Blurry Long Exposure

 Long exposure 101: Use a tripod.

I forgot my tripod, and most of my brain today... 

Ended up at a lake to practice long exposures without all of the equipment I needed.  That left playing around with settings to see how close my ND calculator came to a proper exposure (while hand-holding the camera).  I never intended to use one of these shots, but since I didn't get inspired to get my camera out again today, I guess this will have to do. 

Feeling pretty gutted over loosing my sweet girl.  It's amazing how physically painful grief can be...

But the wonderful and sweet support from all of you was so touching and appreciated by both me and my husband.  Thank you all for everything that you had to say, it really meant a lot to us.
