shoulda woulda coulda

I'm not much of a photographer. I never have my camera when I need it. Case in point:

One day recently, a big, old snapping turtle was in the driveway at the office. Not too often that that happens! We suspect that, when the Town workers were digging up dirt across the road a few days ago, they disturbed this guy and he decided to look for quieter pastures. So he showed up in our parking lot. When we noticed him, everyone went outside to take a look and then the resident nature expert picked up the old snapper and carried him back across the street to the creek. On the bright side, the dirt-digging is finished, so maybe Mr. Turtle will be content on that side of the road. Living near a creek is nice, right?

Before that, it was the motorcycle cops. Another day, I saw 3 bunnies in the park when I was getting my morning exercise. (Cute lil cotton-tail bunnies! Oh so cute...) And there are the ice cream/playground dates with little niece & nephew, knitting projects that I should post on ravelry.com, etc.

So, these are the things I would show you pictures of, if I had my camera with me at the time, and all the stars aligned for the picture to be half way decent! LOL And, in my defense, if I wasn't so overloaded with schoolwork. If my brain was less cluttered, I would probably remember the camera more often.

I do have a picture of clover. I'm in the process of learning Adobe Creative Suite 3. (I'm not learning much, mostly fumbling.) First the raw photo of beautiful clover growing on my brick steps.

Second, a cropped, edited, close-up of the perfectly heart-shaped clover.


And there you have it.
