Ayme's Wedding

2009-08-08T14:34:00.002-05:00

What a beautiful wedding for a great couple. It was a hot summer day, but most didn't seem to mind. The wedding was at a lovely shady gazebo at Covington Woods Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Mariah and Joey

2009-07-20T19:01:00.003-05:00

Here's a sneak peak of the happy couple from this weekend. They are such a beautiful, loving couple. It was a pleasure to be part of their celebration of love and life.

Processing cute babies

2009-07-11T13:42:00.011-05:00

I've been following a free class at http://www.jessicasprague.com These are a few of my samples from the tutorials. She is great and provides easy to follow instructions and videos. In the 1st week we have done brushes, textures, frames, clipping masks and hand tinting. So far I love the classes and it is helping me get out of my processing rut. As usual I didn't follow her examples to the T and used my own touches here and there.

The babies are Camdyn and Cooper. I've done Camdyn's parents portraits from their engagement and wedding through maternity and now Camdyn's since birth These are her 9 month shots with her little buddy Cooper.

The picture of Austin is a 6 year old T ball player doing what they do best. Playing in the dirt.

This too shall pass......

2009-04-10T19:54:00.001-05:00

4/10/09
We've had a lot of storms in the area today. Some tornadoes to the south of us.
Chester is tired of the rain, but the tulips seem to just glow with the water drops.
This was all I got before another downpour started.

Hope He's Got Good Brakes!!

2009-04-10T19:51:00.000-05:00

4/5/09
Our neighbor decided to test out his boat on the lake. Beyond the dam is about a 20 foot drop to the corn fields. Just to let you know, he did stop in time.

Easter Egg Hunt

2009-04-10T19:47:00.001-05:00

Saturday 4/4/09 was the Destiny of Faith Easter Egg Hunt. They really went all out and had Inflatables, Hot Dogs and Hamburgers and all kinds of little games for the kids to play. Then of course was the famous 3 minute Easter Egg Hunt. That's about how long it lasts.

Destiny of Faith in right next door to Rural King, so of course we had to do some window shopping.

Happy Easter Everyone.

Spring Flowers

2009-04-01T19:16:00.002-05:00

A few of my spring flowers. Everything is spattered with mud as we've had heavy rains the past few days. It was pretty today, but more storms expected tomorrow. I worried that I might miss them altogether, so I thought I better shoot them tonight. I used my Sigma 150 Macro hand held for these.

Storms and Tornados

2009-03-28T16:59:00.000-05:00

The 1st picture is to the east of us, the 2nd to the south and the 3rd is towards the NE. We really didn't get much other than a few good hard downpours and a little wind. Corydon, Ky. which is about 40 miles south of us was hit by a tornado and there was a lot of destruction. I haven't heard of any serious injuries or deaths.

Tulip Tree

2009-03-25T16:52:00.001-05:00

Our Tulip Tree is so pretty this year. Many years it burst into bloom and then we get a frost and it is ruined. So far this year, it's been safe. Tulips are the Indiana State Tree.

We make them work!!!

2009-03-24T23:20:00.000-05:00

Autin has a new toy. He thinks running the RotoKiller is the greatest thing in the world. He tilled quite a bit of the garden. Of course we were standing just out of camera range at every minute in case he got trouble.

An Amazing Woman

2009-03-22T09:59:00.001-05:00

This is an amazing woman. She is the grandmother of one of my grooms. She is also Cherokee Indian. In their wedding there will be Cherokee traditions included. That will be a first for me and I'm very excited about it. Two weeks before this picture was taken at the Bridal Shower she had a stroke. The doctors told the family that she would not make it. After a week, she greeted her daughter as she walked in the hospital room barking out orders and wanting to go home.

Pinewood Derby

2009-03-15T10:04:00.000-05:00

Our selection of winners at the Pinewood Derby. They were all winners that day.

2009-03-12T19:36:00.001-05:00

Looks like a whole night is going to be spent playing.

The Vikings

2009-03-08T10:29:00.000-05:00

The Vikings invaded North Posey High School! The school mascot is a Viking so this troupe of reenactors setup their camp on the school grounds and gave demonstrations throughout the day. This is a quern. This is how they ground their wheat to make flour. Another stone fits on the top and in spun around to produce a fine flour.

Christian Prom

2009-03-08T10:16:00.001-05:00

The kids had such a great time at the Salvation Army Christian Prom. Each year the Salvation Army really goes all out to make a special night for the kids. Food, drinks, a DJ, and a crazy photographer who takes all the pictures you want.
I think I have as much fun as they do.

