Today was actually much better then yesterday. Everything just snow balled and the longer the day went on the worse it got. I appreciate all the good thoughts.
Today I woke up to chilly temps but the sun shining. I even heard birds chirping and could see them darting to and fro as they played. I few times I could see them land as they found food after a few days of rain. I was in a much better mood, but my head pounded. It was early and thought if I got up and moved it would go away. Stress headaches do not work that way, however. I ended up taking a few aspirin and went back to bed. Climbing into bed and under the warmth of the blankets. It didn't take long to fall back asleep.
When I did get up I had my coffee as I sifted through mail. Made the rounds a bit and then did some playing with graphics. Ok, so it wasn't 'some' it was lots, sue me! LOL I did do some errands and laundry in between. Had an easy dinner of burgers and as Karen and I sat at the table the sky was blue and crisp. Very few clouds in the sky. It was decided then and there that I was going to take a ride to the lake and see if I could get some decent shots of the sunset. I played with the camera and got some unbelievable shots. I learned the more I zoomed the more intense the colors became. I have several and really could not decide which to use in my entry tonight. I went back and forth and this won out. The reds and orange, the way the way the clouds frame the sun, and the birds in view. I used a filter to animate the water. I love the effect even though it doesn't show the sun reflecting on the water in a clear straight line. I find the colors and the movement almost hypnotic.
Rest assured you will see more of them and I will no doubt be adding additional graphics to them inthe future. Right now I just wanted the beauty naturel' :)

Just beautiful! Sorry to hear about your headache. I know what they are like and they are no fun at all!! Glad you went back to bed though and at least rested. I don't know how you can work on the computer with a headache though. Makes mine worse, but mine are a different sort, so that's probably why. This sunset is absolutely BREATHTAKING! Great job on the moving water too! :)
Hugs and love,
Lisa
