Only a few more weeks and I get to say bye bye baby bye bye to this weather for good. We have had day after day of rain here, damn I hate arthritis!
We decided to head out of town for the holiday, I seriously think we are traveling more in the past few months then ever. Figures right? It's not as if we're packing to move or anything important heh. In all seriousness though, we had to bring some of our furniture up to the cabin before the move. It was not going with us and we had to do something with it.
There was no rain in NH this weekend yay! We got to say goodbye to family we won't see for a few years. Alot of family was at the cabin for the weekend so we got so very little sleep :). On our way home we decided to try one last time to find "The Bridge of Flowers". It is right off of beautiful Rt. 2 that I have mentioned a few times. Well, we finally found it! Wow even with it being so early in the growing season there were so many flowers to see!
So what should have been a 3ish hour ride turned into almost 8 hours. But it was well worth it :)
I think I may be MIA til around the time of the move, I am really getting down to the wire with the move time about a month away. I still have so very much to pack and it is not going to get itself done. My list is growing daily instead of shrinking!

So that is my schedule for the next month. I took a bit of a break yesterday and played with some old macro extension tubes that I had bought when I first got my canon. I am thinking I may like these better then the macro coupler I just bought!
Enjoy and may you all have a wonderful month! Hopefully I will have time to check in now and then :)
I love Textures, I love grunge, but there was no group here devoted to the two things I love. So here it is, hope that it is enjoyed and used well.

It's alive and fed on my whole weekend, and for those of you on my Berkshire Memories friends list, this will be a double post lol.
The site is finally up! It took me a couple years to finally... finally! Find a gallery that I like, this has been an ongoing search ever since I built our family site a few years ago. That site is also going to take up tons of time now to get it up and active. But for those of you interested... voila, here it is!
Berkshire Memories Photography in it's infancy
So, I was in church yesterday listening succinctly the the Pastor preaching, enjoying what I was hearing and a thought suddenly popped into my head about photography....
:o
It was an idea on where to take it, and... well... when a thought comes to you in Church, you act on it! So the site is now being built finally (about time I got off my lazy butt and started it!) and I have the first page semi built.
So my list for this week...
- Clean up and organize all pictures on my computer
- Finish learning Dreamweaver
- Finish working on the site and build a photo gallery
- Find models to put that idea to good use!
- Clean the house!!!
Well, it has taken almost a year of deciding.
Should I do this?
Do I need this?
Can I afford this?!
So yesterday I received a mail...
Enrollment discount included...
So yeah, today I signed up! I am now finally going to New York Institute of Photography. I cannot wait to get my first courses now!
On a side not at least I will be kept busy the next couple weeks while I wait for them.
We leave for the Caribbean on the 18th! I am hoping to have some amazing pictures upon our return.
Chilly as it has been, the fireplace has kept us warm. But the beauty that I saw outside the window as I woke up this morning was..... breath taking.
So, I have been sweating the past couple weeks, well ok, the last month about the purchase of the camera and well... this morning we finally did it! We clicked *buy now* /dies a little
So we are now the soon to be proud owners of a Canon XTi 400D along with all the bells and whistles that came with it! I think I am still sweating bullets though, even though I have been researching which camera I want for months now I was still so omg nervous about making such a large purchase...
I think I need some more caffeine now to calm my heart right? hehe
