Sweet Outing

One other photo that reveals something dear to my heart.  This is my In Focus group formed by the common love of taking photographs.  One of the group sent out an email called Whipped Cream that  encourages women to start each meal with dessert since life is short.  We all met a Wegmens today before the girls game and had dessert for lunch.  The chocolate cake in the foreground is rich and delicious and shows another love of mine--chocolate.   We always meet to photograph and also include a stop for a meal.  Friends mean everything to me.

Pink Players

This afternoon my husband and I were at the Lady Lions game, and they had a twenty point lead.  They played fantastic in the first half, but ending up losing the game.  I felt really bad for them, but it makes me wonder what the real issue is.  Today the whole place was pink.  The players, fans, and most important, the cancer survivors were dressed in pink.  It is very inspiring to see how we are making progress fighting cancer.

Super fans

This is a picture of my husband and me attending the PSU men's basketball game yesterday.  We go to many Penn State sporting events.  Yesterday the guys beat Minnesota 68-63.  It was a fun game with a large enthusiastic crowd. 

My Space

This is our basement and the place that my husband and  I spend most of our time.  This is the view from my recliner.

Impressionistic Me

This is a self portrait that was difficult to do.  I took it through a piece of shower glass but it had to be cropped dramatically.  Pretty interesting.

One great love...tennis

On Wednesday morning, when I played tennis up at the PSU Tennis Center, I decided to take a self portrait of myself.  I put the camera on another chair and set the timer and got in position.  Tennis is one of my favorite things to do so I thought it was representative of me.

Odd results

I got the brilliant idea of putting some color in the decanter to get more play of color and thought of M & M's.  Then I thought, what if the M & M's get stuck in the bottom of the bottle?  It was also still wet.  Then I chose to put them under the top of the decanter and zoomed in as close as I could.  It wasn't enough so I had to crop it quite a bit.  I'm not wild about it, but the process was fun.  I am glad that we had this assignment because it challenged me to see one object in different ways.
