As I'm sure some of you are aware, last night we had a total lunar eclipse. I'm not going to bore you with exactly what happens, but basically the sun, earth and moon line up and the Moon turns this amazing orange-red. I got several pictures, but here are two of the better ones. (please keep in mind that it was 6 degrees, with a wind-chill somewhere below zero, and I was using a telephoto lens with no tripod. I was already shaking from the cold, not to mention the camera shake from a 9 in. long lens with...well never mind. It was too cold to get anything better than this!) The first one is about 30 minutes into the Eclipse, and the second is during the total eclipse)
Lately I've been doing a lot of free-lance cake decorating. Basically the bakery here stinks and people want more than confetti on their cakes for special occasions and whatnot, so I am more than happy to oblige. I love doing it, it's such a creative outlet for. blah, blah, blah, blah- One of the ladies down the street has a little boy that was about to turn four, so she ask me a few weeks ago if I would be interested in making a cake...OF COURSE! She said "are you ready for this....he wants an Abraham Lincoln party!" he's 4! Classic! anyway, here what his cake looked like! He was ecstatic!!
Finally, two weekends ago (my birthday weekend) was the Cooperstown Winter Carnival. I was asked again this year to be the "official" photographer for the weekend. (not quite as glamorous as is sounds, but James and I did get into everything for free:) They have several events that go on during the weekend, one of them is the SSPCA dog show. Here is one of the shots I got while walking around. I just LOVE that he looks like he's smiling at the camera!
Happy Thursday y'all!
