Upcoming theme: Objects that tell something about me

Doesn't this just scream, "I'm ready for the road?" :) I wish it were technically better, but I only had a second, as Brad was literally about to leave with the girlies for a little Daddy date. :) Oh, and what you can't exactly see is that the rainbow around her neck is the strap of a Care Bears purse that was originally mine, then played with by many a cousin over the past 25 years. Natalie loves it, and usually ends up with it hanging this way. I think it makes her look like she just RAN in and it was flying behind her. ;)

Not the most exciting shot (again). :) On my way to get my third antibiotic shot. I didn't realize how ominous the sky looked. Sky is really tough to edit! If I increase the exposure at all, then the sky gets blown. I'm sure there is something I could do with layers, but I'm still a little too tired to play with this too long. Still lots to learn, as usual!

Annnnnnnnd still sick. Gray day, on my way to the doctor to get another antibiotic shot. Feeling better, but yep, still sick.

Stilllllllllllllllll sick. Nothing too exciting about this photo, but I was on my way to the doctor's office, so I thought I'd get one actually ON the road. I tried some different actions in post-processing this one. I think it made it a bit more interesting.

So I'm still sick. Sick with a sinus infection and tonsilitis, to be exact. BUT! I am now on antibiotics and Mucinex D and determined to feel better immediately! Unfortunately, I don't feel as good as I'd like to, but I'm hoping a dose or two more of the antibiotics will help that. So I took the girls to Katie's and I'm working from home today. I had this idea on my drive (yes, we got more SNOW, but thank goodness almost none and I'm sure it'll all melt by noon - YAY!), and found a perfect tire print right in our own driveway. Thanks, Brad! ;) I keep having to increase the exposure in ACR when I shoot in manual, so I think maybe I need to try to over-expose in-camera. Maybe my camera just underexposes by design, or maybe my eye just prefers a bit brighter photo. I'll try over-exposing manana!

So it's still way too cold and I'm too feverish (ugh!) to go too far, so I'm improvising. I've been lazy and have been shooting in Tv (shutter priority - 1/125 so as not to blur busy toddler & baby limbs), and so I'm determined to get good as shooting in manual. Here's my first attempt in a long time. I only had to brighten the exposure a *tiny* bit in ACR.

I'm not feeling too great today, so I thought I'd get out early and get a photo in case I'm not up to it later. Hopefully I'll be feeling better later, but you just never know. So here's our rainy, dreary street. It's a good day for staying in, staying warm, eating soup, and watching movies. Just thankful it's not SNOW!
