Maple Buds are bursting!

OMG is it absolutely glorious out there today!   Went for a lovely walk before i headed into the mudroom.....the perfect window is open right now:  no snow, no bugs, no mud......i wonder how long it'll be open ?

Yesterday i finally dealt with the kiln disaster - unloaded it all and took a hammer to every last piece!   It was oddly satisfying i have to say!  

Trimming and throwing today....but not before i spent sometime this morning at this amazing Lightroom summit thing!!!   Don't know if it's too late to register, but here is a link!    It's a free summit, on for 5 days i think. and each day there are something like 6-7 videos dealing with different topics.    I have to say that even altho i've been using LR for quite a few years (and i have an older version) i have learned so much from watching these videos.   Each day's videos are available for the following 48 hours, so no need to watch as they uploaded.   If you use LR and feel like you could use some more info and some amazing detail, i'd highly recommend this.
