Sepia...

I am posting a little bit early again for Sepia Scenes, but we will be down at Sarah's again tomorrow if nothing happens so I thought I would post it now while I had the chance. I thought I would show you one of the photos as it was taken.
I first tried them in sepia a week or so ago, and thought I really liked them better. Then tonight at first glance I wasn't sure, but the more I look, the more I think I do prefer the sepia tones.

I am sorry I keep posting barns, but I really am not having much time to work on photography...I am really anxious to try something besides barns/outbuildings some time soon. I hope.

If you want to join or see more sepia scenes, go see Maryt/the teach at Sepia Scenes or click on the badge at the top of this post.

Maybe...

We may be in line for a little bit more of this white stuff...I look forward to it while at the same time I dread it for people that have to drive in it.
I look forward to driving the back roads, though. I just hope to have the chance to go if we do get some.
These are from weekend before last. Almost the last I will post from that day. I am not getting much time to take any pictures.

Odds and ends....

I could not choose which I liked best between these two versions...I must say that the first one is probably more true to life...I clicked auto contrast in Photoshop Elements 2 to get the second version.
These other shots are just odds and ends...
the one above is very grainy, and just a tad bit out of focus.
And I found these twisted vines interesting.
And the above was an actual tree that had at one time or another had a vine around it. I had to use auto contrast to make this picture worth viewing...the original was much to dark. I worked on it with fill flash and the hue and saturation, but auto contrast got the most viewable picture.

It is a VERY cold day here in Indiana...the wind just howled last night. I got up this morn and the house was cold...someone had turned the heat off yesterday! I thought it a miracle that the thermometer read only 64 degrees F. As cold as it is outside, that was a blessing. The prediction calls for it to stay in the lower 20's, with a few snow flurries but no accumulation. Along with gusts of wind.
