Tuesday thru Thursday...got a rhythm happening

20 Jan 2009
I lied! I said the last reflection pic was last week....but this one was not planned! so that kinda makes it different and well it has zebra print...so that is an automatic okay! Some of you may remember that my hubby, Preacherman is well ha ha a pastor...for reals....that is the whole reason we moved from New Mexico 1300 miles to California. He is starting a new church, we met at a hotel, with a lovely foyer with a full bar...lol...
but now, we have a bonifide building, well we will once we, get the zebra off the wall and paint the hot pink, or magenta walls and trim a soft white or cream! I was zooming around our just signed and shaken hands for building we will be having services in on 1 FEB!!! So you get to see the before and a reflection of me...but the after won't reflect, cause this will be a bulletin board for stuff! and won't reflect...did that make sense?
And I know it is dark, see the big 9volt flashlight on the counter...there isn't any electricity yet, so I was flashing around in the semi-darkness....I tell you I am a wild woman!

Okay, so two pics and both are dismal failures...but I didn't read the 365 rules..but being perfect was not a requirement...thank goodness...cause I had the most roaring fire going in the house...I mean it was roasting...so hot we had to turn fans on...I sat and smiled and was so darn proud of myself...I thought, Anne, take a picture and show all 9 people that come to your little blog what a pioneering woman you can be...so help from any one who has taken a picture of a fire~is there a trick? I didn't even begin to play with the speed or apatures or the other nifty buttons, cause I was in such a let down at the moment of camera clicking....

It's raining in California, and that's a good thing! I wanted to capture some peach groves....I am totally amazed at the vegetation that grows in this huge central valley. After 20 plus years living in the high desert of New Mexico, you can only imagine my slack jaw looks at the green things that pop out of the earth here! Soooooooooooo....I am pulled over on the road, pondering if I want to get out...all the pics I am taking are focusing on the raindrops...so I play a bit, think of Pioneer Woman's guest teacher in Photography this week, beginning, middle and end..and I look at the oncoming traffic and begin to grab, the cars with lights, the grove behind and the mirror of my sporty but still a middle age mom minivan's mirror! I liked it...it is a story in a picture....
