A Couple More

August 26, 2006 / by MentalHealthRN

I guess today I will just post some photo's.  This is a new hobby for me~ I've always been the photographer of the family, but only with a "snap and shoot" camera.  This camera has a lot more bells and whistles and I have hardly begun to understand the tip of the iceberg here. 

When Lynell was here, my mom took both of us to "The Mill Store."  It has all kinds of gardening things, pottery, etc.

I bought this bench and put it in the front yard. I go out every hour or so and add a coat of polyurethane. 

The fountain with the "heads" is new. I use to have a dolphin and the water came out of his nose.... I thought this was more me.  Also I put the blue gazing ball in the middle.  I have 5 lights that come on at night and shine on the ball and faces.  If you look closely you will see what might resemble a sun burst made of stain glass in the bottom of the fountain.  I took stain glasses chips and designed it.  You really can't see anything unless you are standing right over it.  So... there ya go.  Time for a new coat.

    Your pics are great! I need to get my digital camera out and learn to use it. I've had it for about a year now and haven't taken the time to really learn how to use it.

    It will take you less than 30 minutes to learn..... [WINK]
