Summer Weekend Blog

I hope you are having an awesome weekend.  The kids are out of school, the weather is warm, the beaches are open and everyone is in a good mood.  No one appreciates summer more than Minnesotans.
I saw this recipe on American Family website.  It came from the Cooking Light Magazine so it is low calorie which always helps the waistline.

Today's How I Took It Photo is one I took at after my Granddaughter's Graduation Ceremony.  It was taken with my Olympus E510 SLR camera, F4.0, 1/500 second exposure, Auto White Balance, ISO 400.  I wanted to have just her in focus so I used the Selective Focus Filter in Corel PaintShop Pro 4X to blur out the background.
Here is a list of 25 Best Places To Photograph according to the Photographers who read Photo Pop Magazine.  Most of these are off the beaten path and expensive to get to as well.  A few that I love and are more affordable to get to are: The Grand Canyon; Sedona, AZ; Crater Lake, OR;  The Minnesota North Shore, New York City, Washington, DC and Lake Tahoe, CA.
This one is really cool.  This is a wall mural made up of 88,000 individual pictures of the sky.  Someone put a lot of work into this project. 
If you missed the Venus Transit the other day like me, click on the link below to see it in High Definition.  Very cool to watch!
If you are thinking on making a large purchase and want to be assured of getting the best prices, check out this website called Price Protectr.  It tracks the price of your desired item and so you can know when is the best time to buy. 
Today's Thought For The Day is from My Attitude-My Life-My Rules website:
"To be kind is more important that to right.  Many times what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens."  author unkown.
