Yesterday morning when I went out to get the paper i saw a wonderful full moon.  This morning (2 hours later than yesterday) I saw a beautiful sunrise over Asbury.  The sun was a brilliant red.  So I ran (actually more like a slow waddle) inside got the camera and hand-held a few shots of the sunrise.  I can tell you this image is not what I saw.  The sun was almost a blood-red.  It was red in the little LCD on the back of my screen but when I processed it there wasn’t nearly enough red.  I tried a number of combinations but this is the best I could do. 😦

Yesterday was a tough day.  Stressful situations I had to work through, news of friends with health issues and other things I cannot talk about.  I knew Jeanne was babysitting the grand kids so I decompressed a little on the drive home and thought I’d go over and play with the kids a little.  I enjoy visiting and playing with the kids but I’m not so much into babysitting so my visit was relatively short.  It was just about their bedtime anyway .

When I arrived at Angie and Ben’s home Gabby was in the lower den in her seat watching Jeanne and Joshua play.  After a nice greeting from Josh I sat down across from Gabby and smiled at her and said high.  In less than 30 seconds her pleasant peaceful face contorted into a mass of wrinkles and the tears begin to flow.

I’m getting a complex with her.  All she does is cry when I come near.

So I played a little with Josh.  He has such a vivid imagination and plays very well with himself.  He built a complex fence around his animals all the while explaining what he was doing.  I love the energy he has.  He never stays doing the same thing for very long.  Then its off to another adventure or project.

Speaking of projects, I finished my third 52 week project yesterday.  A new photograph every week for 52 weeks.  I expect I’ll start another one.  I’m still thinking about my next big project.  I thought about taking 365 different images of my car never repeating the same shot but then I guess that would be more like a copycat than anything.  🙂

That’s it for today.  Enjoy your weekend.  Thanks for stopping by and be careful.  Irish Hooley tonight.  I’m looking forward to it.
