Take a Picture?

I didn't even know it was supposed to snow. It did, and I had a nice LONG drive in to work yesterday. At least it kept things interesting, I guess.

One day soon I'll get out of the car and actually get a good picture of the river. Here you can barely see it. It's mostly frozen and snowy with the very middle still fast-moving and free-flowing. Not a bad place to have to wait while some geniuses try to push a car out of a snow bank with a truck.

The rest of these are all along one road, which was, thankfully, plowed and clear for the return trip!


These last couple are a huge icicle on the top/side of the house. I'm not really sure why the snow there didn't just slide off in a huge clump like it usually does, but here it is...

Post deep freeze. The water came back on and we showered. We got out of the house cuz we weren't smelly anymore.

 Despite how nice and toasty it looks outside, it was definitely not sweatshirt weather. In fact, it was still downright COLD.

He kind of missed the point of his fork. Twirling spaghetti around the fork? Why would I do that? I have spoon and knife! Still, it was a good day, and really nice to get out for a little bit.

My Android phone has some really cool apps. I personally gravitate toward the photo ones simply because I love taking really cool pics.

 These first pics were taken with the app called "Camera Fun Free" using the watercolor setting. I thought it was cool enough that a couple of these are set as my phone's wallpaper. Of course, little man thinks he's Mr. Cool, so he can't just pose for the camera like a normal person. He has to ham it up.




Oddly enough, this one makes him look like he just woke up. He had been up for HOURS, and this is just how the phone "drew" him.




This one used the canvas setting. I don't know if I like it so much, and I didn't really take very many pictures using it. Maybe it'll work better for outdoor snow shots.

This one was taken with the sketch setting. I admit I really like this one. It works really well on little man, but on pics of everyone else they have huge nostrils. I'll have to work with angles to see if I can get them to look passable.

This one is the "Camera 360" app. It has a TON of features and stuff you can do with the free version, and I haven't had a chance to really mess with it. Maybe this weekend I can play with it a little. Anyway, this was set to "back to 1839." Pretty cool, I think.










That's it for tonight. Hopefully over the course of the weekend I can get some more taken and some more put up. =)

I am entering the new year with a new blog! This one is for photos. I love taking pictures, and I've really slowed down on my picture taking because my facebook photo section is getting kind of overwhelming. So here I can post new pics, maybe some old pics, and tell a little story about the pics if one applies. It will also be a place where I can feature some of little man's pics because he got a camera from Santa and some of his shots are pretty amazing.

So, to get things started and so that this post doesn't look naked, here are a few of my favorites from 2010.
