Random pondering...

Well, I must admit that lately I have spent a lot of time pondering photography. I have been doing some reading to widen my knowledge base. It has brought some interesting information my way. There are several questions to ponder (here is one of them), should you use digital technology to alter photos? How much altering is "fair"? When altering for fun, is there a limit? Hmmm... I usually just take a picture and call it good. Sometimes I use the "instant fix" button or the crop button but I think I'm going for the "real" photo most of the time. Since I often use my phone for photos and post straight from my phone there is no altering option. Apparently this technique is called, "SOOC"! Straight out of camera! Who knew? So far 11 photos and much more to ponder in this year long project!

I have also been pondering my resolution to spend more quality time with family and friends. I'm pretty happy with this resolution thus far as I have orchestrated a variety of ways to make it happen this month! Spa party, impromptu football party, date night, service projects, cooking with Marek, a couple family game nights and mother-daughter-aunt day. I'm looking forward to a full February. Marek turns 12 next week! Parties on the horizon! More quality time to be scheduled and planned. Yay!

I'm also pondering how it came to be Saturday morning with NO dairy products?! My milk day at the farm is messed up and all the regular store milk is gone. I have resorted to whipped cream spray. This is ok but not my favorite - too sweet and not milky enough! Sometimes I like it with coffee and milk but alone isn't cutting it! Must go to town!

Happily, I am heading to town soon to see Marek's basketball scrimmage against the 6th and 7th grade girls team! Should be fun, one of his best friends (Alicen) plays on this team. perhaps number 12 will occur? However, we will spend the latter part of the day with Marek's friend Liam and then we are heading to the Road Runners hockey game tonight. Full life! Fun times! What fun plans do you have today? Pondering anything interesting? Share! I'm about to make some tracks! Have a great day!
