Snake Barbecue plus Mouse

2009-02-12T17:26:00.001-08:00

Got this in a email today and thought I would share it with you. From the email a electrician line man found this snake fried to the meter box the snake darted after a mouse and grounded both of them out. I can stand either snakes or mice having to deal with them all the time at work. What a shocking good time!

2009-02-10T19:28:00.000-08:00

Wow holy cow! It works it works hahahahahaha!!! I've been beating my head into the screen trying to find a program like this and it works on so many different levels of blogging.

I will name some of Windows Live Writer awesome features after you start WLW up you can add your blog it will log on your account and and fetch your blog template so you can see what your post will look like while you are making it WOW! Add photos, films links it is amazing! Cool feature’s, you know when you are uploading a photo to blogger and it is to big or to small, or you can not put it in the right place inline, to the side and you end up fighting it? Well WLW you can put the a photo anywhere you like. Also you can put a background shadow behind the photo and all kinds of cool frames. Like the instant photo frame that I have on photo here. It is so easy to use, did I mention this is a free program from Windows. I hope Google includes this post in there search engines so nobody has to learn the hard way like I did. If I peek your curiosity, here is the link to this awesome program, info and download.

WINDOWS LIVE WRITER

Trying to Post from a different Program

2009-02-10T19:02:00.000-08:00

Ok were trying a different program instead of Microsoft Word. I am useing Windows Live Writer a free program from Windows. If my photo show up here then it was a success! Crossing my fingers…

OK it is Reality

2009-02-08T15:48:00.000-08:00

Ok I have killed enough time trying to get microsoft word to post automatically to my blogs. The thing is it will do this, but it will not add a photograph or picture. I messed around and messed around until a entire night and a day passed by.

Saturday I went fly fishing no fish but I did catch a cold! Not feeling good at all!

Virginia of Small Reflections awarded me the Premio Dardos award! This is the award deatails...

Aline of No Mundo de Aline and Akelamalu of Everything and Nothing each passed along this Premio Dardos award a while back. I apologize for taking so long to acknowledge and share it with others, but I'm most appreciative of the recognition ... so here's a BIG THANK YOU to Aline and Akelamalu!

Aline received it from Dave Funk and Akelamalu from San at A Life with a View ...

Aline wrote about the significance of the prize:

"With the Premio Dardos is to recognize the values that each blogger uses to transmit cultural values, ethical, literary, personal, etc.. that, in short, demonstrate their creativity through the thought that is alive and remains intact from their letters, between his words. These stamps were created with the intention of promoting fraternization between bloggers, a way of showing affection and gratitude for a job that adds value to the Web. "

The rules for receiving the prize are:

1) View the image of the stamp;

2) Link the blog for which you received the alert;

3) Choose 12 other blogs to those who deliver the Premio Dardos.

4) And tell everyone, of course!

I'd like to acknowledge the following 12 bloggers and share this award specifically with them today.

What's Up with Me

2009-01-17T22:23:00.000-08:00

Made up a new batch of badges for Creative Photography.

I made a couple for Nikon users and Canon users, digital guru's as well old camera photo badges and there will be more to come. I get more excited about making them, than anybody will care about, but it would make my day if someone uses one.

The Weather here Sheeeeese!

I know, I know, I am moping about it, friends out East have it so much worst than we do, there in the negatives of degrees. When I lived in Michigan I remember those cold cold days that would never end. I also remember living in Tampa Bay Florida though a couple of winters, that was so much better. Florida is great but don't think I would like to live there permanently.

This kind of weather we are having here in Idaho is called a inversion trapping the cold air close to the ground causing day long fog and black slippery ice to form. Busted my knee slipping on the black ice and messed it up good, it is starting to feel better now and I can start thinking about going ice fishing!

Bad thing about this dense fog as it is no good for photo taking, taking photos around the house is a bummer. Some people are extremely good at this, taking photos of "FOOD" I say food like that because they always look so good they make me hungry (stomach rumbling). I can always take photos of the Neighbors Cat or cat's they have hundreds running around but only one that comes over here. I think she kicks the other cats butts so she can get some decent food over here without being bothered.

Time to turn in, will being dreaming of warm beaches and girls in grass skirts!

Late Bloomers and Airheads

A New Year in Creative Photography

Thank You!

I just wanted to thank everybody who stuck through the year in Creative Photography through it's many changes. I know it was confusing and I apologizes for that! Trying something new here and there in the end to make Creative Photography a weekly meme was a all around more comfortable fit for all concerned. To the die hard CP'ers that stuck it through a big thank you!!

Hopes & Dreams

My hope is that in 2009 that more folks will want to participate in Creative Photography. There are so many wonderfully creative photos shot on a daily basis with great stories behind them. I hope that if you see someone work that impresses you to encourage them to join up.

All the best to you in '09

I can't wait to see what you have to share in 2009! If 2008 was any indication of what great photographers you are, I can expect great things in 2009!

Van Gogh's Ear Award

2009-01-02T13:02:00.000-08:00

A Top Award for You

Every year I like to make up a award and hand it out to people that make a difference in the blogsphere. I like to make it a award for all to enjoy and pass out if one so wants to, I just ask if your going to give it out to link back to me as the creator of the Van Gogh's Ear Award.

Inspiration of the Van Gogh's Ear Award

You may know the story of Vincent Van Gogh a well known artist in history. Although a brilliant painter in his later years went quite insane he received the nickname of fou roux ("the redheaded madman"). The most bazaar of Vincent's behavior is when he cut off the lower part of his own left ear lobe, which he wrapped in newspaper and gave to a prostitute named Rachel in the local brothel, asking her to "keep this object carefully. After this he suffered recurrent bouts of mental illness, which led to his suicide July 29, 1890 he was 37 years old. His works of art are priceless.

The point of this award

We are all artist in are own way be it art, photography, writing, philosophy, comedy, blogging and we all go a little crazy sometimes. But if you ever feel so crazy to cut off your ear and give it to a prostitute "Seek Help"!

Always remember you're unique.
Just like everyone else.

Code for this award, copy and paste the code below into your site.

Creative Photography Problems

2009-01-01T11:58:00.000-08:00

Creative Photography's number of photo submissions are dwindling down. Is this my fault? I comment on every photo submission submitted and encourage everybody I can. Maybe it is the holiday season and there to busy... Or maybe because it is not a contest anymore, the desire to compete against other blogger's was very seductive.

Judging the contest was crazy I had to eliminate good photos on what I thought was the best photo with no rhythm or reason a very hard thing to do, in the end it just came down to what I liked best and what the other judges like best.

There is a great group of die hard CP'ers that enter every week and I appreciate them greatly! But with hope the group will grow and not wilt and die.

About Me

2009-01-01T11:46:00.000-08:00

Hi,
I am just a country boy that has been around the city blocks of America. But I love the country and that's why I moved back to Idaho. I started blogging to mainly learn how to use the computer, that's when I discovered digital photography and it has become one of my greatest passions and favorite hobbies. The blogs I host are all based on photography of some sort.

My blogs are Idaho Photo Creative Photography ,Roger's White Album, Ruby Tuesday and this blog.

Thanks for checking me out.
