My Boredom Cures

How do you cure boredom?Plinkuy again you ask the inner self question ...but I needed to know what boredom is...so searched the wikipedia and it says Boredom is an emotional state experienced during periods lacking activity or when individuals are uninterested in their surroundings.....hum?that about sums up me ......when there needs to be thinking through things or one has grown tired of every day things... I iron............I pull out the ironing board and the iron and the stack of clothes in the ironing basket get a once over....while ironing I talk to myself or scream out things to the non existent person in the room...on and on til the basket is empty or the problem is ironed out in myself ...



And what's your Plan B if you find you're still bored?I add music to the mix and dance around while ironing ....



The photo I added is a tangle of ice and hoarfrost covered twigs on a tree in my front yard

Miracles

Things are happening all around us ,and we are so busy we can not keep up .....news.news, and all we hear and see is the things that are happening ....take time to enjoy today the little things that are just as important as the things the news reports...today I am catching snow ..and watching miracles happen ......

Catching Snow

Today my thing is about catching the light so that things show up correct in a photo…ha.ha .I know nothing !I tell you! I know nothing at all about it ..I just try hard to get what I see to come out in the photo…I could not tell you how to do it even if I tried…..here are a few tries to capture snow ..they are not great but I did get the snow ….

I am just a lady with a really great camera..trying to capture my world the best I can….so today my camera only pointed out the kitchen window and tried to capture mother nature doing her thing ,,,,,guess I should clean the kitchen window huh?

Almost There

Here are a few photos of Gun Sight Mountain on the Glenn Highway in Alaska,,,the forces of nature cut a square of the top of the mountian which looks like a gun sight...things like winds and ice and extreme temps ,rivers and streams make this type of thing happen to the mountains in the area .....fall colours were just coming into the area as we were traveling around the highway ...I took the bottom photo into my photo program and tried film grain and black and white ...

Good Bye Thanksgiving and Christmas

Well the day arrived last week , we said good bye to Thankgivings and Christmas.It was a long time coming .We fed them ,watered them, even taught them to make warning sounds if any thing or anyone came around ...but it was time for them to go ...any longer and neither would have fit into the freezer or the stove...
Son had to do the killing ..we all had grown to love them...It is hard to raise food ...

I am Back

Wow! I have been a way a very long time..Sorry I became a new grandmother, travelled around the state of Alaska many times and started new blogs.....clicking so many photos along the way ...but being ever so tired....I don't have jet lag I just have LAG big time...here is hoping to catch up soon...I have learned all about Facebook Farmville,making screen prints from my own photos,laws of blogging,typing with fingers that don't want to work and just life in general.....learning to use Plinky and wordpress.com and the ends and outs of husband raising chicken in Alaska...I am Back
