intermittent fasting and sunset #42 of 52

This diet -- low carb combined with intermittent fasting -- works. The bad news is, I'm HANGRY. This only eating between 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM sucks. I want food at 10:30 or so... even something low in calories would be just fine. But nope. Ya get nada. 🤐 I like...

more rain and sunset #41 of 52

I love drinking my first cup of coffee outside by the pool. I get my phones and head for the adirondack chair while the puppies take to the yard. It's peaceful out there except for an occasional distant moo sound from farmer Rex's cows. After a hard rain, I can hear...

Summer was in full swing... for maybe 3 days. Yesterday it rained ALL DAY LONG and today we have cooler than normal temps. Not swimming weather... again. I did catch a ASNutiful sunset though and it's #39 of 52. My phones' cameras aren't good enough. It's time to...

a different variety of sunset, but it’s #37 of 52

I took the photo below a few evenings ago. Later, I read that evening's sky in particular was the subject for many others to capture. Not only does this image capture the crescent moon, but that bright star is Venus. Back on schedule! This week should've included...

the deck is DONE… and sunset #36 of 52

the deck is DONE… and sunset #36 of 52

The pool deck is complete. I don't know what I expected, but it turned out better than whatever that was. The last thing we needed was more decking, so I didn't want to go overboard -- but we had to have a way to easily get in and out of the pool. I'm looking forward...

sunset #35… and how to shoot in manual mode

It's so easy to set your camera in auto mode and snap away. But in manual mode, you can capture what YOU think is important and not what your CAMERA thinks is important. The exposure triangle consists of 3 things and the goal is to get your light meter to ZERO:...
