Playing with my camera

Yesterday was a fun day. I took my husband to Erie to celebrate his 75th birthday. He loves the Red Lobster so we went there for lunch. Then I took him to the jewelry store. A while back he outgrew his wedding ring and it got to tight so he took it off.  I thought it was time he started wearing it again. Afterwards I dropped him off at the casino so he could play while I shopped. (win-win). I didn’t buy a lot…a pool for Sadie to swim in for the summer, a hose holder, a clematis to replace the one that didn’t make it over the winter, a moist heating pad and a few small items. You know the story..a day late and a dollar short? That’s how I felt. I went into the Christmas Tree shoppe and on the way in I saw the perfect garden arch. I have been looking for just the right one for a few years now to go at the top of the path on the bank. This one was rounded at the top and had a diamond window in the lattice at the side. I loved it. I went in and asked about it and the clerk said I needed to bring in the tag as it was a display model. I figured I could shop around a bit and get it on the way back….WRONG! When I finished someone else had scooped it up. Boy was I mad! So since they only had one I went online and ordered it to be shipped to my house.


I’m out today in my yard playing around with lensbaby Velvet 56 again. I love the effects. These are all SOTC (straight out of the camera)
