Car Lots vs. Classic Cars

I am not a new car buff. Even though I come form a Ford Motor family, father, cousins and late-husband were Ford men. Going through a car lot looking at cars is to me cruel and unusual punishment. But when it comes to classic car shows. I love walking among the old cars, taking photographs of what I call car detail. Since I am a Ford person, I have a lot of Ford photographs.

Everyone have a wonderful Easter! Cathy 4/1/10

Photo Card Contest

It was a slow day in my studio, started out learning more about adding text to an image and ended up with content. I have never understood content and I am not sure if learned anything
about it I can use in the future.

So I made up about a dozen ideas for cards. Kept 6 with my winter image and one for V-Day which I will use next year.

Here is the contest part, rather than add all 6 cards to my blog I posted them on Flickr. Please go to my Flickr Photostream and see which one you like the best. Post the one you like the best here on my blog, everyone who posts will be added to virtual hat and in two weeks the winner will be notified and I will send them one of the cards. I have not seen these cards printed yet so I don't have a favorite yet.

Sorry! My Bad! Pick the letter on one of the top 6 images, that you think would make the best card on my Flickr page.

Snow Snow Go Away!

Here in southern Michigan we really can't complain. This is the first big snow fall for the the winter of 2009 & 2010. I just thought I would show my Apple tree on Monday, which was very spring like, more like late March than February. I took another photograph on Tuesday.

It snowed all night Tuesday into Wednesday. I was lucky my neighbor came over and shoveled my drive and sidewalk. So I went out again and took a few more photographs.

Those of you who live further east and have really been clobbered this winter, look at it this way, next winter we will probably get all the snow.
