Getting this one under 100k really takes away from the image but it gives the idea.

This is by Wifey2b.

Whats interesting is that it breaks several photography rules.

Hint: look at it top down then bottom up :}

ok hon - you have my curiosity peaked - ummmmmmmmm...what photo rules did I break - now be easy on me - I b sick still - lol naw - lay it on me - lol

There are 2 eye catching subjects.
looking at it from the top down the bright tree is the subject.
looking at it from the bottom up the road leads the eye right past the tree into the picture.
The top of the tree is chopped off in an unflattering way
But it works and is an interesting picture that different people will see different things in.

Hi Linda, thank you!! I have been missing everyone too - I have been so busy - never realized that teaching 2 grades would be so busy - even tho I only have 2 students, I still have to prepare for two classes. I am sick this Thanksgiving Weekend here in Canada - go figure - so have been inside the last 2 days with a nasty cold. Decided I had better take advantage of the time to rest. I am so thankful that you all like my photography. I used to be able to just go and do it whenever I wanted, but lately it gets fit into my schedule - lol
I am loving my teaching job, and the admiration I get from my two little guys...we are new private school, and so we have 1 students from grades K-12...uhuh a couple of grades we have 2 students - lol, oh I don''t believe there are any in grade 9 this year. I teach mornings, and then my grade 1 student goes into class with grades 1-3 - he comes with me because he needs a little more one on one than the teacher with grades 1-3 can give him, and I also homeschooled him last year for Kindergarten, so we are very used to each other. It is really cute tho - the Kindergarten little guy had been told that he would be the only one in the class with me - and so he asks nearly every week when the other little guy will be leaving the class - lol - love the j-e-a-l-o-u-s-y - lol it is great for my ego - lol. So as you can I am keeping busy - oh from there I go to my secretarial job and work till supper, and run errands for school and office - lol - My mom says that I come home exhausted, but at least I am happy and not cranky - lol...so we are all happy I guess - lol
I hope all the other Canadian gals here have a great Thanksgiving weekend and don''t eat too much turkey! lol
This is your update report on the MIA wifey2b - giggle

wifey2b · Oct 12, 2008

wifey2b · Oct 12, 2008

Love the area I have grown up in...so photographic especially in the fall...this could likely be the time that ktk and I will fly home for visits...most beautiful time of the year here....

Beautiful pictures Wifey2b, love the flower pictures. I am so glad that you love your teaching job. I imagine the little ones are so much fun to be around.

Oh that they are - they have to be into each other''s business all the time - but the biggest thing is - they have to make sure that I at least once a day tell them I am proud of how well they do their work - their parents have told me how much that means to them....which I am glad it does!

wifey2b · Oct 12, 2008

I have to post this pic just to share a memory with you...I sent it to my girlfriend the other day and she reminded me of the days we spent under that tree - there is a huge rock that we say on - which you cannot see in the pic, but we used to sit there and dream we were in the land of Thornton W Burgess with Reddy Fox and on the other side of the road is a river where we imagined Gradfather Frog and Jerry Muskrat and Little Joe Otter all having their adventures - what brought all this back to mind is the fact that I am ready one of those books to my little guys at school and they are just loving it - when I stopped reading the other day I asked them what they thot was going to happen - the one little guy said if you just read us one more chapter I could tell you - lol

You all have such great photos! Thanks for posting them.

This is Chinatown, Boston. My son took this one.
Taken last winter. I personally love this pic but can't figure out why.

diamondsrock · Oct 12, 2008
