Sharing this short video of five images taken at my local nature preserve Wednesday. I've added the track autumn breeze from my Atmosphere Deluxe Software for added enjoyment. Hope everyone's having a great weekend...

Random 5 Friday

1. Last Sunday a friend from church didn't have to work that day. She made it to church & bible study. We then had lunch together with her sister and my daughter. Later that afternoon I sat outside in the warm sun and wind listening to my new cd Devotions with Priscilla by Priscilla Shirer. I only made it through five tracks but they were very good. Looking forward to finishing the last seven tracks.

2. My husband and I had planned to go see Duck Hunter Shoots Angel tonight but I misplaced the tickets we had. I'm so bummed over this as I was looking forward to seeing this play. I'm sure they'll show up sometime. We'll just have to pick a different play to watch when they do...

3. Two white dogwoods and one of two washington hawthorn trees didn't make it. I'll be replacing them within the next month or so. Otherwise, all my young trees have blooms on them now. 

4. My young adult daughter has been fighting the stomach flu/ virus since yesterday evening. She's doing some better now but still needs rest, food & fluids.

5. Birds I've been spotting at my feeder and around my yard: goldfinches, grackles, starlings, red winged blackbird, cardinal, sparrows, robins & mockingbirds. What have you seen at your bird feeder lately?

1. Cleaned and filled all my bird feeders with a variety of different seed, fruit, nuts and suet yesterday. Got some trees and shrubs soil to place around my young trees because the ground settled around them to much this winter. Since losing three of my young trees I also went searching for some replacement trees.

2. Tuesday night my family and I went to see God's Not Dead with a friend from church and her family. Had a great time... great movie.

3. I've long been in search of a good photography app to add text to my photos.Today I bought Path On. It allows you to draw a straight line on , circle around or a line over your image and then type your words. From what I've been able to assess it's easy to use and you can adjust the font size, color, spacing and shadow among other things.

4. Received the nicest gift from a dear church friend and her family last Sunday. They bought me a cd Devotions with Priscilla by Priscilla Shirer and a book Jesus Lives by Sarah Young. i've already loaded my cd onto my ipod so i can listen anytime day or night and I plan to read my book after finishing Praying for Purpose for Women by Katie Brazelton. Praying for Purpose is the best prayer book I've read. I highly recommend it to any woman who wants to grow closer to God in prayer.

5. Made plans with hubby for our family to see the play Duck Hunter Shoots Angel next Friday. It's performing at our local opera house downtown.

1. Been fighting a head cold since last Wednesday. Last night was the first time I could say I was feeling some better. Sure hope that continues...

2. Finding my voice (poetry) is out of focus lately. I hope April's National Poetry Month will spur my creativity along. So far my voice is still quiet, sigh...

3. Looking forward to getting outside more when the weather permits. I want to practice swiping (taking blurry pictures on purpose) and slowing my shutter speed down enough to make softer pictures of water, sky or movement. The latter might require the purchase of a neutral density filter.

4. Excited to spend real time with my hubby this weekend. We were separated for a month and a half because he had job training in Japan, Jan 19- Mar 1. Upon his return we both had scheduled and unscheduled events to attend. This is the first real weekend we've had to go out and be a couple again.

5. The first of March I had the pleasure of taking a Tony Sweet seminar and was the winner of a 10 photo critique from him. He gave me so many good tips on how to improve my photos. I'll forever be grateful to him. Now for winter to release its grip of spring so I can get outside and practice what he taught me.