Boy Scouts Pack 390

2009-03-01T10:37:00.001-06:00

Austin got his 1st set of slides that he has earned as a Tiger Cub. The Blue and Gold Banquet is a big event for our Pack. Each Father and Son is to make a cake and decorate it for the contest. This was Austin's sailboat cake. It was funny watching them make it. Of course I had to give some guidance on the decorating. I showed Austin how to make birds and waves with the icing tips on a practice board and then he tried his hand on the cake. Did a great job, I think! All of the boys take this very seriously and study their handbooks.

Amaryllis

2009-02-23T10:41:00.000-06:00

The rescued Amaryllis came through and showed it true colors.

Exif

This is Karen and James. Their wedding is May 16th. I can hardly wait. It will be a mix of several cultures. She is from Argentina and her family is coming for the wedding. James' grandmother is Cherokee and there will be Cherokee traditions included in the wedding. It will be an outdoor wedding at a beautiful location here in SW Indiana. Here's a link to their engagement gallery.

Tulip Blush

2009-02-07T23:21:00.002-06:00

Exif

I'm still enjoying my little bouquet of tulips. They are starting to open up. The weathers been so warm, I'm expecing tulips to start popping up all over my garden. I planted so many things last fall that my flower bed should be gorgeous this year. I hope everything makes it ok.

Two Barns - No Sunset

2009-02-06T19:09:00.002-06:00

EXIF

I was hoping to see a pretty sunset today. Nope, just plain clear skies. These two barns are at the end of our road just on the other side of the highway.

It's Spring in Wadesville!

2009-02-05T22:54:00.003-06:00

Exif

Don't I wish! I've felt so crappy the past few days, I needed something to brighten me up. What better than my own bouquet of tulips?

Uggggg. I'm sick. Really sick. I also just noticed the date on my exif is wrong. I adjusted the time and looks like I've set the month wrong now. Off to bed I go.

From The Dreams Of A Child

2009-02-03T22:20:00.005-06:00

Exif

I thought Austin was asleep and I lay down beside him.

"Mommy?"

"Yes Austin."

"When the Vikings came to America in their ships the T-Rex was too much for them and they had to leave." But when they left there was a volcano that exploded and it killed all the dinosaurs, even the T-Rex. Then the lava ran down to the ocean and made a big crack in the bottom of the ocean. A whirlpool sucked all the ocean dinosaurs and the pirates into it and they were gone too. The pirates treasure is on the bottom of the ocean and some day we might be able to find it."

"Oh really, that would be nice."

He was sound asleep. Sleep well my beautiful little boy.

Two Dirty Faces

2009-01-31T22:17:00.002-06:00

Exif

It warmed up a bit here today. Not enough to melt all the snow and ice. It was warm enough to melt it off the trees. Ice falling from the big Maple over the house sounded like the roof was coming in on us all day. No damages, just a lot of noise. It's supposed to be warmer tomorrow and hopefully we'll get a lot more melting. Still close to 200,000 in the Indiana/Kentucky areas without power. Crews have come in from as far as Michigan.

The Beauty of the Storm

2009-01-30T23:39:00.005-06:00

Exif

Finally got out today. This is the cut through pass to bring our electric in. I'm amazed that nothing interrupted our power during this ice storm. There are still 50,000 plus without power, 3 days into this, in Evansville alone. Just south of us in Kentucky, things are much worse. They do not even have power for the shelters. Many towns have lost their water with no power to run the pumps. I went to Walmart and it was so eerie walking around in a store that had nothing on the shelves. No meat, no produce, no dairy, no frozen foods. I felt like a looter walking around in there. Very strange. No food, so I bought two Goldfish and a hair dryer. LOL

Another kind of rescue

2009-01-29T22:15:00.003-06:00

I got these Amaryllis from the clearance bin. Sometimes with a little loving care they will bloom right away. Out of 3, only one will bloom this time around. I had over a dozen Amaryllis and I goofed up and let them get one night of frost. That is all it took - one night. All of them died.

After they bloom, they die back and then you put them outside in warm weather. I normally tuck the pots in with some annuals and let them grow stronger for a winter bloom. During the summer they just grow the strap like leaves you see in the back. You must bring them in before any frost and let them die down. Early December, start watering again and you will get beautiful blooms for Christmas.

