SmugMug > popular > Other > Wednesday 21st May 2008 ~ Another Day Another driveway sunset only this is facing a different direction to usual (down the street) Have you ever noticed the sunsets are different in the cooler half of the year to the warmer half i think they are subtler maybe? So obviously I didn't go anywhere today Daniel has me prisoner NO thats not even true I am 5 feet taller than him so I have the advantage of being able to pick him up and dump him in the pram BUT in saying that the mood he jhas been in lately I think twice before long shopping trips or any outing that exceeds an hour (thats how long I can get away with before he gets over being in the pram and wants to argue about not being allowed out to crawl all over the floor) Sleeping has slowly been improving night by night Cling and Whinge - WORSE the only reason I am able to EVEN type this while he is awake is because RAGGS is on and he loves the music on it and the brightly coloured dogs singing it ....Anything for peace :) Anyway I have had my daily vent although I MAY be back later cos I am still a day behind to play catch up (a game I seem to be permenantly playing in all avenues of life lately (((((((HUGS))))))))

Is this little pier cool or what? I don't want to say where it is exactly since I think it is sort of underground so to speak.

I took a bunch of shots of this makeshift pier and birdhouses and either the rocks were visible or the skyline was clear. Couldn't get both.

a new chapter-

on the left, you will probably recognize my beloved grandson, connor (one of my beloved grandsons)-

on the right is trista, who along with her sister victoria and their mother, rene (cathy's niece) have come to live with us-

they had lived with their mother and grandmother, vickie (cathy's sister)-

vickie was killed by her nephew-

vickie leaves a son, stevie, who died ten years ago, and two daughters and six grandchildren and two sisters-

we are blessed to have renee and her two daughters with us, but prayers would also be nice-

in re the light and composition comments/questions of yesterday: the light was bright but indirect sunlight and then a bit of backlight from a window reflection and everything was natural just as i found it. i upped the contrast and sharpness a nudge when i developed it but it was otherwise out of the camera. the light was more direct tho more diffused today for this one. dropped the contrast a bit so the white was toned down but otherwise as came out of the camera (dust and all sigh). my gas tank is completely dry so i'm off to bed and lookinhg forward to going to work in the morning. have a great day
