Curious

I have had 11 hits on my blog since yesterday...just wondering who was checking in and looking at the pictures.  Whoever you all are, I hope you enjoy!  I love doing this.  It forces me to take pictures.  What I enjoy is that it is not always about the actual composition and/or technicality of the pictures for me, it's about the moments that I have been able to capture.

I had to post both of these because they seem to go hand in hand.  I had no clue what he was giggling at until I turned around from taking the picture of the bird on the sign.  I guess James missed that sign!  I’m just glad they didn’t bite his little fingers because they were literally eating from his hand!

Hoping the neighbors didn’t see me hanging out the window last night trying to take pictures of the awesome sky.   This one was taken after midnight so it does count as this day!  I’m headed out tonight to see the midnight showing of Eclipse so I won’t have time to post later this evening which is why I am posting so early.  Kind of a fitting picture for the big night, right?!  It’s really hard totake pictures of the moon…!!  I will be trying this one again!

I feel very blessed to have my Grandma (aka "Maw") spending the week with me. I was walking through the house and caught this glimpse of her outside reading her Bible. I can only hope to have faith as strong as her one day (not to mention her energy level---hehe). I am thankful for her example and for her loving hands.

You would have thought I took the kids to an amusement park today. They loved the railroad tracks!

Waited too late in the day today to take my picture so I had to get creative! I went to the basement and took pictures of me writing with a flashlight. The hardest part was writing backwards. I did it by slowing down my shutter speed and setting up my camera on my tripod. This is actually quite fun to do and I could probably do some really neat things with this trick. For now, sending my love to all of my "followers" and headed off to my bed. BTW, it is a regular flashlight but the light looks red because I held my finger over top of the light.

I got to take newborn pictures today! I love, love, loved it! I took so many pictures. Some were great....some were bad...but I love these precious little feet and those wedding bands around her teeny little toes! Children are a blessing and this one is especially wonderful!
I hope I get to take lots more baby pictures in the future!!

Gees, I took 80 pictures today. It's hard to filter out which one I want to be "the one" that I pick. I realize there is nothing spectacular about this photo. The kids all had spaghetti faces...hence the "aged photo" look. But I love their smiles. I just look at those three and see trouble---haha!

365---Starts today!

Well, after much stalking of photography blogs, I have decided to take the plunge and become a part of the 365 project.  That's right...a picture a day for the next 365 days!  I'm very excited to start this.  I hope to capture some great shots, great memories, and great learning opportunities!  If you choose to follow me in this project, I hope that you enjoy this journey with me. 
He thought this was a good idea to start.

Still fun...

Uh-Oh---not quite what he was expecting!

But it all ended with smiles!

My first entry to an I Heart Faces Weekly Photo Contest: Play

This is my son and daughter.  My daughter was actually playing peek-a-boo with her little brother.  I just love how she is looking at him in this picture. I am entering this picture as my first ever entry on my new favorite blog: i ♥ faces.  Such an awesome website for a newby like me to be inspired by great photographers.  This is also just the beginning of my newly started blog.  Hoping to add a lot more in the near future!
