MY TAKE ON PHOTOGRAPHY

"The reason why we want to remember an image varies: Because we simply 'love it', or dislike it so intensely that it becomes compulsive, or because it has made us realize something about ourselves, or has brought about some slight change in us. Perhaps the reader can recall some image after seeing of which has never been quite the same."

Scavenger Hunt!

Nothing says summer more than a kid in a pool :D

The letter "A"...of course I needed to verify that it indeed looked like the letter A by getting darling son's approval...after exclaiming first that it is his basketball hoop, that "yeah Mom it does look like an A!"

After having several failed attempts at shooting our shed door (a somewhat interesting looking door compared to the doors to our house:P). I had to think of something! So, this is what I came up with:

This was an easy one... After consulting with darling daughter (my expert in Love), quickly showed me the "symbol of Love!"  So here you have it :D

Celebration was really hard, I've only had my camera since February and haven't been to that many "celebrations." Other than a few birthday parties for my nieces, I didn't have that many shots of people actually celebrating.  This is just a snapshot I took the other day, of darling daughter simply celebrating being a kid... LOL, she was pulling grass and throwing it up in the air like confetti!

Evening shots

Maddie at sunset, I just can not resist photographing her at this time of the day...It's so hard trying to get the right settings for perfect exposure. Here's some of my favorites from yesterday.

Balloon Festival

for the summer solstice..what a lovely day!  I would have preferred though that the balloons were launched with the sunset in the background :P Every year they launch in a different spot, it kind of changes depending on the direction the wind blows. Oh well, I can't complain!!
