Friday Photos

Well, we made it through another one... happy Friday! With the weather starting out soggy, it wasn't the greatest week for taking photos. In looking through what I did take, most the good ones went up on Instagram and Facebook pretty quickly- I need to learn to pace myself, I guess. :)

I did head out this morning to take some pictures of the rabbits I've listed on Craigslist:

Silver Bun

Cinnamon Bun

Not the most artistic pics, I know, but they'll do for CL. If you're in the area, and want to buy a rabbit, the ad is here. I just need to downsize the herd before the weather changes, so I'm not feeding extras through the winter.

The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend, so I'm looking forward to getting to spend some time in with my camera again. (What am I going to do on Fridays, once winter comes??) I've been working through the Craftsy photography class I signed up for, which is great. It's packed full of so much information, and I'm finding out about features my camera has that I didn't know existed! In working with the settings on my camera for the class, however, I've discovered that there's a speck of dust inside my camera lens, which is a bummer. I'm going to have to send it off for a fix at some point soon.

Let's see... what else? Oh! Alex scored us a pair of free tickets to the Washington State Fair; according to their website it's the "largest single event held in WA state". I'm looking forward to heading down that way to check it out- it's probably been more than 10 years since we went, last.

Do you go to your state's fair? What's your favorite part?

Grit Day!

It's been a busy morning! In today's post over at Grit, I talk about a few of my favorite ways to use lavender. It's such a versatile plant!

I also just got home from the new volunteer orientation over at the goat rescue. More on that tomorrow, but until then, ponder these three words: baby pygmy goats. 

Last, but not least: I will be signing up for the Craftsy photography class shortly! Thank you to everyone who responded. I'll probably end up taking the veggie one as well, as it's been hard to choose between the two. 

Decisions, Decisions...

I'm trying to decide which Craftsy class I'm going to take, and I really need your help!

Here are my top three picks; please leave a comment and let me know which subject you'd be most interested in reading a post about. I'll take suggestions up until Monday, June 23rd!

Number 1: Love Your Vegetables: Best Methods, Flavorful Techniques. It's all about using seasonal veggies to their fullest! Check out the class description and/or the video Here.

Number 2: Handmade Sourdough: From Starter to Baked Loaf. I love bread, in case I haven't mentioned it before. Here's the link to the description.

Number 3: Shooting Intimate 

Landscapes. Photography is an integral part of blogging, so any opportunity to hone my skills is worth taking. Click here for the description.

They all look so great... it makes choosing just one very difficult! I've loved all of the classes I've purchased from Craftsy, so I know I'm going to enjoy whichever one wins. 

Leave a comment, either here or on FB, between now and Monday (6/23) to help me pick a class. Please!
