Sunrise! This Morning!

December Sunrise 1205 by Kent Lorentzen

Looked out this morning, and this was what I saw. Had to step out the door and take some pictures. Look at that orange sky behind the trees as the sun rises into the sky. All the fresh white snow on trees in the front yard add to the winter scene.

I was only going to step out for a moment and come right back in, so didn’t grab a hat, jacket, or gloves. Heck… It was only 2 below zero, not that cold. Well… Guess what, that one photo turned into several as the light changed. I wasn’t dressed all that warm. Getting back in and standing by the fire felt real good!

Snowy Trees 1181 by Kent Lorentzen

After Saturday’s snowfall I had to go out Sunday morning and take pictures. The trees were pretty with fresh snow on them. Had to learn how to set the camera to get the best results.

Here’s a photo of a spruce tree behind a maple tree, in the front yard. Took this picture right outside the front door.

Ended up taking quite a few photos. Now, I have to pick out the best ones and get them uploaded to the web.

Getting Cat Pictures

November 30th, 2007

It’s so… tough getting good pictures of the cats and kittens. They are farm cats and just don’t cooperate, don’t hold still, or let me get close enough. Aargh!

Anyway… One of the kittens is starting to get a bit friendlier, opened the door yesterday and got some pics. None of them, super good, but… Heck, if you don’t try, you’ll never get a good pic.

Some kid is gonna wear this!

Was looking at orders from my Cafepress shop, and saw an order for the ‘Christmas Lutefisk’ design.


Christmas Lutefisk Infant Bodysuit

If you are Norsk, or have been around them very much, you know what Lutefisk is, and if your not Norsk and don’t know what it is… Well, you don’t really want to know!

Red Skies at Dawn 1128 by Kent Lorentzen

Another photo from this morning, looking at the orange red clouds above the Mississippi river. The pine trees silhouetted against the sky and the reflection on the water make a pretty picture.

Morning Sky

November Sunrise 1133 by Kent Lorentzen

It’s worth looking out the window some mornings… Glanced out, and the
sky was so pretty… Picked up the camera, with a quick grab… Dashed out
the door… Snapped some pics.

This is one of them looking across the Mississippi river at the pines on the far bank with orange red clouds in the sky behind them. Reflections off the water add to the colors.

Now I need to get busy and get the rest of the pics uploaded!

What I’ve been reading

November 23rd, 2007

I’ve enjoyed David Weber’s, Honor Harrington series of books, and am currently reading The Shadow of Saganami (The Saganami Island) :

It continues the series by following graduates of Saganami Island, (the school for officers in the Queens navy.)

I suppose to be fair I have to say the ships are space ships since it’s a science fiction book.  Four graduates are assigned to a new warship as midshipmen.

Finished Plowing

November 22nd, 2007

Spent all day Tuesday sitting on the tractor getting more ground turned over.  I did finish what I wanted to get done.  It was a good thing.  It’s been cold enough to freeze the ground since then.
