Vacation Pictures Episode 3

It's no secret that I love taking pictures of clouds and sunsets. So this post really just couldn't be helped.


The sunsets on Oahu didn't really cooperate with me too well. The first picture up there was taking while driving around there one day, but we didn't really catch any great views on that island.


The other three pictures were all taken on Maui. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to catch a sunset since it rained a lot, but it always seemed to clear up just before the sun started going down. We didn't see any really spectacular, calendar-quality ones, but I'm quite happy with the shots I ended up with since I was able to enjoy them with my family.


Okay, so I didn't post once a week, but I still got 4 posts for the month of January! That counts, doesn't it? I'll work on discipline throughout February I guess. I've still got a round of photos from the trip that I want to post. Also, I've been gearing up for a convention in March where I'll be selling the chainmail jewelry I alluded to in a previous post. So I'll have a bunch of pictures of the pieces I've finished so far that I'd like to blog about.

Photo 7-9-08

Every once in a while, I'll come across a cloud formation or sunset that is really awesome, and I'll want to take a picture, but I won't have a camera with me. That's probably the main reason I've started the habit of carrying one with me whenever possible. This picture is from one of the few times I happened to have a camera with me, though it's taken with a disposable through the window of a moving vehicle. Even so, I still really like it.

Photo 6-30-08

This might be my favorite cloud photo that I've taken. At the very least, it's the one I've used the most in various design projects.

Also, I'm going to dig up some old pictures and try to post one every day this week to make up for the long dry spell of no posts.

Photo of the Week #1

I think I'm going to try to post a photo of something, anything, at least once a week. And so, this is the first such post!

I took this as I was leaving work yesterday. The sky was a beautiful blue color, and these clouds were amazing. I suppose that's the trade-off with Missouri weather. We can go from 58 and sunny to 29 and snowing in a day* but you get wonderful cloudscapes, sunrises, and sunsets from time to time. I could definitely do without the random and severe weather changes, but this is a fair deal, at least in my opinion.

And yes, I did 'Shop this photo a bit. The colors weren't exactly how I remembered them, and I'd rather upload a file that's a few dozen kilobytes instead of a few megabytes, because honestly? That's way too many bytes.

Also! FoxyTunes is awesome, and the fact that social networking sites and things like Blogger can interact with it totally rocks my socks.

*This just happened last week. For serious.
