Day 13

What if I can't decide which photo to put up for day 13? I liked them both, and everyone (in my family) I asked, was divided. So, here I am posting 2! Is that even allowed? Will beat 365 come and give me a ticket? Oh well. I'm doing it! I've tried to be so good.. it's not working. At least (for now..never say never) I am taking each photo on the day it is supposed to be done. Those are the rules, right?

I froze at the park today, but only for a few minutes. There were so many cool things up for grabs.. here are a couple, then I can't decide between the last two.

Hey, if I'm not "following" you and your blog, please post your site address in a comment so I can find you. Sometimes when I click on the name/photo of someone who commented, I don't see their site, only those they are following or sometimes nothing. Thanks! And, I SO appreciate the support from all of you. You're the best!

 Just for fun

I used the saturate sponge to bring out a little more color.

I darkened up the trees and creek bed with the burn tool.

Day 6

Today was cold, but beautiful! There were birds pecking on *my* roof that woke me up this morning. I couldn't figure out what it was, so I ran to the window, and saw them all over my garage, too. They had scraps of bread my son had left for them, and flew up to the frozen rooftops to peck away at the pieces. It sounded like a woodpecker above me head!

So, the perfect 365 student I was trying to be, leaped out of bed and grabbed my camera. This would be the coolest shot! All these birds in the neighborhood.. only on my roof! I silently open the window, and poof! they were gone. 

Back to the drawing board today on what to find, but after dinner, the sun was setting, and I saw the light reflecting off of the swimming pool. Well, the ice - covered cover of the pool. It sort of looked like waves on the ocean.
