The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

Our forecast called for 50 degrees today. At noon I loaded up my stuff and headed out to refuge. At 1:00pm it was only 36 degrees and drizzling! Turned around and came home...... it was freezing!!

uhhh. i think we had a high today of like 25 and i had my kids out sledding when it was 20.

Ah, highs in the teens this week. That, I can tolerate.

It rained here today. Didn't get any warmer than the low 60's.

Dave Bowman: You see, something's going to happen. You must leave.

Heywood Floyd: What? What's going to happen?

Dave Bowman: Something wonderful.

Heywood Floyd: What?

Dave Bowman: I understand how you feel. You see, it's all very clear to me now. The whole thing. It's wonderful.

In other news...

I will probably start a thread to show a few of my Arizona pictures, but I need to finish scanning and then go in and clean up the dust off of the ones that are worth viewing. (And that's just the color! I still have to develop my black and white films.) There is one that I've done so far to post on a weekend thread we always have on another forum, and I thought I'd also share it here especially for my Coffee House peeps, before I start the other thread.

This was on New Year's Eve, and yes, it really was the desert:

(Edit: In case anyone cares about following the ensuing discussion on this photo, this is the original green one. The Flickr link is broken because I replaced it with the color-corrected version.)

Wow, that looks so much like a spot right down at the end of my street! I don't think I have any pictures of it from that sort of angle in a big snow--and I'm hoping not to GET a big snow anytime soon--or I'd post it to show you.

It's a beautiful scene, well done. But for me personally, I kinda preferred the scenery I had to start the year out.

It's Monday.

It's 34°F.

It's raining.

A hat trick of awful.

I have a headache from trying to remember exactly WHY I came back from Florida.

My school has a delayed opening. I was supposed to go in for placement readings but now I'm not sure what time I'm supposed to go in. There are complicated details I won't bore you with, but conceivably I won't have to go in until 2pm Or I have to leave in about 1.5 hours. I have no idea. I will just have to wait for someone to respond to my email or answer the phone.

Until then...more coffee, please!

Is it supposed to be that green?

Is it supposed to be that green?

I thought it was just my work monitor, which I know is a bit on the green side.

Around freezing here, with some mist and slippery sidewalks, but supposed to be high thirties by the afternoon. Break out the beach chairs!

I'm having my coffee and brownie before going to see what happened in that train wreck of a thread called "knowing enough." The brownie is from a mix, but used coffee instead of water and also added vanilla (can't leave a recipe alone).

i suck at shooting, snow. i dont even know if i dare to comment. i hate it blown out and detail lost. so i underexpose everything with snow. then i suffer from underexposed photos. no win. looking through a string of snow river pics i took a couple weeks ago. do i want them under exposed or blown out? seems the general concensus with snow is let it blow, forget the details at least it is exposed correctly.
