mmmmm yummy - blended 'oatmeal' would you like a bite? No? Me either.... Thankfully I was released today.... whew! This is another cell phone picture with a texture added.

June 07 2010 - Day 157

Potassium and cranberry juice.... not a great combination. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) it was better than the horrible cream of asparagus soup they tried to get me to eat for lunch..... ick! I actually had to have TWO glasses of this. Thank heavens my potassium levels came back to normal.

Pancreatitis. I hadn't even heard the word before last night. It is NOT fun, and beyond painful. I would not wish this pain on my worst enemy, seriously worse than labor. Hubby actually called the ambulance because I was SO sick, SO suddenly last night. This is a self portrait taken with my Blackberry.... played with some textures and messed around with it some....

May 25 2010 - Day 145

Just playing with some textures and overlays in Photoshop today. I almost pulled out this rosebush a few years ago, and now it's almost climbing over the top of our shed.

May 04 2010 - Day 124

Another picture of my sweet smelling roses. Trying some fun overlay textures on this one :)

April 16 2010 - Day 106

Ick, I do NOT like hornets.

I hate that when you try to sit out and eat on the deck that they immediately want to join us.

I've heard that having an open container of ground cloves will keep them away. I'll have to try that.

March 09 2010 - Day 68

Thought I'd try something a little artistic today. This photo was taken through the window of our 21st story hotel room at the Pan Pacific in Vancouver. The weather wasn't so great out. I kind of like the result though.

Feb 07 2010 - Day 38

I'm so happy to see my Weeping Pussy Willow tree starting to get some cute little fuzzy buds. This must mean spring is coming soon... right? I also used this picture to play with some different effects as well, such as the Orton Effect (glowy and soft). I think it works pretty well with this picture. I can't wait until my sweet little tree is covered in little furry 'kitty paws' :D

Jan 29 2010 - Day 29

What a crazy January we are having. I was out in the yard and noticed these green leaves peaking through my dried Hydrangea heads. I quickly went back inside and got my pruning shears and cut off the dead wood before it became too difficult as the new leaves grow right into the dried blooms. I've never had it start to leaf out so early. This was on January 23, but I just took the picture today. I also noticed the same thing with my two poor abused neglected Mums on my front deck. I did give them a quick prune as well. I guess this 'winter' has been good for my green thumb, lol!

Jan 04 2010 - Day 4

Well, the sick bug that has been hitting everyone has finally hit me. Not feeling great. I spent much of the day just hanging out and watching TV.... Grumpy Old Men is on in the background.

Hopefully I'll feel better soon and be able to post something a little more exciting.

Jan 01 2010 - Day 1

The idea is to take one picture each day and post it here.

So far so good. I've chosen today's picture. We had a LOT of rain today. This is my weeping pussy willow tree.
