Random Thoughts about life in general, living in the big city of Toronto
I just realized that since my husband came home sick last night that neither of use worked on putting up Photo Hunter photos for today! Ack! We’re both working on our late photo entries! they’ll be coming along shortly!
If you’ve come here looking for todays entry please return in an hour or so and I’ll have a nice photo surprise for you. LOL I mean I spent hours working on my photos yesterday … I should be able to find something to put up for the hunt.
I’m just about done all that photo editing. I can’t believe how long it’s taken. I have to remind myself the next time I get a camera in my hands not to take 100 photos! Geezz!
Well I have been busy photographing lots of things this week. In a little while I’ll be posting some recipes for some of the fantastic dinners we had this week – with pictures of course! Who knows, the way I’ve been cooking and talking about cooking this week perhaps I’ll even start up a recipe/cooking blog. Yummy. Hmmm maybe I’ll call it “Drool Worthy”? LOL
This photo may not be drool worthy, but it is a picture of my favorite little Japanese Maple tree in the back corner of my garden. I love this tree. It’s leaves just opened in the last day or so and it’s looking lovely:
You know what I hate about taking photographs? I take too many! I wish they were always framed just perfectly so I wouldn’t have to do anymore than upload them to my computer and use them as I wished.
Instead, I’ve been sitting here for a couple of hours going over my latest batch of photos – cropping images, creating duplicates that zoom in on aspects of the photograph that I want to highlight and so on. It’s kind of fun in a geeky kind of way, but when I’m not all that into it, it can sure be tedious.
I guess since I’m working on the photos you can expect to see a bunch of new photos across our sites over the next few days. Watch for them!
You know, it’s interesting how easy it is to make great connections over the internet. It seems that every week, or even almost every day, a new interesting opportunity comes my way. It might be a friendship, or it might be a business arrangement, it might even be an exchange of ideas or a promotional exchange.
One of the interesting connections that I made this week involves the Big Art Daily community. You might remember that I’ve written about Wallhogs in the past? Wallhogs are big prints that you can put on your walls.
Well, Scott from Wallhogs liked my post and many of the others that they received and decided to pass on a bit of linky love through their Wallhogs blog. I visited the site and thanked him for giving me a link back, and somehow we got talking about photography and I was invited to submit some of my photos to their “Big Art Daily” community.
They plan on featuring a photo a day and they have an open invite for all photographers to join in.
I think this is a great site, and a great way of promoting photography, and photographers. Through this connection my art work is promoted, as is my photo site Breath of Life Photography, and all of the photographers who connect with them and allow some of their photos to be published on the site are helping them out with their commitment to their Big Art Daily project.
If you enjoy great photography or if you’d like to join in, check out the site.
I’m just paying it forward. I’m pleased by the site, honored to have my photos promoted and wanted to get the word out to other photographers.
White Tulips
I was out doing my garden rounds on Friday, camera in hand, and I came across these lovely white tulips. I thought that they looks so pretty against the backdrop of our old wooden fence. The petals are so delicate and almost feather like when you look at them closely.
On Monday our weather is set to become much warmer. I believe we’ll start hitting the 70’s or higher consistently, so I must enjoy my spring flowers as much as possible because once it really warms up they will disappear quickly.
Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.
