Bumble Bee...

Once upon a time...

Seeing the morning sun shine through the fog as it lifts is a magical experience.  A place like this certainly makes one believe in fairy worlds.

In the process of getting caught up on all the photos that I have taken just before and during my computer's death.  Enjoy the moon.

Wow!  Two posts in one week... hotdog!  So the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day after I got off work today.  I thought to myself 'what a waste to spend it at home watching tv.'  So I didn't.  I called up a friend of mine for an impromptu photo session at a local museum.  I will post some of the photos I took of her and her kids in the days to come.  The whole place was blooming!  So beautiful.

Hopefully my uninspired streak has gone with the winter gloom.  Guess we will just have to wait to see.

It has been raining.  All week.  Which is making me concerned that I am going to have to reschedule a session that I have planned for Sunday.  Maybe we can make FLOOD work for us!


This prevning it was, of course, raining, but I saw the sun poke itself out of the clouds.  I grabbed up my camera, who's battery light is flashing (I can't seem to find my battery charger), and ran outside barefoot with a hope.  Success!  Mostly...  I didn't want to step off the porch into the wet muddy grass and risk my camera to the still falling rain so I was trying to shoot around the corner of the house through a tree.  My result is not the best rainbow photo I have ever seen... and hopefully not the best that I will ever take... but I am glad for it.  

Remember the rainbow is God's promise that the rain will not last... the storms will eventually clear.

I know that the holiday season is over and that it is a new year, but I was playing around with some photos I had taken over the season.  I am playing around with a new watermark design as well, so feel free to provide me with some feedback if you like or don't like the stamps.

Oh Christmas Tree. Oh Christmas Tree.  How lovely are your twinkle lights!

This photo does not really capture the beauty of the area.  I wish that I would have had more time to set up the shot and adjust for the lighting.  Unfortunately, this scene is across the street from a gas station and I only had as much time as it took my husband to pump the gas.

100/365 and playing at the park

Before we moved we didn't really have anywhere for Kiera to ride her bike or play so we went to parks.  This day she tricked her daddy into playing in the sandbox with her by claiming that she couldn't work the digger... I have seen her do it by herself before.  Clever little girl.

I love the smell of tomatoes on the vine.  The deep earthy smell reminds me of my childhood.

I have been away from my blog for way too long.  I have been going through things in my life that have caused me to not have the energy to sit at the computer.  I have to change that.  I have much to share... some of it is even from the summer.

Okay... I am going to admit that I rendered the sky into this photo.  Did anyone even notice?  I tried to make it as natural as possible.  The day that I took this photo it was cloudy and the sky got blown out in the photo.  I wanted to try to put it back in a bit.

Shutter priority is still my weak spot.  I am still figuring out speed vs brightness.

Our historical downtown street in Springdale, Ar.  I have to admit that it does look much better in this photo than it does in real life.  In real life I am very disappointed in my town for letting it become the way that it is.  It is run down and over half the buildings are empty.  It is so sad.

Bean pole.  There were no beans left on the poles though.  I have been trying to experiment with different compositions, angles, and subjects.
