Pink Saturday - January 30, 2010

Beverly has asked us to visit one blog we have never been to
before and to add a link so here is my submission:
http://gardenshoesonline.com/. Please welcome Teresa.


When my husband and I were flying from Jacksonville, Florida to the Chicagoland area this is what we saw out the airplane window Pink clouds. Doesn't it look like cotton candy a wee bit? I think I will open a Chunky Chocolate Bar and then have a Cherry Coke while I check out the other blogs to see what lovely Pink things have been posted. I would like to thank Beverly for being the hostess.

In Chicagoland area we are viewing gray skies one day after another. Here is an image which I took yesterday of sewer pipes steaming. It is hard to tell where the sky and the land separate.

Thinking Outside of the Box

In December, I was visiting the Roux Library, Florida Southern College, Lakeland, Florida. In my mind I saw this image and decided to capture it. Image was cropped but did not play with it in PhotoShop or any other program. Notice the rack of books and shelving which included a vision of lines horizontal and vertical. Look at the lower right hand corner, one will find grass and trees. Look straight at the photo, one can see window frames, natural lighting and tree limbs. The light bulb and even the wiring showed up in this image. I am always exploring light and shadows, hard and soft textures but in this image I succeeded in capturing what the library looks like inside and what is outside of the library building which was my goal.

Look at these Pink Glam-Gloves made for dish washing. Remember the days when women and their daughters would put on aprons and one would wash and the other would dry. Of course, along with the project came small talk, sharing of recipes, and then the telephone would ring. Now most everyone uses a dishwasher. I admit, I still hand wash dishes but put them on a wooden rack to dry.

Now that the dishes are all draining, I think I will grab a glass of sweet tea and go visit Pink Saturday sites.

Looks like everything is going to get wet and gray; but we have the promise of tomorrow. Lake Windigo, taken just before dark. This image came straight out of the camera this way. The only thing I did was to crop it.

1/20/2010 Outdoor Wednesday - #54

Thank you Susan for being our hostess each week.

Last week-end, this area was experiencing snow and ice on roads plus temperatures dropping below freezing making traffic move even slower. I located this sign on a backroad by the Wheeling Water storage tank. I couldn't resist taking this shot to post for Outdoor Wednesday.


This girl stands knee deep in snow holding a blackboard saying "Drive Slow." I just love her red dress with white dots.

This is a close up. Notice her red bow in her hair and her white bow tied around her neck. Her hairstyle is simply charming. Her face speaks volumes.
