Pony & Chihuahua Fenced Friday

144.365

I tried to upload a different shot of this but BONK! it kept saying! Ugh! Well I was trying to get a photo for Fenced Friday and this kind of just happened. The pony saw me and then the doggie and I caught just a bit of fence. It'll work, no?

Candid Wednesday

142.365

We went to the park this evening and it was nice to get out, the kids were throwing the football and having fun doing all the things boys do. I got alot of shots that I was pretty happy with. I liked this one of my son, and the next one as the Sun was going down and spreading the last of the sunshine all over like a blanket.

Homegrown

"It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato." - Lewis Grizzard

I saw this quote and totally agreed with it. I'm pretty sure that everytime I bite into a homegrown tomato I close my eyes and think I've never had one this good.

In The Clouds

141.365 *(I posted both of these today but messed up, this one is from Sunday)

I found a church that is really very awesome, but one of the best things about it is it has an afternoon service for all the lazy people. :) No really I just like to enjoy my Sunday morning - the whole morning. I went to lunch with one of my best friends and we sat out on the rooftop of an old square. I love all the squares in the south!

HSS everyone!! *This was explored on flickr :)

Nature Organized

137.365

My son got into all my little flower pots and decided to put in them a collection of pine cones, pine needles, pine branches, leaves, etc.. this is a close up but there is quite a collection. I tried to upload a bigger view of it but it was giving me trouble.

Happy Wednesday All!

Barrington Hall

134.365

I went to a photo workshop today and a good friend went with me. We had a really good time and learned some new things, although I feel like it is going to take a long time to remember the settings. It seems like as soon as I feel like I'm getting the hang of it I realize I am so far from it!

This is Barrington Hall in Roswell. I'm not thrilled with this but I'm tired and it will have to do. The way to line it up is bothering me, if I line it up one way another way is off and I can usually work it out but well I'm done. If half of this doesn't even make sense I apologize, its been a long weekend, good, but long. :)

Rain on Me

And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain there would be no rainbow.

You don't live here anymore

How hard it is to escape from places. However carefully one goes they hold you - you leave little bits of yourself fluttering on the fences - like rags and shreds of your very life.

Flags of Nature

"The forests are the flags of nature. They appeal to all and awaken inspiring universal feelings. Enter the forest and the boundaries of nations are forgotten. It may be that some time an immortal pine will be the flag of a united peaceful world."

Dandy!

129.365

Well, we went to the park and I found soooo many things to shoot. I believe I will have plenty to share for quite a while once I'm done with my 365. So many wonderful things come with spring.

He couldn't keep a straight face when I told him to blow of the little petal things. He was like Mom not cool! Hehe I love it! I also posted one more with the little one and this is my first time trying this - how cool and a little cliche. :)

Not cool!

So cool!

I have seen this many times going to visit my Dad on the weekends but I finally stopped to get a shot of it today. I love this sign. This is in Cumming, GA. *And now I am caught up posting from my flickr, I don't know why but lately after I upload from flickr and post I guess I feel like I'm done and forget to post here. Well all caught up now.

Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

Baby steps (Catching up)

Well the Owls are gone, they flew from the nest and are on their own journey now. I love seeing all the babies that spring brings. The geese are everywhere with their goslings and they are so cute!

Euro-ish

124.365

When I look at this it gives me sort of European feeling which I love.
This is the only shot I took today, not that I planned it that way I just didn't shoot anything else. So I decided to make this one work - throw on a texture and Bob's your uncle.

(Food)ography

123.365

I am really enjoying food photography right now. I love to cook and try new things, I love to watch food network and get new recipes but rarely do anymore because it makes me want to eat more! But I love finding really good recipes and using new things.

So today I made some cookies for the kids before they got home from school. I love when they come home and as soon as they walk in the door their sniffers are in the air and their whole face lights up - "You made cookies!!

And I just want to say I am so glad I got Anna's actions! It takes so much time off editing! I have played around with layers etc.. and it takes time to get the look you want - I don't have that much time everyday! Thank you Anna!!

It looks even yummier when you view on black :)

One Good Pig

(I totally forgot to post for 3 days, I did post on flickr though)
121.365

I found this little guy in the coolest store. It had lots of distressed furniture - overpriced no less, at least for me and I saw this and me and my son fell in love. We did fight a little over who would keep him in their room, which he won until sometime later and didn't care anymore and now he is in the kitchen. :)

Bark & Bokeh

120.365

I sometimes complain about all the pine trees around my house, all the pine cones, and needles are a pain the you know what! But the Owls love these trees and if they weren't around then neither would the owls, or so thats what I read anyway. So I place my hand on the rough bark, look out at the woods now thick with green and enjoy the clean air. I'm in a really good mood so ya'll are going to have to deal with it!! :)

Pasture Flowers

(I forgot to post this yesterday)
119.365

I drive by this pasture everyday and have wanted to get a shot of this field with all the pretty yellow flowers. I am very fortunate to have many pastures with horses in them to drive by and look at, but this is my first time posting a photo of these guys. I just love paints, they are so pretty!
