So last weekly winners, I lamented that I didn’t take many pictures. This week was the exact opposite. So this was hard to choose!! But I’m happy with my decisions.

Also, I got a new laptop this week, and as a result I’ve been MIA in the blogosphere. Also as a result, my old Photoshop program won’t install. So I’m using trial versions for now, and you’ll see my first tinkerings of Lightroom. Whoa learning curve! But also, Whoa, cool stuff! Now if someone can find me a leprechaun I can beat up for money I could buy it and Photoshop both!

I honestly didn’t get my camera out much this week. Weirdness. But be braced for me lamenting too many photos to choose from next week. LOL! Lots of fun plans ahead, so maybe a quiet week is just as well.

Nature’s beauty

August 6th, 2011 4 comments

As I drove home from an afternoon partaking in Tennessee’s tax-free weekend, the sunset caught my attention. It was GORGEOUS, and I tried to take a few photos with my phone at a stop light.

Yeah, it didn’t do the sunset any justice, so I drove to a park where I knew I could get a mostly-unrestricted view. I set for about fifteen minutes watching the sun sink slowly. It was beautiful. It was peaceful. It made me appreciate my day. It made me happy to be going into the weekend.

269: Sunset on another week

As the sun ducked below a lower level of clouds, I turned to leave. The view I saw took my breathe away.

RainbowIn that moment, no matter what direction I looked, all I saw was beauty of nature. It felt like God giving me a big hug. I felt so lucky. I felt so humble. I just stared and stared. I sat another five to ten minutes, staring at the rainbow until it faded away. I drove home with a whole new peace and joy in my heart.

Happy Weekend, everyone. May you find peace and joy in your heart as well.
