Baby came with me this evening when I went out to take pictures for this week's Photo Quest. This picture didn't make the cut for the contest, but I had to share it anyway.
Didn't do any quilting today. Had a very nice visit with two of our sons and their families. We had sandwiches for lunch and ham for dinner, so I didn't wear myself out cooking all day.
I started cleaning up some of the pictures I have saved on my computer. I am running out of room! I had to delete a bunch of files just so I could get my pictures off the camera. Need to do more deleting. Or get more storage.
Time for bed, but I want to try to send some pictures to Snapfish. Wish it didn't take so long to send them.
The weather had been so cool and rainy that it was late this afternoon before I went outside. This was taken about 7:30 pm, about 30 minutes before the sun set. It is a little sycamore tree that is just now leafing out. It was taken with a Canon Powershot A540 on automatic. I may have had the maco setting on. The flash was off.
I took this picture of a rose after I came back inside. The sun had set, but it wasn't dark yet. I had the light in the room turned off, and the flash on the camera was off. I had the vase setting in front of a south facing window and used the macro setting on the Canon PowerShot A540.
I took this picture of a frog or toad last Wednesday, May 7th. I forgot about him until after the sun had set, so it was darker than I wanted it to be. I wanted to take his picture without flash, but it was too dark, so I had to try to keep from getting glare from the flash or the overhead lights. He is sitting in the window well of my sewing room. I cropped the shot, and I may have had the macro setting on, but I can't remember. Taken with same Canon PowerShot A540.
I was taking pictures this evening for this week's Photo Quest. This one doesn't meet the qualifications exactly, but I liked it anyway. It is somewhat distorted by the resizing. It was taken in front of a window with no flash.
I didn't do any quilting today. I was fighting with a bad headache all day, and it was winning!
I finished this pot holder last night. I made this one a little bit different. It has an appliqued star on a plain denim field on the other side. It will be on Etsy soon.
I received my order from JoAnn's today, so now I have the white flannel I need to finish the Moda baby lovie that I started a long time ago.
Need to clean house tomorrow. Two of our sons and their families are coming out on Sunday. I want to finish my camp orders so I can put that mess away. It is spread out all over one end of the dining room table. My fabric strip knitting is spread out on the other end, but I can put it in a bag and get it out again without loosing my place.
Have a great weekend, everyone, and Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in my neighborhood and on Vox!
I took a lot of shots yesterday, both at home and at the party. I'm going to submit four, so you may have to kick one out!
I wanted to explore some different angles for the pictures that I use to list my Country By Design items on Etsy. This one is taken from the back of the setting. The focus on the place mats isn't very good.
I was using a bird's nest that I found as one of my props. It isn't big enough to show up in the photos of the place mats, so I took this one of it by itself with rock "eggs".
I took lots of pictures of my grandkids yesterday. This is one of my favorites. I love the lighting. Maybe not exactly Vogue material, but ...
My youngest grandson was looking out the window watching the older kids playing. I shot this looking straight down on the top of his head. Guess you could say it's an ad for the curtains or the floor vent which is bent because they have to keep a fifteen pound weight on it to keep the kids from playing with it!
I'm trying to work on my compositions for my photographs for my Country By Design items on Etsy. The lighting wasn't very good. I may have to try moving the antique wash stand to a different wall. I do like the dark red background. The off-white paper is a print from a picture that my cousin made. Don't know if it should be in the picture or not.
I think I like this one with the candle better.
I had a busy day yesterday. Had a dentist appointment in the morning. Will have to go back to get a huge filling. I really need a crown, but can't afford it.
We spent the rest of the day at our son's house working on his fence. He is making a white picket fence with short wide boards. I didn't have to paint, but I wish I had a nickel for every board I moved yesterday. I had to line them up and get them ready to be painted, then move them out of the way after they got dry. When I got caught up, I helped entertain the kids. After Stephen got home from work, I started moving boards out to the fence so he could nail and screw them in place. We got the long straight stretch behind his house finished about dark last night. It was almost 9:00 when we got home. I checked my email and fell into bed. I'll take a picture on Saturday. It really looks nice.
Here's my description of spring in the hills of Missouri.
I'm not sure if I like this picture of the red bud tree best, or the one I took yesterday. I had to go out earlier today because it was getting hazy. The sun angle was different today, and the buds were more open.
The crabapple tree in full bloom means spring has sprung! It is beautiful this year, and full of bees!!
I had to get down close to the ground to get this shot. Most of my spring bulbs are already over the hill, but these just opened yesterday. Wish I could remember their name.
Please let me know if this is not the correct way to submit entries for the photo quest. Thanks to Darcy for encouraging me to enter. It was a lot of fun; I only spent 30 minutes taking these three pictures!
