The other day when it snowed the snowflakes were so large it was incredible. This morning it is snowing again but now they are so small they are micro-flakes. Both kinds melted quickly which suits me just fine.
One of my greatest pleasures is photography. I don't have one of those expensive cameras that the "real" photographers carry around with the extra large lenses. In fact, I have the basic camera known as a "point-and-shoot", although it is the higher end point-and-shoot and does have some extra features. I liked to use some of the photos I take in the cards I make. This one came together pretty quickly.
I snapped this photo of the male Mallard duck at Rondeau Park and figured it would do well in a birthday card for a man - who are hard to make cards for sometimes. I was working on a scrapbook page using this two-sided designer paper and had some pieces left over. Rather then putting them in my stash, I decided to use them in a card. The tag at the bottom is usually used one piece folded in half and inserted in the top of side of a card as an accent but when I scored it half, it ripped. I'm small but obviously I have strength! So, I just cut it half and added it to the bottom with a peel-and-stick sentiment. The black dew drops were added as a final touch.
Some of the photos I take don't make it into cards, like this one of a Wild Turkey I shot at Point Pelee.
It turned out to be a great shot but I think I'll just enjoy it in the photo album.
