A journal of sorts.

I am an avid photographer with a love for digital processing. The Bearded One and I have become "Townies" once again and are in the process of transforming our suburban nest into a peaceful refuge.
This blog is where I like to stash things. An assortment of random thoughts, a recipe or two, a few of my favorite photos, and the processing thereof.

Tuesday, and all is well in our neck of the woods. We were actually able to time the hot water so that we each got showers this morning. It wasn't so much timing really, it was a sudden realization that the water heater had kicked in while doing the dishes and dashing downstairs and opening up the shower spigot, letting the hot water run continuously, and taking turns.

I will be heading out to Rochester to take "Movember-Stache" pics this evening. I think we have a team of mustache growers itching to shave off their November facial hair contributions to support prostate cancer research. I don't know..they seem to have taken on a kind of "trailer park boys" look to me...

I have been on a vintage postcard trend so I thought I'd show you a couple of things you can do with them. Here I've replaced the center scene of this old Christmas greeting with our own Cottage.

I've bumped it up cleaned it up a bit, added some vintage style lettering and made it into a matte worthy piece of art...
