January 19

I have been reading all about eyes on DPS and so I took quite a few macro shots of the most beautiful eyes in my world.

I took this one of my rosary while waiting around in the car. The more I look at it the more I like it.



Dirk took these two on the way home. He was fascinated with the effect and just kept clicking away.

I was playing with Depth of Field for the DPS assignment while walking the dogs this morning. I am going to have to try again when I am not distracted by the blind deaf CoCo and the leash yanking Angel. It was nice to wake up to snow, even if it was just here for an hour or so.

I didn't take it, but ...

It was taken and sent to me on the right day! I am still up to my nose in old pictures. This is the first official fitting of 'the dress'. Kayleigh's will actually be a touch longer and ivory in color. The person taking the picture needs a few pointers :)

edit: Not sure why this went to draft instead of post, hopefully it posts today.

Starting a scrapbook.....

My sister and I are going through all the old photos to find the very few that are there of my mom. Some we are just cutting up, some we are scanning and cutting up, and some I am taking photos of and trying to retouch a little. I don't want them to be perfect, because I like the aged look, but it is nice to fix some of the water damage.

This is Mom's senior picture. It is one that was very damaged. I think it is a little less noticable now.

She was loved and she will be missed

I have an amazing family. Mom's soul has passed on to another realm of being, but her spirit and love will remain with us, guiding us for a long, long time to come. She is out of pain and at peace. I am at peace with that.

This week

Ginger, at the hospice center taking care of Mom.
The view since Thursday....
The flowers were pretty, but...
The stems were fascinating.
The recliner we take turns sleeping in.
Wonderful supportive family and friends that make suprise smiles possible.
