Some more pictures from my new camera. Black and whites and Sepia.

I just heard the funniest story on the news. Some guy was robbing a store, and asked that they open the safe. They then told him that they do not have the combination and the manager was not there. So he left his phone number for them to call him when the manager arrived, that's right, so He could rob them again. So the Police called the number and he came to get the contents of the safe waving his gun around so the police shot him in the knee. I just don't understand how he thought this was going to work! Haha!

Things I care less for today:
1. noise =headache :-(
2. sore muscles from working out
3. the amount of stuff all over my house with nowhere to go but out.
4. getting measured for a brides maid dress and realizing my size.
5. learning to walk in high heels

Things I care deeply for today
1. Feeling a little fire under my ass to get housework and body work started and going
2. new camera ordered and in the mail
3. The sweet syrupy smell of spring on the streets of my town
4. the fresh rain on the sidewalk
5. new shows on TV again
6. my lovely husband who gives the best hugs in the world
7. my kitten who sleeps with her head next to my ear at night, purring frantically until she falls completely asleep or I do
8. I mailed a package to someone yesterday, I made a promise to her and followed through. Something I have been working on (I have a nasty habit of empty promises, I have every intention to do these things, I just don't and let them weigh me down)
9. new soft socks on my feet
10. baggy jeans and big sweatshirt, so comfy! not real cute, but COZY!


These pictures are taken around my SIL's massage office. She was working on poor husbands knotted neck and I went for a walk in the alley behind where she works with the promise to be careful and aware because of the mean man who lives in the woods. So off I went, snapping pictures of decaying mattresses, dropped off couches, and tossed truckloads of garbage. This seems unnecessary, the dump is only a few miles up the road and it is not that expensive to dump there. 

Have a great Tuesday everybody!

This is more of that back yard. Very interesting things found there.

I have been walking by this certain house, it is abandoned. It has two houses behind it, well a house and a concrete building. The concrete one gave me a creepy feeling, and there was a strange yucky smell too. Well, yesterday on my walk there were people working on the main house in the front. I asked if I could go in the back yard and take pictures as there seemed to be a lot of interesting stuff back there. He said yes, there was a lot of stuff back there and to have at it. So for the next hour or so I was back there. It was crazy! There was old garbage rotting back there, not like coffee grounds and junk mail garbage but things like old machinery, an early television, tires, short wave radios, speakers, metal drums, etc. Lots of rusting relics.

I walked back there and saw piles of stuff everywhere. So I take it slow, start with the garage house first and just work my way through the yard. Apples from the four apple trees squishing below my feet, stumps from newly cut bushes and trees grabbing my toes. Taking it slow, taking it all in. There is so much to see.

I must have taken close to 200 pictures (love digital!) I am getting better at framing at taking pictures. When I started taking pictures I would take 100 pictures and save maybe 25 after I cropped them down and changed the shading etc. But now, it seems I did not touch very many of these at all. I took over 300 pictures on my walk and posted almost 200 on flickr. I just feel like I don't want to miss anything. I get home and start to look through the pictures from my walk on the computer and I see details I had not seen while I was there and wished I had.

It seems I have opened a door inside of myself, I like what I have found.
