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."

Helloooo Summer :D

Finally...not only has the weather turned warm, it's turned HOT! & You won't see me complaining not one bit! It's been such a dreary, cold, rainy, depressing, fall, winter & spring...I'm going to welcome summer (no matter how hot it gets) with open arms! Anyway, this Memorial Day weekend, we took out the kiddie pool, & needless to say we had a  blast...

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Glad I got a hunt together this week! Crazy couple of weeks, well this week was crazy too with Maddie being sick, but still somehow was able to put something together...Here are this weeks interpretations!

Classic Still Life

This is from Maddie's mobile, the butterflies once hung over her crib, but so beautiful...it's remained in her room, now over her big girl bed.

This was an easy one, Fred's always on the floor....lol unless he's hanging out on his newest favorite spot; our leather recliner in our family room...spoiled rabbit.

Thought this would make for a cool pic for this topic...I was shooting our rose bush...and this was hiding amongst all the thorny branches.

Went with the obvious here...just opened up the fridge and shot a fresh red delicious apple :)

As always, happy hunting! & Happy Memorial Day weekend :D

Some Random Macros

It's seriously been raining around here (with the exception of Jason's Holy Communion Saturday) for what seems like forever! We had a nice warm day, with a few peaks of sun so me & Maddie got some time to play in the front yard.  Perfect opportunity to check out the budding flowers around the house.

Here's what I found.

& so are the clovers! I'm afraid with all this rain, we haven't had the chance to mow the lawn, & our yard is covered with these!