Vicious

2009-01-28T13:23:00.007-06:00

We had about 4" of ice and snow from yesterday. Last night we got hit with another 6-8" on top of it. Vectren is reporting over half of their customers are without power and will be until possibly the weekend. We have electricity and I'm amazed. We are usually the 1st ones without. Austin, Sally and Jack sure are enjoying all this. The snow is almost over Sally's head and she just leaps around to get through it. So funny!

Snowy Hearts

2009-01-27T19:06:00.002-06:00

This is the back of a little child size garden set - 2 chairs and a table that I bought at a yard sale. It's really cute and I hope to paint it and use it in a photo shoot this spring.

We have about an inch of ice and 3-4 inches of snow right now. They are expecting 4 - 6 more overnight.

Lessons From The Past

2009-01-26T21:36:00.006-06:00

Enjoy the simple things.

Behold the beauty inside.

Don't always go with the flow.
Be aware of your surroundings.

Respect the sacrifices others have made before us.
Never give up, complete your task no matter how difficult it may seem.
Respect the all of God's creatures.

All of these pictures were taken in or around New Harmony, Indiana. Tanya (Farm House Kids), managed to pry me out of the house for lunch. We talked cameras and had a wonderful lunch at the Yellow Tavern. Once I was out, I couldn't just go home and sit in my depressing cold house, so I wandered. New Harmony is a historic town in South West Indiana. It was founded as a Utopian Society in the 1800's. The work ethic and strong sense of community allowed the Harmonist to build tremendous wealth and a community that still stands strong today. New Harmony is now an artists' town with a wealth of shops and galleries nestled among historic buildings, parks, and places of worship.

Jack

2009-01-25T22:10:00.004-06:00

Jack came to use from Caring Paws Rescue. I saw that scruffy little face on the web site and I just had to have him. Many people warned me about Jack Russels and their destructive habits. Not Jack. He hasn't chewed up anything up to now. He is a very possessive, jealous dog though. Good thing that Ms. Sally Weiner can stand her own ground against him. He does have separation anxiety and I cannot get 2' away from him. It's ok, I love him so much.

The hair on the side of his nose is finally growing back. We don't know what happened but we think he rubbed his nose raw chewing on a bone. It looked terrible for a while, but the pink is slowly turning black again and he's getting some hair growth. Poor baby.

Who else but Nemo?

2009-01-24T20:42:00.006-06:00

Nemo is my son's goldfish. We've had him for 5 years. The past two years he has been outside in the goldfish pond. Last spring I made the mistake of putting some Comets in there. Those are the kind of goldfish like you get at festivals. Before long I had 100 Comets and 1 Nemo. This fall I posted on our local freecycle for someone to take them. In the process of getting all of them, the pond was pretty well trashed. We decided that Nemo would spend the winter inside and we would redo the pond in the spring. Much to my surprise, there are still about 10 Comets left in that little pond. You can see them swimming around under the ice. Guess I'll post again on freecycle and pass the rest along to another lucky soul.

Kitchen Witch

2009-01-24T10:12:00.008-06:00

Look who's landed in your kitchen
Bringing fortune to your home
It's me the lucky kitchen witch
Your special little gnome
I'll end burnt pots
I'll keep meals hot
I'll do such magic chores
For I'm your lucky kitchen witch
Keep me safe by your kitchen door.

LEGEND OF THE KITCHEN WITCH:

Depending where you do your research on the legend or folklore of Kitchen Witches, some materials may tell you Kitchen Witches are of German descent, while other might say they are a Norwegian custom handed down from generation to generation. The one thing we can be sure of is that the Kitchen Witche is from European decent.

Kitchen Witch folklore tells us the kitchen witch is a good witch, making the kitchen a warm, cozy, and comfortable place to be in. She is a gentle, whimsical, loving creature, performing wonderful magic that out tricks the bad witch, who is full of mischief . Therefore, the bad witch looses her power to foil and ruin your cooking. According to legend, cakes, breads, and other pastries will rise according to recipes. Milk will not sour or spoil. Cooking pots won't boil over. Toast, potatoes, and rice won't burn. Spices you mix will be perfect, as well as the tea and coffee you serve.

Incentive

2009-01-22T22:05:00.003-06:00

A Nintendo DS is a great incentive. Do your homework, pick up your toys and make good grades or NO DS. Very effective.

Orange?

2009-01-22T21:58:00.004-06:00

Took these yesterday but didn't post until today.

Little Wren

2009-01-20T16:15:00.004-06:00

This little Wren inspired me to get out and do some bird shots today. She poked around every nook and cranny on the porch. I think she was looking for spider eggs. It seemed she took interest in every tiny web that was out there. Last year they built a nest in the corner of my back kitchen window. Today, even when I got my camera and went outside she wasn't shy and let me get very close. Of course when I'm shooting with the Bigma, I don't have to be that close.

