Naps are so much more fun if you find somewhere new to sleep each time.

A little bit of Corel Paint. Honey Bell is a cute, friendly puppy. Lives in our neighborhood.

At last a new camera

I’ve had some trouble with two of my cameras, lately. Two of them are five years old, and so I suppose it’s not surprising that they eventually don’t work as reliably or as well as they used to. It’s going to be a long time, I suspect, before I can splurge even this much, again, but I’m happy with the new camera I preordered, last month. It’s an Olympus, again: the SZ-31MR iHS. I’m going to have to read the instruction book, this time. For real!

This is one of the first photos taken with the new camera. After the warm winter, we have had a cold spring, and while some of the tulips came up, I’m not hopeful about the others.

West Into Winter

Another frost photograph from Thursday morning.

First Frost

My first frost photograph for winter 2011-2012 was taken on January 12, which is the first morning that there was frost on the front-door window.

A bit behind the game

I had expected to have more photos up, but things didn’t work out as I had planned. Last Saturday night I took a trip to the emergency room, again, as a result of multiple encounters with, first, cigarette smoke on Thursday, and then on Friday and Saturday, what I suspect was smoke from recreational fires in the neighborhood. This time I ended up in hospital. I am expecting a release to go home on Tuesday morning with a scrip for prednisone, again. I am not excited about a home oxygen supply. I mean, electronics are us!

And so I was looking out a third-floor hospital window when we got our first real snowfall of the year.

The bout of asthmatic breathing, which I have decided after looking through descriptions of symptoms is exercise induced asthma, has taken a lot more out of me than I feel comfortable with. Only now that the wind and dust have given way to rain showers and calmer breezes do I feel at ease going outside. The allergens really do make a difference in how I feel. I have missed a lot of opportunities for taking photographs during the past month or so, and I am sorry for that. I am also sorry that I am not as eager to get out for walks with my camera and just take photographs of my surroundings. Once I have caught up with things here at home, I must do something about that. Something creative…

Rendezvous Waterfall, West Fargo

Liz — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 15:30:23 +0000

I took several photographs of the waterfall at Rendezvous Park in West Fargo on Saturday. Al and I were there with other members of our amateur radio group to provide communications along the route during the “Walk to End Alzheimer’s” fund-raising event for the greater Fargo-Moorhead area. I tried some texturing on this photo to sharpen details.

We enjoyed our first hard frost of the autumn, and I am looking forward to cooler weather to continue.

I have added these photographs also to my gallery, QuietSpaces, at RedBubble.com.
