Morning Light - Click to Pittock Mansion

A new friend and I took the morning and went out for a photo-jaunt. We started with good morning light and soon ended up in the fog. We shared some digi-talk and improved our skills. I am grateful for my new friend and the delete button.

Her name is Shaddow. She said she was a special child of God and asked if I could spare a dollar. When I shook her hand, her fingers were icy cold. I could tell she was special. Her heart was warm and her smile filled with hope. Stay in the light Shaddow.


A cold look down and a foggy look up.

Red Robin Photo Challenge - Past VS. Present

Round Robin Photo Challenge: Past VS. Present

Thanks to my friends at Round Robin (Karen and the gang...) for the most fun way to share photos. I messed up the last challenge by not following the directions (pretty embarrassing, seeing that I'm a teacher and should be able to follow some basic instructions). My problem might not be "reading" but rather my limited ability at the blogger thing.

My Before and After? The front yard. I decided to remove a diseased pine tree. It dropped its last needle on my lawn! The best thing though, the neighbors showed up and helped my cut it down and haul it away. I love my neighbors. True Community.

Well, here's the before.


And the during...



Here's the after.

Whew.

See below for my own little photo challenge.
