Two More Photowalks

The most expensive news in the Jacobs/DeBacco household as of late is that our furnace needs to be replaced. I've had a quote from one place, and am trying to find a second place to get a quote from that's both rated highly on Angie's List AND a Carrier dealer (I figured it was better to compare apples to apples, and my research shows that Carrier is a good, solid product).

In other exciting news - my blinds have arrived! I can't remember if I mentioned that mom & dad gave me money for my birthday to put towards blinds for my living room. A much appreciated gift, the money the gave was able to put a huge dent in the cost of the blinds - especially because the ones I wanted were on sale for 15% off! The blinds arrived today, which I only know because I went home for lunch. I'm not sure when we'll have to time to hang them because I have a Sleep Study tonight, and then we have a house warming party for one of John's friends to go to tomorrow.

Anyway. Let me catch you up on my photowalks. I'm using a different slide-show service now because the flickr one wasn't working very well for me anymore. The upside to this (besides just the fact that it works) is that you can see the title/description of each photo. The downside is that the photos aren't as big. But maybe you'll like that? *shrug*.

Photowalk 44 was on my birthday! John had asked what I wanted to do that day, and I suggested going to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, since my friend Michelle worked up there with the animals. She was able to give us a "behind the scenes" tour, and I was even able to hold a skunk (so cute!) and feed an otter! Very exciting stuff. My favorite photo from the day is below, but you can see the entire slideshow here: View slideshow

My 45th photowalk was at a metro park near my house. I went in the hour before sunset and it was just beautiful. My favorite photo is below, but you can view the entire slideshow here: View slideshow

Btw, if you're interested all in my tips about photography, not only is there iffles.com to read, which I run myself, but I've also been writing articles for Digital Photography School. There's no easy way to find the ones posted by me, because for some reason, I'm still showing up as a "Guest Contributor", even though I'm no longer a guest contributor, but a "staff" writer. *shrug*
