Fall
Fall in east Tennessee...if I didn't dread winter so much, I could enjoy this time of year much, much more! This has been one of the prettiest falls in awhile--beautiful clear blue skies, great color on the trees, and pretty decent weather; cold at night, but up into the 70s most days
This is a picture I took on a quick-little outing one day last week, which I then played with in Photoshop.

Cumberland Falls
My sister and I went to Cumberland Falls on a very cold January day. It was a good time to go, because recent heavy rains made the falls pretty spectacular, and there weren't very many people there because...did I mention it was really cold?!
Anyway, it was absolutely beautiful with not just the waterfall, but all the ice-falls cascading the rocks nearby. We took nearly 300 pictures! Praise God for digital cameras...take all the pictures you want, and you still don't have to buy more film!
Anyway, these are just a few that I thought would be fun to play around with...there may be more later.

This is one of my favorites; it was a neon-chalk effect

A little Bugged
Nothing arty about this, really, I just thought it was pretty cool. Recently, our scout troop was doing the flag ceremony for a grocery store's grand opening. While we were waiting for time for the ceremony, two of the boys saw these two different insects on some rocks out in the parking lot; they picked the rocks up and acted like they were going to pit the bugs against each other...only imagine their surprise when the little critters actually DID attack each other!
They were almost as surprised as I was when I realized I'd gotten as good a picture of it as I did!


The little stink-buggish critter won, by the way; it not only struck first, but the grasshopper kinda struck back real fast and then hopped as hard as it could to get the heck out of Dodge!
And at least ONE of the boy scouts screamed like a girl....but I won't say WHICH one...

Happy New Year!
My exciting New Year's Eve consisted of watching Auburn beat Clemson in OT, and then watching the ball drop at Times Square...my youngest teen was already sound asleep as 2008 rolled away and my eldest greeted the new year playing Xbox...wow, gotta keep the thrill level down!
Welcome 2008!!! Now, I'm going to bed...

I'm too tired to play with the pics...note the time in the bottom right of the second pic--pretty good timing!

Rose of Me
In the posting on Sept 4, I mentioned how random flowers have popped up in my mostly barren yard, the most recent being a Rose of Sharon (okay, I don't know my flowers all that well, and this could easily be a hibiscus rather than a true Rose of Sharon...but hibiscus doesn't have my name in it, so that's just not as cool...)
Anyway, I mentioned that I had not yet been able to get a good picture because they hadn't really bloomed out well. The very next day, of course, they were suddenly out en masse...all white, except for ONE purple bloom...crazy.
Anyway, here's a few pictures of them I've played with:
