Camera Effects

I decided to try some of the features of my camera. Some of them I will never use but this one in particular I think I might. It's called Color Accent. It's easy to use too. You just put it on the Color Accent setting and point your camera to the color you want 'accented' and press a button. Now when you take a picture only the color you have chosen will show up in the picture.

(NOTE: In Canada, we actually spell 'Colour' with a u. I had to use that word so much in the previous paragraph that I decided to spell it the way it is spelled on my camera - hense Color Accent vs. Colour Accent. This english language can be sooo confusing...lol.)


Here I chose the blue sky ...


Here I chose the yellow flower ...


And here I chose the brown wood ...

Kind of interesting. It would be perfect for children potraits or weddings. My step daughter is getting married on October 4th, so I'm definately going to try it then! If anyone has any neat ideas when to use this feature please let me know~!.

We will never forget ...

I think everyone no matter where you are from will never forget exactly where you were and what you were doing on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. Personally I was at work which was in Retail merchandising and display. We were doing a floor change and working hard putting together new fixtures for the bedding department. I noticed a crowd gathering in front of the tv's in the electronics department and walked over to see what all the 'fuss' was about. That's when I saw the first plane go into the tower. It was like watching a movie, unreal, hard to accept that this was actually happening to our neighbours in the U.S.A. From that moment on for weeks I spent every minute I could listening, watching and grieving with everyone about this horrific disaster.

I watched the memorial today that was going on at the Pentagon and I still choke up - it still seems unreal. So today my heart and prayers go out to everyone who's life was affected on Sept. 11, 2001.

Warm Days ... COLD nights ...

Brrrrr ... it is getting so cold at night. The days are still alright but it really drops in the evening. Plus it's starting to get dark before 8 pm already. :-( Next thing I know it will be dark around 4:30 and thats when the days seem soooo short~! I love Canada but I sometimes think I should of been born somewhere tropical ... lol.

We've been getting alot of baby frogs around the last few weeks. I have to really be careful when I'm cutting the grass, I'd hate to run one over! My cats find it very entertaining though.

Back to normal ...

We've had more summer in one week then we did all summer ...lol. I actually had to water my grass which I've rarely had to do this summer because of all the rain. It's also back to 'normal' Canadian clouds as opposed to the caribbean clouds we had been seeing. My husband and I usually do alot of traveling to the caribbean but because we built this new house last year we've 'skipped' a year and just enjoyed life here.

Which brings me to the next letter of the 'is for' series;
