Day 29

I'm not sure about the overexposed look of this one. (PS edit) For some reason, I like it. However, I know it is a "no-no" to overexpose. Honest opinions please. I went back and desaturated it on the highly respected advice of a forum buddy.

Playing with fire...again.

Day 28.

Day 27

A funny one...my forum friends! ha ha!!

Weekly call.

Day 26

My best friend Tirzah and I try to talk at least once a week. She moved to Michigan a few years ago, but we made a vow that we would call each other all the time. I'm happy to say, it is a weekly shot in the arm that brightens my day and gives my soul a lift. This pic reminds me of teenagers talking on the phone with their BFF!! I love you Tearz!

Playing with water.

Day 25.

I just liked these other two.

Food for thought.

Friday night, I helped a friend of mine who is a personal chef with a dinner party. She also asked me to take some pictures for her. I love to cook ALMOST as much as I love photography, so I am always happy to help her. Here are some of the shots I got. PS, my friend's blog is posted on the sidebar of my blog. (Chef Mei). There are a few more shots on my Flickr account.

Days 23 and 24.

Day 22 and a fun shot.

This was a quick one. Not much time to be very creative yesterday.

Used a 20 second exposure on this one...Time Flies. Inspired by Rob from the forum.

Day 21.

This was reflected in my kitchen table. Thought it was kind of cool. Still not sure what I am doing in PS, but still learning along with everyone else!

The final diagnosis on mom was positive for cancer. The doctor says next step is hospice. It's rough but we are all dealing with it. Thanks to everyone for the warm wishes and prayers. We will still need them.

Day 20.

My favorite veteran.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Day 19. Warm, fuzzy sweater and big fuzzy red socks!

I feel pretty.

Day 18.

Mom update: Tests were inconclusive. She will be undergoing more tests Monday and Tuesday. All prayers still welcomed and appreciated.

Day 17

Those of you who know me, know that my mom was diagnosed with colon cancer in August. Today, we found out that the doctors have found a spot on her lung. We are waiting for the results of the tests to find out about this new obstacle. Please pray for her.

Day 16

Balance. Everyone needs it in their life. I hope you all have it in yours. Have a good weekend!

Trees
