Sunday: A Traditional Day of Rest.

Being a vendor yesterday at the University of Pittsburgh's Alumni and Family Weekend was a lot of fun. Was nice to see some familiar faces and speak with some of the students. What a great bunch of students from UPB! Got to see the Pitt Panther (mascot) and lots of little ones getting their faces painted and painting pumpkins. Isn't it great how children brighten our days?

While it was fun, it was also tiring. Loading. Unloading. Not to mention all the prep work that goes into being a vendor.

Today truly is a day of rest for this tired old lady. Right now I'm sipping a cuppa coffee and watching the wood fire flicker and dance.


 As to the #CY365 photo challenges...

#CY365: A Household Chore

Didn't get a chance to post yesterday's photo, so it's a 'two-fer' today. Yesterday's challenge was A Household Chore. 

This time of year building a fire doesn't seem like much of a chore, but by the end of Winter the firewood seems a little heavier and the process a little dirtier. Heating with wood makes for a warm house and for now I'll just enjoy it.

Today's challenge is Colored Bokeh. Had to look this one up to see what it was. According to Wikipedia:

1. In photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".

   While taking pictures out of focus is not my forte, using software helps create this type of image. Here's my rendition of Colored Bokeh.

   Until we meet again:
   
   May your day be filled with laughter.
