It was a dark and stormy night…

… ok maybe it wasn’t totally dark, nor a very stormy night but I still felt like I was in a horror movie! Two days ago, while trying to back up my computer onto my hard drive I did something wrong and LOST everything on my hard drive. I started freaking out, and Todd (my computer guru) wasn’t going to be home for six hours! I was pacing, I couldn’t breath, and every once and a while I would scream, Todd was in exams all day so I couldn’t even ‘chat’ with him on gchat. It had years of my journals, and over a year and a half of pictures and six months of pictures that I hadn’t ‘gotten around’ to backing up onto CD’s yet, I thought I was going to die. Poor C didn’t know what to think. When my Todd got home and took a look at it, turned out I hadn’t even hooked up the hard drive, I had tried to down load my computer to my computer and there wasn’t enough space for it, lol! Needless to say I stole away to the back room and thanked my Heavenly Father with huge sobs.

On to happier things Congrats to Deana and Anna who survived another year of educating young minds, now you can pick up your cameras and shoot everything in sight!

The next assignment I wanted to do was a picture of Spring. It can be anything. I have always loved spring, the snow is finally gone (hopefully) and there are signs of new life everywhere. Out on the farm, there were hundreds of baby calves kicking and playing with each other… almost makes me miss the farm… almost :-)

I don’t know if I already posted this but here is a picture I would have lost and I really like it.

PS Jane for us that live in Vegas and Summer is all but here, take a picture of something that can be either Spring or Summer

Okay, so here are my pictures. I haven't edited them at all, so you all get to see the ugly chips on my kitchen table.

I really enjoyed this assignment. It helped me understand depth of field better. Exposure is such a confusing thing to me, but playing around in manual mode helped me.

I also loved thinking about color. I had to include the pictures of the M&M's I used, because they have GREAT color, and were delicious too. The last one standing was the red one, and that's my favorite color.

I also have a few flower pictures that I took recently that I may add on in the next day or two.
