Wonder What To Eat?



 Spiced Butternut Squash and Apple Soup
On a quest to eat healthier  I decided to try a new recipe every week. This week I made a delicious soup, found here. Instead of cloves I added nutmeg. Yummy. I loved the soup and it's creamy goodness without actually having to add cream. Another great result of my soup day was I learned how to cut a butternut squash. That was a pretty daunting task. This is definitely worth a try, I will be making this soup all winter.

Wonder Which Photo

Happy New Year. I hope everyone had a great New Year's eve. My family and I had a fantastic evening. I took a lot of pictures.
I love to compare post processing results. Most of the time I like to enhance my photos with photoshop. Just a little tweek here and there. Sometimes I create the feeling that wasn't quite captured in the original shot. Depending on my mood, my pictures may be melancholy, romantic, dramatic or playful. I love that you can really tell a story with photography.  
Here is my SOOC
 Above is a dreamy romantic story that happened long ago, below is a fresh beginning.
the last photo is almost wickedly scary, but I love the contrast.
Which one do you like? What are your favorite post processing techniques? I am excited to learn new techniques this year (one of my 2012 goals).
