Practice, practice…
I’ve been very frustrated lately because I haven’t been able to get out of the office and up to Yosemite for waterfalls, reflections in the meadow, corn lilies in the high country. Fortunately, my water lilies are in bloom and I check them out every day. We had an amazing rain storm Tuesday night and the next morning, and so I took a lunch break on my patio. My water lilies had been washed clean and were gleaming with water drops. I used my trusty 90mm Tilt Shift lens, making two frames to merge into this square composition using Photo Merge in Photoshop CS5. The storm was starting to clear, with the sun on the edge of a cloud which gives this image a fresh and sparkling mood.
So when I finally get up to Yosemite Valley next week, I’ll have had recent practice. Practice seeing every day, get your camera out whenever and wherever you get inspired, and be ready for the next opportunity. Oh yes, and it might just happen in your back yard!
Enjoy, Bill

Very beautiful picture. It’s spring where I live and all of the flowers are just beginning to bloom. I think it’s the most beautiful time of the year.

Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability
and appearance. I must say you have done a superb job with this.
Additionally, the blog loads extremely fast for me on Safari.
Outstanding Blog!

Currently it seems like Drupal is the top blogging platform
out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re
using on your blog?

Oh, Finn, please do1&;82n7#t tell me… What is it with women and smoking? I don’t have any male friends who smoke.I almost got into a verbal spat with when I found out that a lovable knitting blogger once LOVED SMOKING! My goal for this week is to make everyone quit for good!Katie — I need to check out those tests. I’ve never done them.

You picked out very pretty pieces! I thought of going to Target for this event, but I decided not to. I always ask myself- if there wouldn't be that designer tag, would I still buy it?Good lubc.skinnymoonstick!klogspot.com

160I completely agree – he looks the goods. And for some reason he is somewhat under the radar. I don’t know that there are any sure thing 1st round WR talents in this draft, but the 2nd and 3rd rounds should have some quality. And Wheaton is right up there with the best of them in this draft.

Let’s see..stop wearing the stupid sunglasses when doing an interview. It is such a sign of an individual not aware of proper presentation. Could you explain to me the last time anyone has ever saw someone in a profession doing an interview with sunglasses on their forehead (any example will do).
