an evening walk

I don't normally process my photos. Almost every photo you've seen on the blog are straight out of my camera, but just last week, I've installed Lightroom, and thought I'd give it a try.

Here are a few photos from a recent walk around Gabe's neighbourhood that are shot in raw format, and processed with slight exposure adjustment, graduated filter etc.

There's quite a bit to learn still, but I like the outcomes so far.

Hope you had a good weekend.

April Blooms

Thank you everyone who has responded to the last post and signed the petition! The petition has reached 1 million already, I think we'll put an end to the horror real soon.



Some nice flowers for you. (They're taken on film. Yay! a new roll! I'll have more to share later.)

April has been great, but I can't wait to enjoy May. I think the weather will get really warm, and I'll be able to spend a lot of time outside.

Have I told you I'm going back to school for another 4 month? Except this time I won't be in Rome..,yeah..but I do have to pack up and move on Saturday. It'll be a busy busy weekend, but for now Happy Friday to all of you!

.

Thank you for all your comments about the dress. You made me feel so much better, and I'm glad you all liked it.

We had the perfect weather for me to wear that dress last week, but this weekend, the sky has turned gray, and the temperature dropped.

Good that I picked up these ranunculus and they've been keeping me cheered up about spring under these gray days.

Hope you had a cheerful weekend too.

April is daffodil month.

I finally got these daffodils i ordered from work a couple of weeks ago as a support to the Canadian Cancer Society. Daffodils are such beautiful flowers which also embodies a sweet but subtle smell to it. They don't need much to blossom, just water and gravel. I guess for that reason Chinese people call them 水仙花 (Water Goddesses).

I can't wait till these to blossom..and bring a little bit more of spring into my apartment.

A couple of things on my mind..
- I must decide on a colour palette for the granny square blanket I've been wanting to work on.
- I need to pick out a fabric for the skirt I'll be working on in sewing class..I'm thinking a red or yellow gingahm?
- and..I gotta plan out my weekend with meaningful things!! Ideas?
