Photos from the road less photographed...

I am not sure how often I will post for the next bit...but I find myself with a little bit of time here and there. I am in the process of trying to decide on what kind of laptop to purchase so if you have one that you are really pleased with, feel free to tell me in the comment section. Or if you know a good graphics card, I wuld be happy to know that. This computer slows down soooo much when I am in the mood to play with my photos--trying different filters, etc.

I have had some kind of flu or allergies that have really had me down physically--just slowed me down so bad. Then there are three of us trying to use one computer so I am either going to just post when I find a minute or else try to develope some new habbits.

Anyway, some of you may recognize these photos from my other blog...I am going to put my favorites from it on here because I think they are worthy of a bigger audience than it had. So click and enlarge and I hope you enjoy them.

Leave of absence

I do not know what is wrong with blogger this morn. I am attempting to post this....it will be my last post for a while. Probably a good long while. Just wanted to forewarn you till you didn't keep coming back. Not even sure that I will continue with Paintbox or The World in Black and White.

Oldies, but not goldies...

I won't even say click to enlarge, because I am not sure it improves any of them much. But I still sort of like them. they are from Mar of 95, though I accidentially saved one as March 96. I will have to remember to correct that.

The first one is not a fire or anything, it is just late evening and the mist starting to rise. I love to witness this, but have never got any good pictures of it.

The next two are sunsets, with the last being a double exposure. But I cannot remember where I was. Maybe I will play with it in the photosoftware and see if I can come up with something for Paintbox Pictures.

Otherwise, I have not done much today. Fixed a big pan of chicken stir-fry for us to have...and late this evening we went and got our trailer and headed over to Brazil (in Indiana, of course) to look at a couch and chair for Rachel. An individual had them for sell...I would not have carried them home had she given them to us. She was asking $100 for the loveseat, chair and ottoman. They were in horrible shape. I am sure I missed some because I seen enough early on that we didn't want to spend anything on them. The cushions had patches in several places and there were holes where the fabric had just worn totally through. And the chair arm and ottoman had definitely been worked on by a cat. Just thread pulled every where.

I would be about ashamed to set something out like that for free, much less ask for money for it. With the looking we have done for stuff for her, I have come to the conclusion that I am crazy for throwing anything away. Someone will always want it. Which, we do put things out and put a sign on them that says 'Free.' Usually, even though the sign is on them, people will come to the door to make sure it is free.
