Beauty in Ruin

My pictures today show an area that  really showed age, but was beautiful at the same time.

Beautiful Sunset Light

Not-me-Monday: Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue

 

This weekend we did NOT see the  Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue to Disney World. 

2 weeks ago was NOT the first time I heard of this dinner theater.  

I live in Orlando, of course I know about the local entertainment.  

I was NOT pleasantly surprised at how entertaining the show was.  

Have any of you seen the show??

I did NOT make 'secret ingredient brownies' to take to the Superbowl party. 

The secret ingredient was NOT black beans.

We did NOT try this no-mess pancake batter for our normal Saturday brunch.  

 

My hubby does NOT make me breakfast every (almost) Saturday morning.   

I did not get home from work to see this at my front door....

I was pleased that the delivery man worked hard to stack the boxes 

and make sure that we could get inside.

I heart Faces - We ♥ Kisses

The theme at I heart faces is kisses!

I love this photo from a friend's engagement pictures.  They were a funny and goofy couple.  It was only when they kissed that I saw a really sweet side. I love the dreamy feel of the light and how softly he touches her. 

I accidentally deleted 300 photos from this weekend!!

After posting my pictures for Sunday, but before preparing my pictures for the rest of the week I went to save my changes from Lightroom and in the process deleted about 300 pictures!  Basically they were one from my computer as I had told lightroom to overwrite the files.  I had deleted the photos from my SD card, but had not taken too make more pictures. After an hour of trial and error and an amazing program called disk digger, I was able to get my files back!  I just need to rename all 300 files to connect them to lightroom.  I'm just grateful that this lesson was learned on pictures that were nice, but not sentimental, and that I as able to fairly easily recover the files.

My recovered picture are from a garden in Winter Park.

Happy Superbowl Sunday!

It is rather interesting that for the second year in a row the Superbowl is being played her in Florida!  No we are not going, I am fairly certain that it is impossible to get tickets.  We are heading to a friend's house to watch the game. 

The pictures this week are from a garden in Winter Park.

This was an old rundown butterfly garden.   All if the ivy was dead and looked horrid.  I love how b&w turns an ugly picture into a beautiful sight!
