Rain + Wind Outside = Lightroom 2 Inside

Yesterday was stormy in Sebring. The wind was out of the south meaning it was blowing right on our sun shade which hangs from and runs the length of our awning. It trapped the wind and I was fearful the extra strain on the awning arms might damage the awning so I took it down while the wind blew and the rain fell. In fact, I packed up and stowed most of the outside things away in our bins and retracted the awning as well. I also ran my bicycle around to the leeward side of the motorhome and put it under the dining room awning to stay out of the rain. That worked pretty well actually. Only one day of wet weather though. This morning was sunny and warm again, so I restrung our sunshade and dragged things out of the bins again. Better safe than sorry and certainly no point in risking damage from the storm.
Yesterday's weather gave me a chance to work on my photography workflow in Lightroom 2. I've been watching lots of tutorial videos online and just had to give it a try. This software is amazing. I worked on two of my favourite photographs for about 30 minutes each and I think they turned out quite well.


Chris is back to work in Ottawa and working her last block of shifts before coming back to Sebring at the end of this week. The bottom photo is of my daughter Lindsay. Caught her shopping for hats with Chris at Niagara Falls last spring. Happy ??th birthday princess! Let me know what you think of these two.....photographs (of course) by leaving a comment.