The feeders were a busy spot today and I got several good shots of various birds. I couldn't just pick one to post today.

Female Cardinal and House Finches
The one peeping around the feeder makes me smile.

Titmouse holding tight to her seed. In the second picture you can see the shell falling away.

House Finches and Goldfinches

Nuthatch busy on the suet block

Last but not least a Male Cardinal

So there you have my birding adventure for today. Standing on the porch, wearing house shoes, with the Bigma on a Monopod and freezing my booty off for about 1/2 an hour. :)

Weeeeeeee!!!

2009-01-19T17:20:00.008-06:00

We got a little over 2" of snow last night. School was on a 2 hour delay, then they canceled it altogether. Even though Austin has been having some issues with his breathing, he seemed to be doing pretty well today. After he begged to go outside for the 100th time, I caved in. No sled? Use the Deer Hauler. 2" of snow is enough! The dogs even had a blast. We're inside and warm now and having a pot of Deer Chili for supper. YUM!

Inspector Hector

2009-01-18T22:47:00.002-06:00

We tried a new brushing rinse called Inspector Hector tonight. It turns your teeth blue and then you brush until you have brushed all the blue away. Only problem is now we have to brush his tongue, lips, bathroom sink, towel and the wall!

Uninspired at 2.8

2009-01-18T10:47:00.003-06:00

You can see how shallow your depth of field is at 2.8 in this photo. While the eye of the feather is in focus the tips that are just a fraction of an inch farther away are out of focus.

This has been a "crap" day. Austin is having a lot of trouble breathing. He has Reactive Airway Disease which is a form of Asthma. He doesn't have attacks from allergens or "triggers", he goes into distress any time he has a cold. Even a simple little cold. We have gone from Stage 1 in his treatment which is doses of Albuterol in his nebulizer to Stage 2, which adds the steroids. The albuterol is sort of an emergency fix that should relax his airways and get his body jolted back into a normal breathing pattern. The steriods control the inflamation and he has to stay on that for several days once it's started. Hopefully we won't get to Stage 3 which is the oral steriods and a trip to the ER. He seems to have stabilized this morning and we continue with the Albuterol and steroids. He's already tired of the "HoverMom" and keeps telling me: "Stop listening to me breathe!"

Taken last night with Sigma 150 2.8 Macro and posted today.

Hoar Frost

2009-01-16T14:09:00.004-06:00

Hoar frost forms when water vapor condenses out of the air and immediately freezes on the surface of an object that has been chilled below 32°F. This is on pine needles on the surface of my Goldfish pond. Somewhere under the ice are my pretty Goldfish. I used my Sigma 150 2.8 Macro hand held for this photo.

Sea Shells By The Sea Shore

2009-01-16T08:59:00.005-06:00

This is just a small part of my massive shell collection. Some of these things I've had since I was a kid. I guess that makes them antiques, like me. We used to have an old fashioned pharmacy here in town. It had a little bit of everything there. A diner, household items and a gift shop. In the gift shop area, Mr. Mann, the owner kept his fabulous shell collections. When he gave up the business he put his collections up for sale. I bought everything I could afford at the time. I still wish I had enough money to buy the Giant Clam shell he had. It was at least 4 foot across. You cannot buy them now because they are protected and very rare. Taken last night and posted this morning.

Red Bellied Woodpecker

2009-01-14T17:04:00.007-06:00

Many people think this is a Red Headed Woodpecker when it is actually a Red Bellied Woodpecker. The Red Headed is a distinctly different bird. The Pileated Woodpecker is the one with the pointed top knot and a very large bird. We do have them here and I see them fly from one woods to the other, but I've never been able to get a shot of them. They also have a very distinctive sound when they fly.

I have corrected the identification of this bird thanks to Christopher who has posted a detailed id in the comments section. Thanks Christopher! You can view his very interesting blog here Picus Blog.

What Boys Do In The Shower

2009-01-13T20:47:00.000-06:00

Miss Sally Weiner

2009-01-12T20:10:00.000-06:00

Miss Sally Weiner came to us from a family that decided that they just weren't dog people. She was well taken care of and is a very sweet little dog. She's a digger doo though. She spends her days digging the yard after moles. By spring she will have turned over our entire 5 acres, I'm sure.

