We Did It!

31 October 2007

Samhain - Celtic New Year

Happy Birthday, Kyle!  I LOVE YOU!

We did it!  We made it a whole year on this crazy daily photojournal blog-thing!  A photo a day—a blog a day.  What an insanely huge commitment . . . but we made it! 

Congratulations, honey.  And Happy Birthday!

The Floral Arrangement Wednesday, Oct 31 2007 

30 October 2007
This is perhaps not the most amazing photo I've taken this year, but nonetheless, I do quite like it. I am appreciating having a macro setting on my camera. It's allowing a style of photography that prior to this camera required a bit of setup and a whole lot of effort.

This is, again, one of Marita Beth's flower arrangements after returning home from TRF. John, or his arranger, puts together some really pretty sprays for Marita Beth.
Cheers.

Wall of Fog Wednesday, Oct 31 2007

Another bout of fog descended on Arlington on this Monday morning. But, only in certain areas. The bottoms certainly had their fair share of it, being essentially wetlands. This was a bank of fog that was suspended over a fork of the Trinity River that runs through the bottoms.

It was just as thick driving into it as it appears. Quite interesting really.
Cheers

Witchy Works Wednesday, Oct 31 2007 

28 October 2007
It was a very long day, but I think it was mostly due to the fact that I had a very long drive home still in front of me for that evening. The fact that every Sunday night after a long day of walking around drinking beer and eating fatty foods there remains a nearly 5 hour drive home, really wears one out. Luckily, Joseph was in new boots so wasn't quite as interested as normal in constant walking (thank goodness, my feet still were swollen and hurting from the previous days walking). So, we sat a bit, we talked a bit, we visited with a lot of people. It was, all in all, a very enjoyable day. Joseph got wrapped up in a conversation with some folks I didn't know, so I wandered off. Just about the time the nightly fireworks were starting. So, I headed up there, set my camera on Fireworks Mode and started taking photos. At one point, a "witch" walked in front of the camera giving me this lovely shot:
Fireworks
I love the way my little camera handles fireworks. Nearly all the photos I took were pretty darned decent.
Cheers.
