weekend

In spite of Mother's Day, I did get a few things done this weekend.  My biggest achievement was getting my Daily Photo Project updated on DeviantArt.  I was so behind on uploading them that it stretched all the way back into March, yes almost 2 full months behind, so I broke it up into 3 groups and slowly got them all up!  I seemed to pick up some new friends in the process, and a whole bunch of comments and favorites, mostly the fav's were from the May photos.  It is always nice to get nice comments there.

Feel free to check them out at http://photo-a-day.deviantart.com if you like.  I do post some of the one I do like here once and a while as some of you already know. 

I did get a short bike ride in on Saturday, just over 7 miles, once around Lake Herriot and once around Lake Calhoun.  It was nice and quiet on the trails since it was looking like rain and it was a bit cool out.  This made me happy since I did not have to dodge people the whole time. 

I also made it to the Walker Art Center, I saw the Richard Prince show.  In truth, I really did not know anything about him or his work prior to this show.  Interesting and innovative is all I am going to say for now.  I want to make it back there and investigate his work more and then write a quick review and thoughts about the work.  There are some challenging things there and an interesting play on sexuality in his work.

Mother's Day was fine, we went to see my mom and had brunch with the family close to there place.  Food was fine and it was nice seeing the siblings however Shae did not eat as much since she is NOT a meat and potato kind of gal, and meat and potatoes was the main product of the brunch.  I bought my mom a hibiscus plant for the deck, really pretty pink flowers on it with a lot of buds so it should flower most of the summer. 

I also helped Shae edit some photos for a report she had to write, other then that we hooked up with our friend sherry for a bit and chilled out for a while, and went to bed .

On a final note, I am thinking of doing a Photo of the Week type project.  Not sure what this might intail but so far, on nice photo from the week taken with my d-slr camera.  It might be a good way to get me to pull it out more.  I do think I need a hook to it though, but unsure what that might be...
