Day 39/365

Not too bad for a shot taken through a window :) It was just way too cold to go outside! Anyway, the HUGE snowstorm turned out to be pretty wimpy (at least in Buffalo that is). We got a few inches, but I heard Boston is getting three feet....yuck.

My poor iPod :-( Shattered when I dropped it on the kitchen floor....it made a horrible sound when it hit and I knew right away it was a goner. Oh well :(

"Artist"

When I picked Hughes and Sutton up after school, Sutton had to finish her homework and Hughes wanted to draw.  He got out his supplies and drew his school.  I think we have an artist on our hands. He's in the 1st grade and Sutton is in the 3rd!  Pretty good for a 1st grader, don't you think?

Thanks for comments on my purple pansy.

My daughter's frog is getting HUGE and she can now eat large crickets :) She squeaked as she jumped at her dinner today! LOL She seems to be a happy little frog.

I Can't Believe the Huskies Won06 February 2013 -- 37/365Barrington, Rhode IslandLooking for a change in scenery, I headed to Haines Park in Barrington for today's photo.  There are usually a few walkers, cyclists, and fishermen in the park, so I was hoping to continue my street photography series.  As it turns out, there was just this gentleman walking his reluctant Boston Terrier.  I say reluctant because it was clear the pup wanted to be anyplace but there.  The look on his face is priceless, and that leads us to the caption of today's photo.There are four Division One college hockey teams in Boston: Boston College, Boston University, Harvard, and Northeastern.  Every year, they meet at the TD Bank Garden for a tournament known as the Beanpot.  The rivalries are intense, and winning the Beanpot is as important to these teams as the entire rest of the season.  This past Monday the first game in the semi-finals was played between the Northeastern Huskies and the Boston University Terriers.  The Huskies won, 3-2.  As you can see in today's photo, this Terrier is clearly not pleased with the results.Post processing today started with a standard greyscale conversion in Topaz B&W FX.  I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, followed by adaptive exposure, regions, boost black, boost white, and protect highlights.  I adjusted brightness and contrast in PSE and topped it off with a sepia photo filter.
