Learning New Things

I don't learn new things easily these days.  I think my brain is completely full...can that happen?  I really do want to take better pictures so I've read lots of tutorials, but it just doesn't seem to "take."  Tracy at The Journey posted some great tips today on this post.  I went for a walk this afternoon and tried out a couple and this is what I came up with:









Well I didn't exactly have to take a walk to take that last picture.  :)

  5. Great job of zooming, angles, framing, details...! Can you tell I'm married to a photographer? Seriously, these photos are great! The flowers give me spring fever - we had a heavy, wet snowstorm 2 days ago so it is still winter here. ~Jeanne

  9. Oh Marlene, this just makes me smile!! I love all the frames! The lattice is beautiful, and it is such a fun teaser--makes me want to run right up and see what else is on the other side. What a bonus to get to see flowers, too. They are gorgeous!

  19. I love them!!! I think the first two are so fun to look at. Repeating patterns fascinate me.

    Uh....M&M's! 'nuff said!

    You should be the one doing the tutorials.

  21. You are learning quickly! Thanks for sharing the lovely flowers. Spring is teasing us here...I saw some little purple flowers when I was out by my mom's last week. :-)

    Thank you for sharing the Ash Wednesday prayer. (I haven't been reading blogs all last week, so I'm catching up)

    I have a similar shot of dd and our dog from years ago. Cute!

  25. I think you took some great photos! Some of those tips must have "taken".

    And is that cherry M&Ms I see? *swoon* I LOVE those and they're so hard to find here! I have one little package that I'm hoarding.
