I was so looking forward to the Super Blood Moon and the Lunar Eclipse on Sunday but I didn’t get to see it. I was so disappointed. There were too much clouds that night. I stood on my front porch, urging, “Come on, clouds, just move over one tiny inch.”
*sigh* The clouds just wouldn’t budge. The picture above was shot on Saturday night. The sky had already darken but somehow my camera kept making the pictures look so light. The ISO was automatically set to 800 and the shutter speed was exceptionally slow, 1/10 second. I even had to enter to digital zoom. That’s why everything around it is so blurry. While the clouds wouldn’t move last night, I did somehow kind of successfully captured the beginning of the eclipse. Yes, I know, I have a very sucky camera.
This is also ISO 800 but with an even slower shutter speed, 1/4 seconds. Don’t look at me, I didn’t do anything. You know the weird thing though?
About 30 miles away in Salt Lake City, people were witnessing the eclipse in perfect clarity. I watched the live footage on the news. So it looks like the clouds are just playing games with me. Ugh!
Okay, plenty to do today, therefore, I’ll just post my final sets of changes and hopefully I can write something later. Enjoy. Continue reading “More Changes”→
This week’s photo challenge is making me feel more and more glad I never delete unused photos because these are pictures I can never get the right occasion to show them. Continue reading “More Seasonal Changes”→
According to the file, the above picture was taken on April 3, 2015 which makes the picture was taken during Spring. Now it is Autumn. Let’s see how it’s changed. Continue reading “Seasonal Changes”→
Okay, so I discovered another bad time to visit Vegas. September! It was still near 100 degrees and I constantly felt as though I was being baked alive. And the traffic? What are the chances I witness an accident at almost the same spot two days in a row? Continue reading “My Adventure in Las Vegas – Day 1”→
Thank you, Bibliophile96 at The Blog’s the Thing! for nominating me for the challenge. It is officially my third time participating and surprisingly, it hasn’t grown on me yet. However, this time, I am doing something different. I’m doing all three days in one. Continue reading “3 Quote 3 Day Challenge”→
I haven’t really been out lately, mostly just stuck in the basement. The weather hasn’t been cooperating. It’s either too hot or too cold or too windy or too rainy. It’s like it’s playing a big game. So no new pictures but good news, I’m heading to Las Vegas in two weeks, yay!
So plenty of opportunities there. I’m looking forward to gambling and earning 5 extra credit points for my auditing class for doing something fun (No, I’m not kidding about the 5 points). The instructor apparently thinks we’re too tight and need to loosen up.
It’s the first time I’m going to Vegas since I turned 21 three years ago.
Anyway, I know that’s not what you’re here for, so let’s get this show on the road.
I know some of you have seen this picture before. I debuted it way back in June. Like I said, no new pictures.
It’s been such a long long long time since there was a fresh new prompt. Today’s prompt is not only fresh but it’s doable, at least to me. Continue reading “Eternal Adulthood”→
Thursday has been my favorite day of the week all summer long.
Reason #1: The only day of the week my mom goes to work and not at home monitoring my actions while calling my name every time I sit down and begin to relax.
Reason #2: It’s the only day of the week when I can actually go out and take some brand-new picture myself. It’s not that I can’t take pictures when mom’s around. It’s just she likes to order me around. I want to take a macro picture of our baby watermelon and she says it will confuse our relatives back in China. What’s so confusing about a macro picture?
Do you find this picture confusing?
Reason #3: It’s the night that actually has some TV shows to watch.
So last Thursday or two days ago, mom told me the night before she’s going to be home late. It got me so excited that I could hardly sleep on Wednesday night. I was going to blog, eat some breakfast, go out for a photoshoot, and go to the bank, and then come home to do some meditation.
That did not go as planned. The fridge’s empty. There’s barely anything to eat. I just had one of these delicious muffins that mom had me bake last weekend.
Then I went out into the backyard garden and shot some photos of our baby watermelons, cucumber flowers, and maturing tomatoes. I came back and shot a picture of the harvest from the night before plus an apple from a week ago.
Before long, I got hungry. So I decided to make myself some lunch with the thought that I still have plenty of alone time. I must had jinxed it somehow because 5 minutes after I sat down for lunch, the garage door opened. Mom’s home and it’s only a little after noon. I groaned as she walked in, peeked at what I was having, chicken drumstick and rice.
So that’s the end to my Thursday. After lunch, I relaxed just a tad before walking to the bank, stood in a long line because mom was too lazy to go through the drive-thru to deposit a check.
Anyway, here are the pictures in a Mesh gallery. I’m still learning to use Mesh. So if it looks weird, just look at the normal gallery below.
