. As we were in the drive through, we spotted this sign.
Perfect end to a relaxing afternoon outing! To see the PINK in other towns around the world, check out the shoot out page!

We are enjoying the overcast skies today - our high is only expected to get up to 91 degrees this afternoon. What a relief!! It is so surprising to me what a 10 degree difference makes!
Have a wonderful Friday!
Much Love,

B is for Bokeh
Obviously, I wasn't able to post yesterday, but I don't want to miss out on the ABC Wednesday!! This week is the letter B, so I am choosing Bokeh.
In photography, the word bokeh is used to describe the blurred portion of the photo. Remember last week when we learned that Aperture produces a difference in Depth of Field? Bokeh is the term we use for the area of the photo that is out of focus.
Here are some examples from my own photography. Sometimes the bokeh is supposed to be pleasing to the eye, and sometimes there's something important going on there. :)
I would really like to get better at finding opportunities for beautiful bokeh in my photographs.
If you'd like to see more, I posted this one for Friday My Town Shoot Out a couple weeks ago: The Letter B!

Crochet Project
I've been feeling "crafty" lately and wondering what to do. While looking around the internet for various things, I found a great pattern for a sweater! I had some yarn at the house, so I dove in!
My daughter generously took these photos of my hands. She crawled up behind me on the couch and took the pictures over my shoulder. It would be an excellent way to create a tutorial!
After several of the motifs are finished and linked together to make the upper part of the sweater, work starts on the lower half.
Here's what the finished project is supposed to look like along with a link to the pattern (in case anyone is interested.)
Have a fabulous Tuesday! :)
