A Little of This and That


 I've mentioned we have steadily been working to organize and declutter our storage areas.  Our progress has been going quite well and we're pretty happy with the decisions we have made. 





Last year we had the interior of our home painted.  After all of it was done, I changed some of our decor and didn't put up the same items that were on the walls.  In the kitchen particularly,  we kept the walls a little more bare than usual.  After time has passed, I decided I'm not liking the more minimalist look.  So we have slowly been putting up some of the items that were removed. 





The rooster plates and hanger have been bought up from storage to take their place back in the kitchen.  I love chickens and have many adorning my kitchen.  




The sun has been shining the last couple of days and I couldn't be happier!  It's a great time to take photos of the interior of our home.













Taking good photos is a goal of mine.  I want to learn more about using the manual settings on my camera.  I've always wanted to take photos of the moon that showed the craters and more detail.   Well, I think I am on my way.  I can't tell you how thrilled I was to be able to take a few photos that show the detail I was looking for.
  





Yesterday afternoon we were outside and saw the lovely moon lighting the sky.





Now that I've learned more about my camera and its settings I'll be practicing and enjoying photography even more! 

I also spotted this bad boy in the crepe myrtle yesterday afternoon!  This photo was taken from a window.




Tell me, do you use the manual settings on your camera?  Or do you do like me,  just use the automatic settings?





I hope your days are filled with simple joys , my friends!  ♥
