Amusing myself

February 27, 2008

Funny how one thing leads to another… It is always fun to find out that someone new has found “From the front porch” and even more fun when it is someone who doesn’t know me. Yesterday I received a comment from a Jill Shalvis so off I went following her website link to see what she wrote about.

Turns out she writes about quite a lot! She is a best selling suspense-romance author as well as a fellow blogger. A visit to Amazon.com is in the works for me but as I perused her blog, I came across an entry titled How to amuse yourself. You should take a look at her entry as then this entry of mine will make a bit more sense. Plus, her entry is funny and we all need to laugh!

I’m not giving it all away, you need to click on the link and go look. Her “How to amuse yourself” entry reminded me of these photos - I took them last year on the property adjacent to mine in Montana. I had such fun looking at them again, I decided to share and everyone can laugh at me!

I had my “new at the time” camera that had a snazzy timer allowing me to set it on a tripod and have it take multiple shots at preset intervals. This entailed a lot of back and forthing on the snowshoes to get focus and background “right”. I wanted the mountains as the background so I had to put the camera some distance from where I needed to be in order to get them in the photo.

Off I go!

Oops!

Snowshoe Fall

At least I’m laughing!

A couple nights later, the full moon called me out to almost the same spot.

Karl, waited patiently while I fooled with the camera and settings…

A beautiful night with the moon, the mountains and my good dog - captured for remembering.
