Ice Cream Rescue Mission







What's a girl to do when she's stuck at home, waiting for the fridge repair guy? Why, take pictures of things around the house, of course!

I was happily editing away, while he was taking apart, then reassembling something deep inside the abyss of my refrigerator... and now that he is gone, my ice cream is turning back into a solid state. I'm so grateful for people who know how to fix things. Everything is quietly humming the way it is supposed to...the obnoxious sounds radiating from that thing this past week were pinching a nerve.

As I type, I look outside my window to discover that I am floating inside a cloud. The fog is thick and milky outside, and the inspired half of me is ready to put my coat on and take pictures of trees fading into the dreamy white. But the smarter half of me knows that the falling drizzle is not good for camera equipment.

Besides, it's getting dark out there. I think I'll stay in. I have a few indulgent hours to settle into the pages of my book before I head off to the playhouse. It is supposed to be a performance shrouded in mystery tonight...how very fitting with all this fog.

    Dude, I take my camera out into snowstorms. Are you telling me that's bad? ;-)

    Is it lame that I just about burst with happiness when I see you've posted new photos at Flickr because it means a new blog is up? Your posts make me smile, the beauty feeds my spirit.

    Only you could make a piece of wool beautiful! xoxo

    You can make any ol' thing look so beautiful Jaime!

    I am so glad the ice cream was saved. One would have hated to have to sit there and eat it all in order for it not to have to be thrown out.... ;)

    Hope you enjoyed the play my friend!
    xo Catherine

    Every time I come back here I rediscover something wonderful. Your eye for detail is exquisite. You can see straight to the soul and the beauty of a thing. Someday I'd like you to photograph me. I'd like to see me through your eyes!!

    Wait, what? Misty/foggy/rainy is bad? My poor camera. ;)

    Your house seems full of beauty and magic and wonder, just like your photos.

    Your photos Jaime are exquisite! I know what you mean about waiting for a repair person. I also join in your view of fog. We had an ice storm yesterday and the temps warmed up as the day grew long and by early afternoon fog rolled in and the combo of fog, ice and snow is one of my favorites. The trio make for some beautiful photos.

    Fog - a cloud on foot. As fragile as your photography. Amazing ! Please have a wonderful Sunday.

    Oh my. Oh my. I have found a beautiful blog with beautiful photography. I so wish I could take pictures like you. I am in the process of learning more about photography but it indeed feels overwhelming. I keep hearing about photoshop but I have a Mac. I am trying to figure out what everyone uses to edit these incredible photographs.
