Earlier in the week, we got a pretty good dose of fog. We could barely see but a few feet in front of us. The photos does no justice, but you get the idea. A few hours later, we went for another drive and the fog got thicker so you can't even see the trees... Continue Reading →
I once tried a home hot pot and loved it so much that I decided to just make it over stove top. My favorite was the Tom Yum. I buy the paste and add some lime leaves, galanga slices (if I don't have it fresh/frozen, I use the powder), lemon grass, whatever veggies I have... Continue Reading →
Last week daughter was on fall break from school and husband took some time off work so we decided to take a little car ride up to Evergreen to walk around the lake. We've been to the lake a few times (our family Christmas photo was taken there last year) but never walked around it.... Continue Reading →
Mom picked these cantaloupe from my plot at the community garden. All were orange inside but one. I didn't eat that one because I wasn't sure if it would taste right. I did taste the second smallest one and it tasted like cucumber. I'd love to grow more next year.
Class of 2020 will forever be one of the craziest graduation year of the century. This morning was my daughter's graduation ceremony and I'm still going through the feels. I literally have unshed tears lingering in my eyes all day. From the moment they sang The Star-Spangled Banner until now, my eyes have been wet.... Continue Reading →
Two weekends ago, Mom picked courgettes (aka zucchinis) and gave me quite a bunch. The baby ones were juicy and delicious grilled. The larger ones I boiled and bagged and froze for occasions when I want to have them with a meal. Mom did this when I was young and she still does it now.... Continue Reading →
I purchased a garden plot earlier in the year in a community garden near my parent's home to grow some of my favorite vegetables. Now, I'm no gardener so Mom is taking care of it for me. She loves gardening and asked me to buy a plot so she could tend to it. She's been... Continue Reading →
Took the Olympus to the front yard. The setting was on Shutter Priority Mode. Minor editing were done in Lightroom and Photoshop. Columbine. Pine cone from the giant pine tree in the yard. The tree is starting to brown at the top. I hope it's not a sign that it's dying. This is a ground... Continue Reading →
These photos were taken in RAW and converted to JPEG. Nothing else was done to them. I should also mention that the setting was on auto.
I purchased this camera on Amazon for $280. The original price was $600. The sale is still going on so if you have extra cash hanging around and want a small camera that can do big things, grab it before it's gone. I'm not being paid for talking about this camera. I'm just excited. It's... Continue Reading →
