This is where I spend an inordinate amount of my time. There are many, many things I dislike about this room. But I don’t want to talk about that. It’s depressing. Let’s focus on the positive. It has a window! And it’s clean and dry and not at all scary like the basement of my house.

I wasn’t in much of a picture taking mood today, so I just snapped this on my way to bed. Sorry.

It’s a good thing I can get cookbooks from the library. I have a feeling I will not be mastering anything here.

She volunteered for this. It’s too bad she won’t always be do eager to do the chores.

I tried to be different with the backlight and over-processed look. I don’t think it’s a huge success, but the whole point of this is to try different things, right?

Heaven in a pan. It’s not a very good picture. I was too hungry to spend more than about 5 seconds on it.

Pretty trucks all in a row.

I need to learn about using my flash and/or post processing. Especially working with RAW. I really want to. But I can’t seem to make myself do it.

P.S. I totally did not arrange the trucks like this.

The moon stayed out late this morning.

Kid in laundry basket and laundry all over the floor. Sigh.

Today was in fact warmer than yesterday, so on my way to the grocery store I took a detour by the park. Warmer is a relative word, and my detour lasted all of 5 minutes. I need to find some gloves I can use with my camera. Boots would have been a good idea, too.
