A Second Spring!

Hi, Everyone!  It’s that time of year again - my favorite season… Fall! 

A few mornings ago we awoke to a heavy fog and I was so excited.  I’d been wanting to get out and photograph the local flora at the Grosser Garten just a short walk away from the kids’ school and fog just added a little something “extra.”  I grabbed my camera and, after a quick stop for a kafee and croissant, headed into the gloom of the fog. 

It was magical.  I mean it.  I could see the breeze nudging the fog about as the sun vainly tried to burn it off.  Joggers and cyclists - some heading to work - appeared and disappeared like phantoms.  I’m not perfectly satisfied with my photos because I don’t think they quite captured the mystery but they’re my best work with fog to date and I’m hopeful that I’ll only get better.

In other news, I’ve been scrapping.  I’ve got three pages done that are awaiting the journaling. My daughter is helping me recover it because my EHD loss included many layouts for my in-law’s album that I intended to just re-work a bit before adding to our book.  Instead, I’m starting over and I’ve lost all the research I did for some of the more historical journaling.  So, I won’t be sharing those pages today but I’ve still got a few ready to go:

      

Like I said, some are pretty much a “scraplift” of my previous layouts, though I did have to do all the work again and it’s almost harder the second time around.  One thing that helped, though, is that I’ve gotten so much more familiar with Photoshop since I first scrapped these subjects so I had a few shortcuts up my sleeve.

Tschüss!
