RAIN… RAIN….RAIN….

It has been so dark and gloomy around here !

UGH !

Nothing but rain ..rain … rain.. the past few days…making everything so gray.

It wasn’t that long ago it was bright.. sunny and warm!

A couple of days ago...As I looked out the window … I thought Wow.. my eyes are really starting to go…. basically because I thought I saw a rock moving in the lawn!

Upon further inspection.. I saw that the rock was actually a turtle !

I mean what up?… first on our trip in North Carolina.. while on vacation .

Now again..( That one looked like a snapper to me..!)

I hadn’t seen a turtle in many many years.. and now two in less than a month…

What does it all mean?….

This guy wasn’t having any of me..

Every time I tried to hone in on him.. he would turn his head..or retreat inside completely.. Hmmm ... Come to think of it...I do believe it was a male.

I finally took and my shot.. and bid Mr hard body a fond farewell..

He looked up at me as if to say…” Really Lady?”

While in the back yard I decided to snap a photo of the sign Mr R had made for my dad’s grapevine.

It always makes me smile.

I have to say.. I really have been trying to take more photos….

Surprisingly it isn’t always easy to make time to do this…as much as I enjoy photography.. I just don’t MAKE the time to get out there and practice..

Maria and I have really enjoyed our classes so far..but if I am being totally honest..

Tuesday’s class quickly went from Basic Photography to advanced Trigonometry.. at least that’s how if felt to me..

Whenever I see numbers.. especially numbers with letters and in fractions.. I think MATH.. and that my friends.. is when the lights went out in Georgia.
Somewhere between my f stop and my aperture.. I blanked out..

I think Maria understood what was going on a little more than I did.. but I could still smell the fear..

We have decided to make weekend field trips to practice.

This weekend we plan on going to Ann Arbor.. There is ALWAYS something interesting if not wild and wacky to capture there .

For now...I think I will stick to EASY shots of good ol Joe Pesce.

At least…Until I really got the nuts and bolts of it all.

Have a Great..(DRY)...day! & don't forget...

Go out there and make some memories!!
