Week 11 ~ Beauty All Around

Focus on life March 2014 This month we are suppose to be 'checking out' ...(After this winter I would really like to be checking out' of here!)  It is still nasty here... another winter storm is forecast for tomorrow... will this winter ever end?

I actually remembered to check the prompt on Sunday...  (I liked it when we got weekly letters last year) but by Monday morning had forgotten what the prompt was.... Last night sitting in the hot tub... it was absolutely calm  (almost never happens here) with somewhat strange lighting so I ran back in the house and grabbed a camera.. then shot a bunch of pictures of the boats in the cove...  and was pleasantly surprised when I rechecked the prompt this morning that I could actually use them!
Fish eye lense from the hot tub  (12 feet lower than last weeks picture)

same view no fish eye zoomed in...  The four matching boats belong to one of  salmon companies

A bit later the mist was starting to roll in
(the water is Lords Cove which attaches directly to the Bay of Fundy ... part of the North Atlantic.. we have 28 foot tides here)
My helper!

Even though I do not like DST it is rather nice sitting in the hot tub after supper in daylight.....

Week 8 Monochromatic

Focus on Life Week 8...   I decided to play around with  old photos for this week.  It was either that or a close up of a snow bank... which would have been a really depressing thing to have to do after 17 days in Costa Rica... 
The original picture was taken last July just as the fog was lifting with my new smart phone...  Not sure what I did to the picture today to reverse it when I removed the colour... oops!

Thought this picture might look neat with the colour removed too... Clouds also taken last July! The cloud looks a bit like a colourless rainbow!
And last but not least 'Llanos de Cortez' a waterfall in Costa Rica...  You can swim in the pool and walk behind the falls.  Lovely place for a picnic!

To see other particiapnts in Week 8's focus on life challenge check out Sally's blog

I used picmonkey to transform all my colour pics to B & W, most of the pictures were pretty monocramtic to start with!
