So I got up this morning at the butt-crack of dawn (4AM) to head on over to Tybee Island for the Critz Tybee Run I mentioned in yesterday’s post. It was raining crazy and I considered not going, but only for a second. I figured, “What’s a little water, hmm?”
Considering it was my first 5K, I have absolutely no lung capacity, and overweight I came in at a pretty darn respectable 44:11. Now my shoulder hurts from all the patting myself on the back I’ve been doing
It rained like nobody’s business throughout the race; I spent half the race with my eyes closed to keep the rain out. But I’ve never had a better time. I am already looking to see what 5K I can enter next…
On the way home, I took these shots:

So we headed off to the movies tonight and I snapped this pic while we waited for the pre-show commercials to end. Personally, I’m not digging it, but I do like the green on the ceiling and the red of the walls.

Thought I’d take my camera along as I picked up a few things from the grocery store.
By the way, Ezekiel cereal with a splash of almond milk…..mmmm….now that’s some good stuff.

Went to Cracker Barrel tonight for dinner. Hey, don’t knock it til you try it – they have a pretty decent grilled rainbow trout.

Sneak peek of the construction that’s going on in my house. The angle of my lens was not wide enough to capture the whole room, but I promise you there is a built-in bookshelf just to the right of this window that will be flanked by some ever-so-lovely wall sconces. My husband did all this – because he is awesomely talented and because I made pouty faces until he agreed to.
We’ve got a crapload of work still to do…sand and refinish floors, another coat of paint on walls and trim, lighting fixtures, etc. And that’s just in this room alone. I’ll spare you the boring details of the punchlist for all the other rooms.
Yes, that’s a chip clip holding down my temporary paper blinds, don’t be jealous.

Hands down the best photo weekend ever. I know I’ve promised in the past couple of days to give some updates, but after a weekend like this…well, geez, I am pooped! Took this one downtown today at St. John’s.

Still no time to fill you in on all the details of this weekend, but I did end up in Bon Adventure Cemetery today.

Spent the evening downtown doing something really fun and exciting! Will keep you in suspense until tomorrow….in the meantime, I tried another slow shutter speed shot.

While headed to my knit night, I decided to play around with my shutter speed and try to capture some tail and headlight streaks on the road. I used the hood of my car as a tripod while I attempted several shots at varying speeds. Trust me, this was the best of the bunch. Getting those awesome looking street streaks is much harder than it appears. I will definitely try this technique again when I have more time, but my knitting needles were burning a hole in my knitting bag! And I was getting some mighty strange looks from the patrons of the Quiznos I was standing by. Apparently, sub-eaters are cautious of women with knitting bags and cameras in parking lots.
I didn’t take as much time as I should with the shot. A bit disappointed. Wednesdays are always a hard day for me to take photos.

My view when I am out walking LillyDee Williams…

This year I’ll attempt to complete a 365 project. I hear it helps improve your photo skills and Lord knows I need all the help I can get. So off we go….
