Day 26: Close Up

Love this lil man... ( and I think he loves me too! ) Yesterday after we shared Thanksgiving Dinner--- all he wanted to do with me is play Nancy Drew on the computer. I played a little bit, but my heart wasn't in it :) ( All I wanted to do was take a nap! ) But I think I made up for it--- read about a million books before bedtime :)

Day 25: Something Pink

Something Pink: Sweet little one year - birthday girl!

Day 24: Animal

Day 24: Animal - These cows - they love me when I come visit them... pull out the big ole camera and start shooting away. They are always very interested. The first time I met the cows I made the joke that they just remind me of a bunch of bridesmaids lining up for pictures... *ahem* fyi, I didn't know this then but I do now- they are male cows ;)

Day 23: Sunflare

Day 23: Sunflare - this isn't really a true sun"flare" but this was shot looking up at the sun from my pool chair in Florida. Can't wait til Janurary Fl travels! Yay!

Day 16 Long Exposure

...











































That is called Long Exposure- - - when you are completely WIPED OUT from a great amount of time being exposed to _________( you fill in the blank. ) Work, Sun, Lists of "to-do's", there are lots of things you can put in there! And I don't have time to get a long exposure picture, I tried- but all I could think of to work with tonight was a lamp by my desk, I didn't feel like thinking too much harder, and unfortunately Day 17 would just be on the list of "to-do's"--- that list is growing ever so quickly, so I decided to keep moving...







Day 17: Technology --- cordless mice, now I think thats pretty cool, probably simple, but cool techonolgy! I hate cords!

Day 15: Silhouette

I had the privilege of being asked for one of my senior sessions this summer to get some sunset shots... here's some Silhouette's of just that!

Day 14: Eyes

Here I am catching up again to Tami's photo challenge... Day 14: Eyes... I took a photography workshop once and the photographer said--- "The first place you look when you look at a portrait is the person's eyes." Notice it next time, you'll find yourself looking at the eye's first... Thats why he told us that you always want to make sure the person's eyes are in focus!

coming...

I'm going to be catching up here shortly... my 30 day photography challenge is continuing and I've been slacking but excited to update posts soon! Check out more of Tami's challenge here...

Day 13: Myself with 13 things...

Now I think its time to clean out my closet! Anyone intrested in some Vera Bradley?

Day 12: Sunset

Sunset- one word that brings a picture to every one's mind.... but is it the same Picture? What kind of sunset do you picture in your mind?

Some good ole IL sunsets... (with Seniors posing as silhouettes?) ;)

Ok not really a senior here... but I practiced on my sister! :)

Our IL view, fields - houses- telephone wires- ....

Or here is an Oregon Coast sunset... completely different than above...

Oregon Coast view, big rocks- clouds- whales (saw one while watching this sunset!)- sand- ocean- ....

Or Lake Powell sunsets....

Lake Powell View, Canyon walls, water, maybe some boats- that's it!

Florida Sunsets - My favorite kind in winter!

Florida Coast view, Palm trees- sand- ocean- sea gulls- people ....

It's all in how you view something, that gives you a perception on it. I'm glad to have a variety of "sunsets" in my perception! ;) does that statement even make sense? Its 12:36am and I'm trying to sound insightful! haha better go to bed!

Day 11: Something Blue

Saturday I got to capture little Clay! And he was wearing something Blue! Blue is for Baby Boy! And what a cute lil baby boy he is!!!
