Musical Monday and Sunset Pictures
Okay, I have to play another one now - another wonderful blues song because now I'm in the Blues mood. This is another song from Putumayo's Blues Around The World CD: Catfish Blues by Taj Mahal & The Culture Musical Club of Zanzibar. It's such a perfect blues song and I could listen to songs like this all day long!
Go visit WDKY to find out who else is playing along for Musical Monday!
I've spent a lot of time this weekend going through all the pictures I took last weekend and picking out the best ones. And I started just fiddling around with Photoshop a little, although not on any of these. Anyway though, I like to share the pictures I love, so here are a bunch of sunset photos taken on three nights. They make me feel relaxed and peaceful tonight when I look at them!
Sunset from our dock - I love the clouds!
I love how the clouds look like upside-down mountains, and their reflection is so powerful.
Swans in the sunset.
Wider angle of the sunset, and the lovely colors of the sky.
This is one of my favorite pictures - the blue and orange of the water, the swan, a path of water in the foreground from a small boat that just went by, the speedboat in the background pulling a tube, and then the dark treeline and peek of orange sky - I love it.
I love the colors reflected on the water! Fishing in the fading light (and the black blob is a swan who wouldn't work with me and take it's head out from under the water!)A jetski in the reflection of the sunlight.
Rays from above - I love it when this happens, I always feel like Heaven is looking down on us :)
I went outside this evening and it was wonderful - the smell of autumn was everywhere and so powerful, it was chilly and windy and my hair was whipping all around - I felt so alive and the air was so invigorating and put such an excitement in me!!! I just adore fall!!!
Other than that, I didn't do much this weekend. I know I was all gungho (sp?) at the end of last week - and I still am, for real! But I slept in a lot on Saturday which was good because I really needed to catch up on sleep, and I also got my period on Saturday which was a little surprising because it seems like I just had the last one. I did straighten up and clean a bit, and I went through pictures and all that stuff, and caught up on reading blogs, and started researching a bit about photoblogs. And I cuddled a ton with my babies! And today I caught up on Project Runway because Bravo was having a marathon (very important, I know). But I didn't DO much more than that. Which, as I think about it now, is really fucking frustrating! Where did all the time go and how could I possibly whittle it all away like that and do nothing?! HOWEVER, I'm going to calm myself down because it's in the past now and I can't do anything to change it. Before I go to bed tonight in a bit, I'll make a list of all the things I'll do tomorrow - that makes me feel a little better! :)
And now, that's all for tonight. I'm going to wash my face for bed and then read some stuff for work tomorrow. And I'm pretty damn tired, too - so I'm glad I'll be going to bed a little early tonight - and yay me, that's one of my goals!!! :)
