It’s hard to believe it’s already Monday, again. The colors in this photo have obviously been altered. I wasn’t too happen with the green in the original, so I decided to work with it a bit. By the way, it’s nice to see flowers blooming. I can finally move away from pine cones, not that they’re that bad or anything, they’re just not very Spring-like.

Speaking of Spring, it’s so nice out. It’s warm, breezy and the sun is actually out.

Edit; Previous entry was set to private. The other blogger and I have talked about it further and both feel like it was a big misunderstanding.

Moving on…

This was actually taken a few days ago. The battery to my camera isn’t charged, and even if it was, the weather is disgusting outside so I won’t be going out there today. It’s cold, a bit windy and it’s been flipping from rain to snow and back to rain. It’s a great day for napping or reading a book though. Ha, ha.

Now that I’m done with that, I’m going to look for some natural acne treatment products and hopefully be able to get rid of these pesky breakouts I’ve been having.

This boat has been resting on the shore for months now. I’m starting to think it’s a permanent thing. Then again, it’s still rather cool at times so maybe it’s “owner” is waiting for Summer.

OK, so I’m just a few days late on my Macro Monday, again. As I mentioned in a previous post, there’s been a lot on my mind. Plus I’ve been busy doing some design work for a fellow photographer, and another for a fellow blogger. I can definitely say I’m busy, and within a matter of days I feel like I’ve started to slip behind on everything - oops. I’ll get caught up.. I will, I promise. I just have to.

I have made a little time here and there to concentrate on some painting, which inspired my shot for this week. At this point, I could use a really good vacation. Know of any vacation deals?

It’s hard to believe it, but between my addiction to taking pictures and my husband’s addiction to computer games, we’ve almost reached capacity on my old external hard drive. It’s nothing unusual for me to take over a hundred pictures a day, which eventually adds up to thousands fairly quickly so it’s really no surprise that we’ve used up so much space so fast. We only had 150GBs on it to start with. What makes things worse, is that at this time we’re sharing a computer and I’m doing a lot of design work on the side. I really don’t want to overload my husband’s computer with all of my stuff when I know I’m going to have my own system again soon.

I’ve been wanting a new external hard drive for a couple of months now, ever since I got my new camera. I’d been in a slump with my photography for a bit so I wasn’t really worried about the storage issue, but now that I have a camera again, I’m taking more and more pictures. I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time before I run out of space on my old external hard drive, entirely. My husband has mentioned that he’s planning on buying a new one for me, as an early birthday present so I’ve decided to start pricing them. And this time, you better believe I’m going to get more bang for my buck, so I’m going to start by checking out the weekly deals at Buy.com. We paid $140 for our 150GB external hard drive. I’ve just found a 500GB external hard drive for a great price - $104.99, and comes with free budget shipping. That’s more than 3 times as much space. As a photographer that takes as many pictures as I do, having a lot of storage space is important so having an extra 500GBs of storage space for such an awesome price is fantastic.

If you’re running out of storage space on your hard drive, or external hard drive like me, Western Digital’s 500GB external hard drive is a great solution. Just think of all of the photos, videos, music, movies or even games you’ll be able to store on it. It’s compatible with PC’s running Windows 2000, XP and Vista, and Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later. It’s small enough to sit on your desk without taking up a ton of space. Great news for me because my desk is super tiny to begin with, with very little space for much of anything, even with a flat screen monitor. This will make a great addition to my own home office!

It’s sleek, it’s small, it’s affordable, and it gets the job done. What more could I ask for?
