Pixture of the Week 2015.9

It's another weekend w/ snow here in Colorado.

We did walk to the restaurant for lunch .... but mostly it's an inside day.

And that means lots of .... zoned out in front of the TV.

I am really liking the photo program (Camera+) .... that I bought for my phone.

This is one of the many good pixtures I am getting with it.

A hotspot on his nose .... that I could probably have fixed in manual mode.

Then into Lightroom, where I took out all the Contrast .... to get this look.

Pixture of the Week 2015.8

The big blizzard forecast for this weekend.

Was still pretty ordinary as of Saturday morning.

Pretty,  in fact,if you looked in just the right places.

Pixture of the Week 2015.7

Every other Saturday at our house .... Grandkid day.

The breakfast of choice on those days is .... chocolate chip pancakes.

Valentine's Day is a big favorite .... with the smallest of that crowd.

So when all of that comes together .... there is only thing that makes sense.

Heart shaped ..... chocolate chip pancakes. 

Using the Aldrich Guest House recipe .... which has been the favorite around here, for longer than some of them have been alive.

 

Pixture of the Week 2015.6

I'm going to cheat a little bit with this week's pixture .... because it's not one I took this week.

But instead one of the shots from our Maui vacation .... a couple of weeks ago.

Not too far from our hotel was a small local park.

We had decided to do a picnic dinner there one evening .... to watch the sunset.

The picnic table we chose had a great view .... through this tree and out to the sea.

Not too long before the sunset action heated up .... this gentleman arrived.

He obviously had "his spot" .... and set up to wait for the good stuff.

I have to tell you I was just a little irritated as this unfolded. 

As I had imagined a people in the picture .... and certainly not one I didn't know.

But in the end it made a great pixture .... don't you think?
