Wonderful weddings and wet windows

Nothing has really changed since my last posting. I do think now that I need to make a list of all I hope to accomplish in the next two weeks. Then, I need to put feet to my list. Yesterday my husband and I went on a hike through the woods hunting for caves. Our hike was a total of three and one-half miles. I have definitely got to get back into my daily routine that includes walking.
Aside from walking, I hope to finish some photo orders from weddings.
I and my camera have been blessed to be a small part of two weddings recently. They were both wonderful. I think I have found out that I like to be the back-up photographer, catching the candid, whimsical, and personal shots that often are overlooked until the small box in my hand is opened to reveal treasures, such as the little children giggling at the sight of the practicing wedding party at rehearsal or the shared secret between two friends who are sure noone else saw it. I love to catch the tapping of soft light on the shoulder of the bride as she glances an apprehensive look at her father's face. Oh well, enough of my glamourizations and onto making that list for my next two weeks.

It has been a long time.

I talked with a friend today, and she mentioned her blogspot. The conversation started me to thinking on my blog. I have been really bad about posting lately. If I did everything I wanted to do, the stress would take all the fun out. Let me see what I would like to do most. Photos-arrange, organize, tag, print, edit, scrapbook, Spanish, writing, clean my yard, get ready for spring garden, build a trail around my property, clean out my sheds, change the oil in my car(not but it needs to be done), so many things. Good Night!

Contests

Jessica is always encouraging me with Etsy and Blogs. Here is a link to a contest that may be past a deadline. I am not sure what Sunday will be the end. http://flaxandspindle.blogspot.com/2009/06/june-giveaway.html

More Photography and Another Bikeride

After a week of showing and selling pictures, we went to Georgia again and rode 11 miles on the bike trail. We rode from mile 46 to 47.5 UP UP UP. That section was rough. We turned around and went eastward to mile 42. This section is well worth the time. Pastoral views and shaded forested mingled to make for a pleasant ride. We stopped at a very small creek and observed an alligator snapping turtle. We did not disturb him as he made his way under the water along the edge. His head was enormous. Back at the car, we loaded up, headed home, stopped at a yard sale (where I found a set of black striped Corelle dishes to go with my Red Cafe set for $1.50,) and arrived home just before the rain.
Now for lunch.

Blueberries, weight, and pictures

Steve and I went through the blueberrries on our way out to walk. Although he thought only one bush was ripening, we discovered three were actually ripening. This morning, I will pick the first good size bowl of blueberries.

I have lost only one pound this week. Losing five pounds last week was more exciting, but progress is progress.

I am going to sort, edit, and order the rest of the pictures from the baseball game on Tuesday night. Weaver has practice today, and I will take the pictures to show and sell at practice.

I best get to that editing. Have a great day all.

Blueberries

Yesterday, Steve picked five blueberries. The three that he gave to me were delicious. He said one of his was sweet and the other was not. So, I can officially say it's Blueberry Time. I doubt that I will be taking three gallons with me to Florida.

I was so excited yesterday to discover how to post pictures. I also wanted to post a couple more even though the quality is lacking. The baby deer was so cute.

This is a better close up of the fountain coming out of the building along with a beautiful lily blooming in a corner planter beside the street.

More bikeriding

Sunday morning, we headed over to Rome, Georgia to ride on the River Walk/Trail. We road about eight miles through to city streets and along the river.

Rome is a beautiful place. I took the wrong camera with me so I was not able to get good pictures of the buildings. I had my zoom lens and not the wide angle. We did find a fountain coming out of the building on a side street.

I took my shoes off and dipped my legs in the water. It is, at the most, two feet deep.

After Rome we headed to Berry College and drove all over campus.

We saw a water snake at the old mill, a baby deer with it's mother, and a beautiful architecture in a natural setting. Berry College might be the prettiest campus in the south.
