Exhausted. Family reunion. Snapshots tomorrow. G’night.

It’s a late post from me tonight! I was going to share my Friday Food photo, but I’m not going to take the time to edit it this late. Here’s a shot of the lovely Mother’s Day flowers my daughter and son-in-law sent to me…

Thankful Thursday! I’m thankful that it really is spring even if it doesn’t feel like it. I hear that spring will return to us tomorrow. I’m ready – I’m freezing! I’ve been using my heated mattress pad every night – in MAY! Craziness!

Oh, and just in case you didn’t see it on Facebook…here’s a terrible shot I took of my youngest son after he found out that I forgot to bring his leftover curly fries from the restaurant…

His heart was shattered into a million tiny pieces.

Fortunately, he got over it fairly quickly. Whew. I almost had to go buy him new curly fries!

Okay…this isn’t a lovely, well-thought-out photo…it’s just a snapshot of my view a few minutes ago.

Don’t adjust your set – that is not static. That is snow. Blech.

So I went over to my neighbor’s yard and took this just to prove to myself that it truly is spring.

It’s Texture Tuesday! How ‘bout a new pattern instead of a texture? I found these Corelle plates at my favorite thrift store today. It was a set of 12 plates for $8! I was so excited! We’ve wanted Corelle for a long time because we break so many plates around here (that’s what you get for starting kids on chores when they’re 2!). This isn’t the pattern I would choose if I picked my own, but for $8, I love it!

This shot was taken with my Palm Pre Plus and edited in CS3. (I left my camera bag in the Suburban when I sent Fancy and boys off to baseball. Oops.)

The only photo related reading I did today was this interesting post at The Maternal Lens.

For this Monochrome Monday shot I stayed indoors and took pictures of my african violet. Not only have I not killed this plant in the 2 years I’ve had it (amazing – trust me!), I have been able to take proper care of it so that it bloomed again and looks beautiful and healthy! It’s blossoms are white, so it’s a good candidate for black and white, I think.

Here’s a color version of the same shot.

I would never have thought of adding a warming filter to a black and white image, but one of my blog followers suggested it (thanks sasi! http://my3rdi.org/) and I really like what it did. This is a very light version, but it really added richness to the photo!

I took a little photo ramble today! Yay for getting outside! I saw some wonderful trees…here are just a few:
