a whiff of spring

under the weather

I usually don't post too much about

non crafty things

but I've been sick with some kind of bug

for two days now

and I thought it would be nice to

look back on my healthier, non-sick days.

I don't know about you,

but when my health's not doing so hot

I can't help but be more grateful

when I'm feeling good.

These photos were taken just this past Saturday

when the weather was nice and perfect

for a scooter ride to Lake Michigan.

But scooter rides in 70 degrees

feel more like 40 degrees,

hence the gloves...jacket...and head scarf.

Still, it was very fun. The water looked

so fresh and clear and the trees

were especially bright green now

that spring really hit us.

Love it.

be productive

When I have a long list of things to do,

I write myself an extra note of

encouragement that says:

BE PRODUCTIVE.

Sometime I ignore the note,

or sometimes I just get distracted

by something called the internet.

I've gotten some stuff accomplished since

I woke up at 8:30 this morning.

But I knew it wouldn't feel worth it

if I wouldn't finally post on my blog.

So here's what I owed you guys

since my last post from some

many days ago.

.i am lazy.

I was planning to post this photo on Easter

but like the blog title says...

I sort of excuse it as I'm busy

but that's not always true.

If you can't tell

the leaves look like bunny ears

poking out of the ground.

so cute.

I plan to post a couple more ttv photos

hopefully this upcoming weekend.

Praying for some good weather

and energy to be productive &

stop blog surfing.

Which is what I was doing for the past

three hours before I posted this.

budding inspiration

Here are some of the other

TTV's I said I'd put up.

I'm very happy with them.

Such a breath of fresh air

and a lovely reminder that spring

is here.

Enjoy!

and more to come

I had no work today and so this morning

I played around with my camera again,

doing more "through the viewfinder".

And since it was actually light out,

I got some nice results.

Here are just two, I will post

more up tomorrow...

I just have to straighten and crop them.

And doing that to over 50 photos

takes awhile.

Might I just add that today is

so so so

gorgeous where I live.

78 degrees and windy.

Love it :)

through the viewfinder

I've been wanting to play around with some

ttv

(through the viewfinder)

for awhile now.

It's when you take a photo

with a digital camera

THROUGH the viewfinder of another camera.

I took these shots through my Yashica.

It's really fun to do

and the results can be really beautiful.

In my case it was getting a little dark out

and I had to do some lens correction on

photoshop because I wasn't careful

and some of my shots weren't centered.

Overall I like them and I'm excited

to do more of these when it's brighter out.

I actually posted in my first post

that ttv's were something I

wanted to do more of.

yay.

check that off.
