I love the color accent setting on my camera. My daughter’s ballet tutu was in teal, so teal got the accent for these photos. In Photoshop, I just adjusted the magenta and yellow settings a bit to add some sepia.
This photo has sentimental value, as the paintings that are highlighted because of the teal setting are my mother’s landscapes.

Some of you may remember the snow girl my daughter, middle son and my daughter’s friend built. Well, she melted a bit, then she got snowed upon, so I put some red sunglasses on her and stuck the heart back on so she could pose for my Ruby Tuesday shot. It’s good I did it last week, because the snow has now melted all away. My daughter did not approve of my new snow lady at all; she claimed I ruined her. I think I gave her a new style and look.

The sky really was this white on this day in mid-January. Today, in early February, we are having a thaw, and I looked outside for signs of crocuses. Maybe my neighbor’s snowdrops will come up soon? The ground is still too hard to plant peas, but I should order some new ones and some inoculant to plant with the pea seeds.
Sky Watch Friday is a photo meme with photos of sunrises, sunsets, blue skies, gray skies, pink skies, dark skies and any other kind of sky posted by bloggers all over the planet.
First, I saw two birds.
Here’s the same sky a few minutes later and a bit to the right in the sky.
Enjoy some snow pics from our recent snowstorm: the one on the right was before the storm, the two on the left during the storm.
Last week my kids had a snow day. After they(my middle son, my daughter and her friend) built a snow girl in the backyard, I had the opportunity to take some photos. I decided to try the color accent mode on my camera, so the pinks were highlighted and everything else was black-and-white. The camera hightlighted the girls, because both girls were wearing pink coats. I converted the black-and-white section to sepia using Photoshop.
Here’s the original photo, before the sepia conversion.
Another sepia scene with the three kids.
This is the original photo of the three kids, before any sepia conversion.

Thanks to everyone who commented and guessed on my What Is This post. Congrats to Ilana-Davita and Elias for their persistence and finally guessing the correct response.
If you can visualize this lid flipped over and filled with water and then the water freezing into ice, you’ll see how it formed a mold that was pictured in that previous post.
Before attending my business meeting at Rutgers today in this building, I photographed a detail of the red brick building across the street (above photo, Winants Hall).
Do you think Rutgers chose red as their color so I could use their new emblem (the PR department had it redesigned last year) for Ruby Tuesday?

Ilana-Davita hosted a wonderful JPIX, the blog carnival of photos (and drawings, one in this carnival) by Jewish bloggers. Thank you for including my bench of roses detail and my cup. If you visit the carnival, you can find the link that will lead you to the post that will tell you in which restaurant I took that photo.
This was cropped from a 2006 photo, taken from my old digital Kodak Canon Powershot. I see the photo is not as crisp as those taken with my current Canon Powershot. Could be my skill has improved. It is a threadleaf coreopsis.
Today’s Flowers is hosted by Luiz Santilli Jr. Thank you, Luiz, for this lovely and fun meme.
Not the glove at the left, but what is in the center of this photo? This post idea is brought to you by my middle son, the creative filmmaker and owner of the gloves and hands.
