{see beautiful}

My {see beautiful} moment is a sunrise shot from earlier this week.  I've been struggling with getting the settings on my camera "right" for sunrise and sunset shots. My blogging friends Ron and Paul over at Shutterbugs Capturing the World are always willing to give this novice photographer great tips. While I need LOTS of practice and help, I do appreciate their willingness to guide me---friends are BEAUTIFUL!!

The past week we've witnessed the arrival of some of our "snow" birds( blue birds, robins and doves). Sunday I found the male bird blue at the feeders and also checking out the bluebird condos in our yard. That means the Mrs. should be here in the next week to 10 days. After checking the calendar from last year--Mr. BB is nearly 3 weeks early!!---Nature is BEAUTIFUL!!.

Thanks for thinking of my friends that were in need of prayer. My friend Anne's surgery was delayed until next monday. It was delayed due to so many people in the hospital with the flu. Her doctor didn't want to put her at risk of a possible unwanted infection. Smart doctor!! Prayers by Blogville --BEAUTIFUL--thank you!!

We hope all that are in the path of the storm stay safe and warm.



P.S.  I  think muddy feet are BEAUTIFUL
--getting a bath after getting the muddy feet, not so beautiful.... gracie

    Love the first picture. Smart to put off surgery to avoid the flu. Can make trouble for those recuperating in the hospital. Have a nice weekend.

    That's a beautiful sunrise! I just ordered a filter for sunrise/set shots that is "graduated", going from darker on the top to lighter on the bottom. I had one of these in the past, and I loved it for those high contrast photos.

    It's amazing to see how different your sunrises are than ours because the land is flat there... You really see the huge sun rise, while I don't see it until it's much higher in the sky.

    Love the muddy paws, Gracie!

    I think you've figured out the camera settings, the sunrise is beautiful!

    We have no snow here, but lots, and lots of muddy paws that's giving my washer a good workout!

    I hope you're enjoying your day! ♥♥
