Yard signs? have a happy creative time

signs for our sports teams in town and the town next to us.  I've done 70 so far with another 65 photos to be taken this weekend

I love it!

I agree and its so nice to be able to take holidays in quiet times as well  

In just a few years and there'll be grandkids and then you'll be doing it all over again. Take it from one who knows!

So glad you are able to take holidays. Have a very beautiful weekend my dear!

Its the worse place to go but thankfully I haven't had much work that needed doing over the years  

Mine was just a cleaning also.  But I have 2 old fillings (we are talking I got when I was late teens/early 20's) that need to be redone.  1 no issue, the other he's afraid is too big, and won't leave much tooth left so he wants to put a crown on it instead.  I understand doing that because the tooth in front of it I had the same issue 18 years ago.  It broke because it was an old filling that went bad and softened the tooth.  We tried to save it, and after trying everything ended up with a root canal/crown anyway.  

We checked off Delaware off of our list of visiting all 50 states.  That completes the East cost and all of the Midwest except Michigan. 

Baking, doing the laundry and cooking, nothing glamorous. Today finally I have found a space to scrap hope you are having a wonderful Sunday my dear ❤️

We are heading up North (Mackinac Island) with our 4 oldest grandsons for a week. It's fun but exhausting. Have a great week everyone!

Congratulations and well done to all of you!!

Have a wonderful weekend my dear and enjoy the time with your family

Good luck to him in this school year and be safe Colby!

How did this happen????

Where has the year gone?

Thank you so much! happy August my dear!

This is the 2nd thing I have seen about the 85mm lens.  Is it the new 50 mm?  That was all the rage for portrait photography when I started, but I can't give up my lenses with a range, lol.  My style of photography is more "in the moment" though.  I need the variations of lengths.  I love your techniques lately! Especially the carnival ones.  

I got an 85 1.8 two years ago to do a wedding. Our church is quite dark inside, I've had trouble getting good shots inside. When I was asked to take photos, I was terrified to mess it up, lol. The 85 was recommended. It took me a bit to get used to the single length.  Now I love it and use it a lot. During the past year and half I've told my grand kids it's my "social distance lens" lol! They had to be at least 6 felt away from me to get focussed.

@Laura I use my 28-75 99% of the time.  Love the flexibility of it, and I don't have to carry around different lenses depending on the area i'm in.  BUT Sony has discontinued their Amount cameras and lenses.  I had been wanting one, and I have a wedding in a few months the f1.4 will be handy for.  This was just way to good of a bargain to pass up.  I do also have a 50mm 1.8, that's about 30 years old and was one of my dad's original Minolta lenses.  My powder paint session I used that...and loved it

Oh wow I didn't realize there was a SmugMug plugin. I will have to check it out.

I had always used it for some basic edits: straitening, white balance, etc and to get rid of the ones I didn't want.  But I always did most of my editing in PS I was just so much more used to it.  I think it was a case of not having time to sit down and learn more about it, it was just easy to use what I knew.  But I've played alot these last few days and it was like lightbulb went off.  I will still probably use PS for some of the edits...but will use LR for so much more.

I will have to check it out

YES .almost Saturday....whoot  whoot

Happy weekend!!

...and look at that.   It's happening all over again...  ?

Its actually Friday here so your OK 

That's so funny, Jane!   I keep getting mixed up to this week, I think because of Monday being a day off for so many people.   But, then again - I get mixed up every week.  ?

That sounds like retirement...I never know what day it is.

Happy 4th of July to you!  Hope you guys have a wonderful day

Same to you, Angie.

Happy 4th July to you all.

It's been a really fun week Angie. Thank you and the team for all the planning!

I didn't know about the filter, I have to check it out, thank you so much for the information

I will have to check this out!

Oh, Be a I'm glad you are getting some help.   I've seen that in other areas where it IS heartbreaking to see peoples lives out on the street.    You have a good attitude, but it's still hard - sending thoughts and hugs to you and to all.  

You are amazing staying so positive and I'm glad you have help. 

Good luck to all that are affected my Mother Nature's fury...Thinking of you all.

I'm just seeing this, sounds like fun, heading over the thread. Angie dear, thanks for posting here, and thanks for the event. Happy 5 years celebration!! Nice weekend sweet lady!

Thanks Angie… I forgot to post the link here… at the dentist ugh.

(I sooooo wanted to drop a gif here, LOL)

I'm excited! ... ?

Have a wonderful day and a fabulous week ahead my dear ❤️

Storms like that are scary. Glad you are alright.

Glad you are alright, stay safe my dear.

Yikes! Glad you are OK! 

I think the Grinch stole it! It gone?

I too wondered the same, happy weekend Angie!

Thanks likewise! enjoy the weekend my dear!

Congratulations, Angie!!

Awesome! Will our Challenge Chase coupon work on it?

Congratulation Angie !

Friday is almost over here, but as day's go - it was a pretty good one. Hope yours is a happy day too.

My Friday was awful (received our yearly property tax invoice, paid a fortune at the vet for dog stuff and then both computers went dead) and I had some kind of stomach bug that took about 12 hrs to pass. But luckily by the end of the day I found out the computers were fine, it was the power surge battery backup unit that malfunctioned. It could have been so much more expensive to fix/replace 2 computers so was relieved that buying two new surge units was all it took. Saturday has been a much better day

I would come sit in the corner with your friend AND bring chocolate....

So sorry our friend is having a rough time, sending love and prayers, and some chocolate

It’s been that way for me the past month...
