http://annafirtree.blogspot.com/2012/01/day-29-black-white.html
Saturday, January 28, 2012. Day 29: Black and White. In the 30 Day Photo Challenge. She picked up her first pair of glasses yesterday. I learned that my camera does not have a black-and-white option, and I learned how to make it black and white on my computer. Labels: 30 Day Photo Challenge. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Anna's Life: The Infinite Suppleness of Prudence
http://annafirtree.blogspot.com/2011/11/infinite-suppleness-of-prudence.html
Friday, November 18, 2011. The Infinite Suppleness of Prudence. I mentioned once, in passing, that God had told me to read this book. The Four Cardinal Virtues, by Josef Pieper. Now I'd like to share one particularly helpful insight that I got out of it. Pieper speaks of the limited usefulness of casuistry - the laying out of morality in particular examples - and then, in speaking of its limitations, he quotes [my bold emphasis]:. Prudence is infinitely supple. So then I happened to be driving one day.

Anna's Life: Post Twice!
http://annafirtree.blogspot.com/p/post-twice.html
For some reason, almost everyone who has tried posting on my blog said that they couldn't get it to post the first time they tried. (People who already have blogger accounts do not seem to have the problem, I think.) I don't know why this is! If you experience this problem, please let me know. In the meantime, re-posting what you wrote a second time seems to usually work. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to my blog! I'm Anna Macdonald. You can reach me at: annafirtree at gmail dot com.

Anna's Life: First, See What You Can Do With What You Have
http://annafirtree.blogspot.com/2012/02/first-see-what-you-can-do-with-what-you.html
Tuesday, February 7, 2012. First, See What You Can Do With What You Have. That's the other big theme of my life right now - besides Mountain Climbing. Here's a bunch of examples. I mentioned before that I will need a better camera to take really quality photos, but I did the 30-Day Photo Challenge to see what I could do with the camera I had. I need to catch up with Ken. Until then, I am learning what I can do with what I have. For instance. one cute sweater. I often have gift ideas in mind for people, b...

Anna's Life: My Simple Guide To a Camera's Manual Mode
http://annafirtree.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-simple-guide-to-cameras-manual-mode.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2012. My Simple Guide To a Camera's Manual Mode. Why should you go beyond auto mode? Get more natural coloring. Avoid shiny reflections messing with your photos. Take cool time-delay photos. Take photos in situations that auto mode just can't handle. How To Use Manual Mode. A) Know the Three Basic Settings You Can Change In Manual Mode. Ends up blurred. I find that right around 1/30 to 1/20, I reach the limit of my hands to hold still. Anything slower than that, and I have to...Is ju...

Anna's Life: Day 30: Self-Portrait
http://annafirtree.blogspot.com/2012/01/day-30-self-portrait.html
Sunday, January 29, 2012. In the 30 Day Photo Challenge. Frankly, these are probably worse portraits than the ones we did on the first day of the challenge. But that's what happens when you're too busy celebrating a little girl's ninth birthday to take additional photos. Labels: 30 Day Photo Challenge. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Anna's Life: Kyrie's First Communion!
http://annafirtree.blogspot.com/2011/05/kyries-first-communion.html
Wednesday, May 18, 2011. In lieu of the post that I was planning, instead I am going to skip past all sorts of pictures and videos - including PicVids from Elijah's birthday - and post about Kyrie's First Communion this past Sunday. Here Kyrie is hanging out before Mass with her cousin Evelyn and one of her friends in the parish. I would tell you the girl's name, but she's an identical twin, and I can't tell them apart. One of them is shown here; the other one was the altar server. Kyrie got to do the fi...

Anna's Life: The Miracle of Pooh
http://annafirtree.blogspot.com/2011/01/miracle-of-pooh.html
Tuesday, January 4, 2011. The Miracle of Pooh. In case you didn't catch this, we went to Minneapolis for Christmas. In order to avoid checked-luggage fees and long-term-parking-at-the-airport fees, all seven of us packed our clothes in backpacks/carry-on-bags and took the MAX light rail train to and from the airport. This worked out very well. until Elijah left his backpack on the MAX on the way home. He freaked out bad when he realized the backpack was gone. I don't think I've ever seen him so upset.
