108 past present and future

Last day for dandelions!

107 before and after

 Before, the puff in the back, after the one up top with no wishes left! :) Its not cheating if I use the dandelion in another form is it?

106 boho blow

So Promise was all dressed up and cute for school today so when I asked her to pose for me she was willing!!! So excited.

She's such a beautiful girl.

105 field of wishes

 This was hard to find. Most places that had a field of them was close to the road with no safe place to park! Finally found a spot and I am glad I got out and went for it!!

This guy has been hanging out in my tree! I think his girlfriend is around somewhere he keeps calling for her. Cool when the sun is up and I am awake. Annoying at 5am dawn break!

104 sparkles

Macro is super fun. I love how the seed floaters seem to glow!

103 dandy

 More dandelion shots. There was a challenge to shoot the same thing for 7 days but make the photos all different. I am trying it out.

102

 Busted out the macro extension tube today! Dandelion season is upon us. I have always loved them when they get white and puffy. I remember being a kid and making wishes on them.

101 batty

went caving with my bestie today. Saw these bats all over the place in the cave. We were told we could take photos but no flash. So the guide asked if anyone had questions... Someone asked some scientific thing about bats... someone else asked about bats... Anyone else have questions??? I raised my hand... Can I get up close to him and take a photo while you hold your flashlight on him?!

100 Uno Zero Zero!

Day 100 fell on Friday my double day. So my time was short, and my creativity sucked from me. UNO!

99 In a pickle... Jar

  Trying to be extra crafty to make up for all the cellphone selfies and cat pictures! No one would pose for me so I set up the tripod in the doorway and photographed myself, then I photoed a pickle jar on a white background. In photo shop I shrank myself and locked myself in the jar. A texture over the top of the image hides my bad cut job of myself somewhat....

The boys walked in on my tripod set up and posed for me. Thanks boys!

98 tulip

They had tulips on clearance at the store. So I bought my hubby a bouquet. I used a layer called "love letter to Olive" over the top of my tulip photo. I like the way it turned out.

97 blue eyed kitties

 Both these cats are "mutts" You can't pay for much prettier ones.

96 cat cuddle

 I wish I was a cat sometimes. Like right now.

95 Coconut cream

 Easter dessert. Coconut cream pie. The grocery was out of dried sweetened coconut on the shelves, they had it in the freezer section though.... I think I found out the secret to a MOIST coconut cream pie! MMMM. Thought of Don a lot today. Wish I could have made him a pie, or taken him a slice, had him over for dinner... Or just called to tell him I loved him today. I miss him most days but some days I miss him more than ever.

94 double exposed Hannah

 Read a tutorial on double exposure and tried again. A bit closer to what I want this time. I still need to play around more, my kids are not very willing models anymore.

93 cats eye

 

 Nothing like a selfie inside your cats eye ball!

92 lightening!

 One of my photography "bucket list" things is to catch lightening. Today the lightening was lighting the sky like crazy and the rain had not yet come... GREAT moment to go out and click away. 

 I didn't get the WOW shot I had always hoped for, but I got closer than I have before when I have tried. Improvement is a good thing!

91 April FOOLS

  I wish it were a joke. Every April in our town is child abuse awareness month. Each windmill signifies one case of child abuse in our small town.

90 Because fatty food is great after working out

Yesterday I work out. Today I eat pizza. That is how I keep the shape I'm in (round)

MELLOW MUSHROOM redskin potato pizza. Delish.

89 working out!

 Taken with my cellphone in almost 100% darkness by the street light! We went on a almost 2 mile walk this evening. It was great.

88 a me day

 Today I went out and took some time for myself. To take photos, to just not think about the kids or the husband, the messy house, or the bills. Just go out and take photos. It was nice.

some odd clouds this evening

Loving the shaped light bokah thing.

Taken for the assignment "fun with shapes"

"looking up" the monthly assignment

"looking up" the one that makes the cut. I love how the sky seems divided by the cross.

87 Fun with shapes

 The assignment this week in my photo group is "fun with shapes" my shape is a cross and I tried again, more successfully I might add, do do the shaped light bokah. YAY!

86 feeling bulletproof

I have not used cream in my coffee all week. I've done the "bullet proof" coffee. Well my version anyway I just read the actual recipe that calls for TWO TABLESPOONS Of butter, and one of coconut oil. I've been just using the oil, in place of creamer, its a fair trade... more natural and pretty yummy!

85 not quite what I was going for....

 Im trying for shaped bokah (out of focus lights) This looked cool to me, but was not what I envisioned. Stay tuned for my second try!

84 spring storms

April showers bring May.... Oh wait its still March. Well whatever, its springy out. Tornado sirens, Hail, spring like one day, freezing the next.

83 spring things

I love when all the trees bloom. Purple, white, and yellow. Its like a springy version of fall. And just like fall it goes by fast!

82 baseball

 There's no crying in baseball!!!

81 spring fair

Here in Arkansas they put up a fair in the mall parking lot. Several times a year. You know its spring when the fair starts setting up! I'd been wanting to do a long exposure shot of the fair for quite some time. Today I finally did it.

80 city girl bon fire

For Christmas my in laws gave me a fire pit. I could not WAIT to use it. Today it was warm enough that we did. It was awesome. Like being in the country... besides the cars driving by... oh and the too drunk neighbor who came outside to loudly vomit. Romantic.

79 yes another selfie

I am a busy mom who also works. So sometimes I just have a moment for a cell phone selfie and no other photos. Plus I was having a good hair day and needed to show it off!

78 light bulb moment

 I had wanted to do something way creative, like put a scene inside the bulb... then the day got away and a bulb is all there was.

77 that's me... Always behind!

I might be behind on my posting of the blogs, but I am still snapping photos! No worries

76 no pinching!

 I did forget to wear green today. I however did not forget to PHOTOGRAPH something green. :)

70/71/72/73/74

70 the baby got braces today the fog was crazy!

little cousin had "his surgery" all the Popsicles he wants for a while!

71 5th floor hospital room view

72 spring has SPRUNG friday the 13th can't say it was bad!

73 I love pretty weeds!

74 This really should have gotten its own blog.

 Im pretty damned excited about this one. I've wanted a droplet photo FOREVER and I finally took the time to do it and get it just how I wanted. Now I want to clean my sensor even more than before, becuase the dust I had to clean up here is CRAZY!

75 an apple a day... Miss Hannah is sick anyway.
