I really do not like the way the YAPB shows the picture in my post. I think I am just going to stick with thumbnails in the body. I wanted to post a big and small version of the same picture. Really just for me to see how it looks. It is actually snowing right now. I have tons of video on You tube of the snow. I have been doing some POV videos of me driving. Dont worry I am being safe. I mount the camera so I am not trying to drive and film at the same time. I might mount my dslr and take some pics…hmm I guess I need to focus on that since I like driving and photography so much. I just need to drive around and take more pictures. I am seriously considering taking the train down to center city and taking some shots down there. I missed doing that during the last storm. Darn it I left my camera at home.

Here is the same picture but in the actual full resolution from my camera. Of course I have been absent from photoshop for some time. So any of my pics are au naturale!

Ok, so that is totally huge. I think it will be ok to just use the small one unless someone really wants to see the high resolution image. I know in today’s world of “High Def” everyone wants all those pretty images on their website. I will keep playing with it.
So this was from the Snowageddon storm we had in Feb. Right now we are under the Snow-a-cane, the return. It is actually snowing sideways right now. These pics were from the day after the snow stopped. We never really got to build a snowman, but the kids had a lot of fun playing in the snow.
I guess I have to write some more stuff so the post looks ok. I am so lazy, I would rather just type some fluff instead of figure out how to force the gallery to keep the 2×2 structure. Maybe there isnt, maybe word press is just like that. I used to find answers now I just come up with more questions. So I have to remember for now that if I have a portrait orientation then I have to type at least 150 words or more. If it is in landscape then I can probably get away with writing almost nothing. This is after all a photoblog. A picture is worth a thousand words, but that does not mean I have to write a thousand words!
We are expecting to get another foor of snow before the weekend is over…
I did not realize I had not posted any pictures in a while. Yesterday when we got home we saw these small lines in the snow. They were made by small twigs falling from the trees. IT looked pretty cool because the twigs made a deep slit into the snow. I thought one looked like a stick figure and Roman thought so as well. The only problem was that we had them in opposite positions. I made a hole where I thought the head would be. Roman said that he thought the head should go on the other end.
I will probably post some pics from the last big snow storm we had. We were outside playing snowball fights and trying to build stuff, but it was fun. It would have been more fun if I was not wearing jeans!
A good friend of mine, oops let me rephrase that, my Brother Robert sends out this weekly email. He is on facebook, but maybe I should get him a blog. So I am just going post what he emails me. I do not always listen to his message or anyone’s, but I have not grown up yet!
Can you believe another week gone by. Live life to the fullest every day.
Call an old friend and just say hi. Call a family member you haven’t talk to
in a long time and just tell them you love them. The days just go right by.
Keep all of your friends and family in your prayers for we know not what
they are going thru.

–2 Peter 1:5, NLT
So I was working on this problem at work just trying to use this grey matter that is in my head. I started thinking about other things like I often do when I try to focus. I have been having trouble focusing lately. I started taking an online class to finish up my bachelors degree. I have not been able to focus on that. I guess it does not help that it is an online course. when I am at work, I can’t focus on work. I am not really stressed out, but I just concentrate. I have so many loose ends in my life right now that it seems overwhelming.
I just took a pic outside of the window. I wanted to include some pic even if it just from my iPhone…
OK so I am lying, it is not a new picture. It is an old picture. I am not sure I ever posted it anywhere though. This photo was actually printed. The picture is of one of the runners/participants in the Karakung kids triathlon. I have covered this event a couple of times. It is really fun and really tiring. I always get tons of great shots. This year I took my son with me and he took some shots of his own. I put the camera on a small tripod about 8 inches off the ground next to the pool where the swimmers were getting out of the pool. I attached the remote release and had him sit there and told him to just push the button when someone passed by. He got some good shots. Since I set up the shot does that mean I got some good shots.
It is funny how the brain works. Well, not funny, but amazing. I was just sitting her talking to a worker just working on stuff. I was actually putting in my time sheet. Then I could here this song playing in my head. At least I hear music in my head and not voices…
I was trying to to think where I heard it. I am not sure if I got this right but I think it is Brian McKnight and it is called Back at 1. Then I remembered it was the song that Ray picked as one of his first songs during his wedding. I was actually working on posting some pics of my niece from that weekend. If anyone knows what condition I have please let me know. I do think that my mind is being altered in some way…hehe!
