We have a couple of old garden boxes in the backyard. This year we didn’t plant anything, but Lacy found a use for at lease one of them. She will go hang out in it and act as if it has some kind of force field around it that blocks sound, because when we call her she ignores us .

I really enjoyed the clouds as I was driving home today, so I decided to photograph them while slowing down for a traffic light. It was not until after I had clicked the shutter that I saw the cross on the hill. I love the way the brightest part of the image is in line with the cross. God is truly in the details of everything we do, even quick photography on my way home.

I decided to start something new on my blog called Photography Word Wednesday. Each Wednesday I’ll post a word or term related to photography. I hope you enjoy and learn a thing or two while you’re here.
This week’s words:
Ambient Light also called available or existing light – is the light that exists where a photograph is being made. Not light that has been brought by the photographer.
Would you eat something out of a bag left on a table, simply because a note told you and even said please?

This photograph was made in our flower garden, outside with no light modifiers. The sun was shining at just the right angle to give me a dark background and make the rose really pop. This photo was straight out of camera.

I really need to start using a pencil more. I found that if I just start writing, the process of putting ideas to paper leads to more ideas. I have to stop worrying so much about misspelled words (I’m one of the worst spellers around) and simply let the thoughts flow.

Today was the first day of school in our county and it was easy to tell by the number of kids walking home from school.
