~ Had to Try ~

Evenin'!   I hope everyone is doing good.  Earlier today I was reading an entry by Betty over at My Day My Interests.   If you've not visited her, do so, you will not be disappointed in her photo's.  Today she gave some direction on color isolation on black and white.  As I read, I thought, I can do that.  LOL  So this evening I tried.  I picked fairly easy photo's and gave it a whirl.  Not bad for my first two attempts.  Or so I think.  LMAO!   I will have to search for better shots to attempt it on.

Today was a pretty good day.  Then I heard the news about Ted Kennedy.  My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.  This family has endured so much over the years, it saddens me to think once again they've been hit with such sad tragic news.

 

I had American Idol on this evening.  No hockey, not until Saturday.  LOL  I was home alone and wanted background noise.   I think it's going to be a close one this year.  Did you watch?  Did you vote?  Do tell us.........  LOL

 

Plans are being made, and yes I will get away this weekend as it stands now.  Hopefully the weather forecast will be good.  I can't get excited about sitting at the St. Lawrence with temps in the 40's.  BRRRR  If I do go alerts will be turned off and I will catch up when I get back. 

 

Did you take the hockey poll?  Hmmmm?  Did you?  I think with the amount of visitors here the total should be a bit higher.  LMAO  Right now it's split equally.  'Cmon folks, make a choice and just do it!  ::giggle::  It's for fun :)~

 

Bored yet?  I know I'm just writing for the sake of writing.....   so I will end it here.  HEY!  Stop cheering ......   hope everyone has a great hump day. 

 

Hugs

I just love those pictures. They are great. I watched Idol too. They were both great, I thought the little David did a little better.

Hey, I think your color isolation looks fabulous.  Especially the flower.  I love that bead of water on the flower.  

I'm upset about Senator Kennedy too.  That family has had the most tragic history.  :(

Have a great Wednesday!

XOXO,

Yellow roses are my fav. Thanks for your Post today. It gave me a much needed lift. I also have felt very saddened by the news of Ted Kennedy. I have a lot of respect and admiration for him. Thanks again for your Post today Donna, I needed it.

Your photo's turned out great.  I'm an American Idol fan.  I've been on the fence between the two David's but tonight I voted for David A.  His voice is just so amazing.  David C. is quite a performer but doesn't have the voice that David A. does.  We will see tomorrow night.

OOOOOOOhhhhh, Ahhhhhh, me likes your work!  I especially like the birdfeeder and bird,  it looks like the bird is finding something to eat on a grey foodless day.  I love the contrast.  Then again that is true for the first pic also.  A beautiful yellow daffodil poking out early in a cold damp spring.  Sounds like this summer, huh, LOL?

I still think David Archiletta is soooo good.  So mature and sweet and innocent too. It's refreshing.  Didin't vote, so I can't complain about who wins.  :)
Love the color isolation.  :)

Fantastic Donna!  I've been wanting to try that for a while and doubt I'll be successful.   Great job!

... the reason it is split equally, is that Sidney Crosby is a great player ... the Wings are a great team ... it is the dynamic of the two that makes it a toss up ..!
