Welcome to 2012.

The last day of December marked the last day of my job that I've had for 3 years. It was an unfortunate circumstance that I had no control over. I was bumped from my position by someone who had more seniority over me because her job was being effected. It is what it is and it sucks but I have to deal with it. Currently, I am looking for a job.  I know it is all about timing, so I will do what I can and hope that God will take care of the rest.

This is going to be a year of transition for me. I am hoping the job thing will actually be an opportunity for me to grow professionally, a chance to step outside of my box and do something new, exciting and challenging. 

Trees

First sign of Fall

Looking Up

Just for fun

These two pictures are the same picture but I used two different effects (from Picasa). Doesn't this kind of look like a flag?

I used a hypnotic effect on this picture. 

This is the original photo. It's fun using effects!

God's beauty in nature

Sunrise. Although this looks like a sunset, the original picture was quite different before I enhanced the color. I love seeing the sunrise in the early mornings on my way to work as I am riding the bus. This was taken yesterday.

This is the same sky as the picture above without the enhancement; showing more of the beautiful clouds.

This is a view from the library where I go almost daily on my lunch. I love the sky!

Books

Great reads that I read this summer:
