Shelly > February 3, 2009 Down on the Court -- Please Rise for our National Anthem. For this I adjusted the tones and yanked them around a bit in curves and then added a watercolor filter from photoshop. Nothing as lovely as some of the WC effects that others in this community have perfected, but it's still an interesting touch. "A man's feet should be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world." -- George Santayana US (Spanish-born) philosopher (1863 - 1952)
Shelly > March 30, 3009 Two Special Visitors -- In our back yard for a cookout last night. These two were buddies all evening as the little butterfly dried out its fresh wet wings. "Young cat, if you keep your eyes open enough, oh, the stuff you would learn! The most wonderful stuff!" -- Dr. Seuss, Seuss-isms (1904 - 1991)
Shelly > May 15, 2008 Lollipop Power! Maybe this is why my little walker decided to take off in yesterday's photo. Mommy and Daddy give him healthy food. The photographer brought candy. I've probably ruined him for life with his very first sugar buzz, but we'll do anything for a good shot. Here are the rest of the images from his session. This little guy is so adorable that it would be hard to go wrong. http://spccreative.smugmug.com/gallery/4938106_Jj6PJ#295304066_Eod5d
Shelly > January 2, 2009 Foggy New York Night Sky Two versions today of the same photo. This one is color corrected using curves. In the original version, the lights gave the image a golden tone and a warmer feel. I can't decide which one I like best. Perhaps it will just depend upon my intended application. What's your thought? What feelings do the different tones convey to you? Here's the link to the original. http://spccreative.smugmug.com/gallery/6974854_W6tQH#447151943_C3qia
Shelly > June 16, 2009 Quality Time Sometimes I just enjoy a little bit of hammock time near the end of the day. I've discovered that if I sit sideways rather than lying down I can hold up a magazine or even enjoy a drink without spilling it all over myself. Now Lucy has evidently discovered the pleasure of hammock time too. Mike took this picture for me. Every ONCE IN A WHILE it's kind of fun to be in front of the lens rather than behind the view finder. "Delusions of grandeur make me feel a lot better about myself." -- Jane Wagner
Shelly > December 3, 2008 Mawmaw More Thanksgiving Blessings Revealed This is my grandmother, Hannah! She is nearly 93 years old, lives on her own, and is by far the most popular person at dominoes and at the Wal-Mart Coffee Clatch. She's even the organizer of a new "walking group" in her hometown. Why? Probably because of the philosophy that has defined her life as long as I can remember. "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." And she has PLENTY to say! Bet you thought that was Thumper's line . Thumper learned it from Mawmaw when she fed him specially prepared salads on her back porch.
Shelly > April 10, 2009 A New Dilemma Two friends, one breakfast. What to do? Addie has always been my little breakfast buddy, and she loves to lick the inside of the yogurt container before it goes into the recycle bin. Now Lucy wants in on the action. Sometimes I feel like I'm raising pre-schoolers again with these two. Who can sit? I can . . . I can. At least they are learning to take turns. "Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits." -- Thomas A. Edison
Shelly > January 18, 2009 I'm Just a My-Cereal Girl! Thanks to my goofy hubster for the great headline. I was photographing my Sunday breakfast when he came into the room and started singing and dancing. I couldn't top that if I tried -- but why would I want to? Multi-grain Cheerios and bananas. Natural sunlight through a dirty window.
Shelly > June 27, 2009 HOT ENOUGH . . . We've been breaking 100 and setting heat records for the last five days. I think we've topped 95 every day since the first week of June too. Definitely smart to curtail the outdoor activities for the most part. I tried frying an egg on the sidewalk when I was a kid, and got fussed at for making a mess and wasting the egg. Now I'm the grownup and I'm paying for the groceries. After about 30-45 minutes the egg did start firming up a bit, but it certainly wasn't anything I would have served to company. Probably should have sprayed the concrete with Pam before I started. No worries about the mess. Lucy was happy to handle cleanup. "What dreadful hot weather we have. It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance." -- Jane Austen

A New Dilemma

Two friends, one breakfast. What to do? Addie has always been my little breakfast buddy, and she loves to lick the inside of the yogurt container before it goes into the recycle bin. Now Lucy wants in on the action. Sometimes I feel like I'm raising pre-schoolers again with these two.

Who can sit?
I can . . . I can.

At least they are learning to take turns.
