Tuesday Blog

A Blog About My Life, Photography & Travel.

Happy Tuesday everyone! It is supposed a hot humid day today so try to keep cool and check on anyone who does not have air conditioning to make sure they are OK.

I think we have all tried products that do not live up to their promises so when I find something that works I get really excited.  Just so you know, I do not make any money from the products I recommend.  Anyway, my sister turned me on to African Shea Butter by Ashanti Naturals.  This product works to minimize wrinkles and firm skin.  I tried it on my split ends and it worked beautifully.   It is a natural sun screen as well.  I have been told it works to relive Eczema & Psoriasis too.  I have been using it for a week now and I can see the difference.  How cool is that!  You can buy this at Sheer Treasures at Northtown Mall in Spring Lake Park, Minnesota or on line at:

Hats off to the State of New Jersey.   They have come up with a program that offers Scholarships for the unemployed to enable them to become entrepreneurs.  They even have small business loans to get them started with their new businesses.   Why aren’t there more states doing this?

Here are some tips on how to photograph insects.  This is not my favorite kind of photography but these tips will work for almost any Macro subjects.  As most of you know, flowers are my favorite.

 Today’s How I Took It Photo was taken at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.  I used my Olympus E510 SLR Camera, F 4.5, 1/200th of a second, ISO 200, hand held.

Today’s Thought For The Day is:

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.  So sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the Trade Winds.  Explore, Dream, Discover.  By Mark Twain.
