Loving My IPhone

I recently made the decision to upgrade my phone to the highly popular IPhone, and I must say I’m very pleased.

As I think about the positives, the biggest is the battery life. In comparison to my old phone this is an LED bulb versus a cheap incandescent!

However, I am driven to write this post because of the “Goodreads” app! It is awesome !!! I immediately started scanning books, and thinking about how I can now get an accurate account of my library!

Don’t you just love it when little things bring you joy?!

Color Week @ Beyond Layers

As most of the U.S. basks in an early and unseasonably warm spring, the group over at Beyond Layers is celebrating the season by seeking out color! It is truly amazing what you see when you really look! While I didn’t find a lot of today’s color in unusual places, I did know exactly where to go – Rockefeller Greenhouse. The many flowers and plants housed at this inner city treasure are too many to begin to name. My visit today was an exhilarating break in the monotony of the work day!

Enjoy the colors with me!

Monday – Green
Eclectic Green Grass
Tuesday – Yellow
Happy Spring using Kim Klassen’s ‘and then some’ texture.
Wednesday – Pink
Thanks to Kim Klassen and all the wonderful ladies at Beyond Layers…they are all Beyond Awesome – to paraphrase Kim!

Happy First Day of Spring!

There is Spring Cleaning and then there is Sprrring Cleaning! I have taken part in the latter over the last couple of days and it has nothing to do with my home – although it needs a healthy dose too!

I have found myself playing catch-up as it relates to my photo projects and online classes and in an effort to be a better student I have been going through the hundreds of photos and sharing on Flickr as well as here.

Here is the latest batch of photos to surface from my Spring Cleaning.

Enjoy!

Beyond Layers – Catching Up

It seems I’m playing catch-up on a number of fronts, one being my Beyond Layers course work. A few weeks ago the subject was Storyboards and today I finally got around to making one. The title gives you location, but here is a little back-story.

The West Side Market is a landmark in Cleveland and this year marks its 100th  Anniversary. As one of the oldest outdoor public markets, the West Side Market is a staple to many Clevelanders and has been featured on many national cooking shows.

I decided to take some shots there this week thanks to Katrina Kennedy’s “365 +1 Prompt” – a daily email I receive to offer ideas for the 365 Project. You can check out her site here, for prompts. So this past week the theme was food, and while I don’t find my meals that photographically interesting and was lacking in that category I sought out fresh foods.

Enjoy, and as always if you see something you like or just want to acknowledge your visit, please leave a comment!