This was taken with my Sigma 50-500 also called The Bigma. I went out with the intention of getting some bird shots, but that didn't happen so here she is.

Pretty Candles

2009-01-11T23:10:00.000-06:00

I fell in love with these candles, but taking a good picture of them proved to be a challenge. They are tall stemware and the stems kept becoming transparent on the black background. The base would show well and the tops with the candles, but not the stems. I also had a lot of reflections from everything in the rooms showing up. This is something I need to work on and figure out. I'm also trying out the image upload on Blogger instead of linking to my Smugmug account.

Today I found a template I can live with. I wish is were wider and I'm not happy with the graphics, but I'm working on changing that up a bit. Stay tuned!

Kylee

2009-01-10T23:53:00.000-06:00

Sweet baby Kylee. One of the few good ones from her shoot tonight. She's teething and wasn't too smiley.

Antique Door Knob

2009-01-10T00:14:00.000-06:00

Ok, I need to get out of the house! I'm taking pictures of doorknobs.

Feed Me!

2009-01-08T22:18:00.001-06:00

How can you resist that face? Meet Chester, our Miniature Donkey. He’s such a sweetheart and always hungry. Chester is another one of our rescues. He’s been lucky twice in his life. The first time he was rescued off a trailer full of donkeys that were heading for the killers. The people that rescued him from there fell on hard times and could not afford to feed him, so now he has a permanent home with us. Babyface (our rescue Thoroughbred) and Chester get along famously. They are tried and true buddies. From the looks of their thick shaggy coats, it should be a cold winter. They sure are fuzzy.

This is Spike. Of course he had to have his nose in the middle of whatever it was I was doing out there at the fence. Might miss a morsel. Spike is also another rescue. He was a tiny kitten that would barely fit in your hand. He was dumped in the median of a busy 4-lane highway. He is the sweetest thing and has grown into a beautiful cat.

Dana’s rescue is just about full!! We have a horse, a donkey, 3 dogs and 4 cats. All rescues or unwanted animals. They will live out the rest of their lives here with us. No more worries for them.

Poinsettia

2009-01-06T22:16:00.000-06:00

I loved the colors and textures of this poinsettia leaf. It was a beautiful plant this year with the varigated leaves. It’s starting to show it’s age, but hopefully I can keep it alive until spring and plant it in the garden.

It’s look pretty cool in a high contrast black and white.

He keeps looking at me

This year I let Austin pick out the angel to top our tree. He took a long time, looking at each one carefully before he decided on the Snow Angel. He was so proud of it. When we got home my husband had rigged a gold lighted star on top of the tree. It was all crooked and flopping over. Austin though it was ok and he wanted to set his Angel on the table holding the tree.

Today my husband came to me with the Snow Angel and asked what happened to her wings. After careful examination, I KNOW what happened to her wings. Miss Sally Weiner dog took her pointed little micro snoot and flead them off. There was not another mark on the angel at all. Just the wings chewed down to nubbins. I know it was her with that pointy little nose. She’s a nibbler and I find her mark here and there. Jack would have done the Jack Russel thing and ripped it to shreds leaving his evidence covering the entire living room.

So now we just have a Snow Queen……………

Happy 85th Birthday Dad!

Hopefully we’ll have many more

This was my day

A blue bowl of generic Fruit Loops. Blahhhhhhhhh! Ran that stupid carpet cleaner all day non stop. I do have to say it looks great. White carpet should be banned! My Dad is so happy with it. It’s worth the smile on his face.

Did you feel like this?

Did you feel like this early this morning?

I did, but not from drinking. I did have two Bailey’s and Creme. It was the ribs that my husband cooked on his smoker that did us all in. He cooked 5 slabs. We just had family over for a quiet dinner and evening. Trouble was after we ate all those ribs all we could do was sit around and moan!

We started cleaning all the carpets in Dad’s house today. Two rooms about 40 x 60 each. We took a couple hours time out and took the boys to the zoo so they could burn off some energy. It didn’t work.

Project 365

2009-01-01T21:43:00.000-06:00

I’ve decided to join a group of ladies in a 365 project. One photo a day for a year. You’ll never know where I might point my camera. This could be quite interesting or boring as hell depending on your point of view. I’m a little late in joining in on this, but I have been taking the photos daily. As soon as I get my new computer up to speed, I can post easily. For now, I’m on my laptop which jumps all over the place as I’m typing. It’s not easy to process photos like this either. I’ll be in heaven when I get everything installed on the desktop. Maybe tomorrow, as all the family has gone back home after the holiday rush.
