On the Water, Scavenger Hunt, & Labor


Theme: On the Water
BWS tips button
Here is the SOOC to the above image:
I adjusted levels, color, sharpened and cropped.
This is our 2nd son, his cute wife and grandkids from them.
Ain't they CUTE??? BWAHAHAHA....
It's OK, you don't have to answer, I KNOW it!  ;p 
***************************



1. Red & 2. Homespace
Sorry, had to combine them...
THIS is my front door, so it WORKS.  ;D
It's also SOOC, short on time.  *sigh*

3. Fence


This gal is a BIG part of my being busy. Her "country style" wedding was last Thursday and we took off camping on Friday. So I'll be busy with her edits for a bit.  ;D   So we had a perfect FENCE shot. YAY!!

4. Rock
I had to pull from my archives of June for this one. I did shoot my son on a rock up camping, but I don't have timeto edit it and it NEEDS it badly.  So, hope you like this one.  ;D

5. Sharp
Her bouquet is in "sharp" focus?
OR
Hmmm... I was debating between the sharp KNIFE for the cake cutting or the sharp(?) toe of the boot?? LOL!! I know, it's a stretch, but this one appealed to me more and it's edited already... ;p

Trust me... Shooting plays and casts is laborious.  ;D

Laughter, Work-Play, Yellow, B/W and Kids

I know, I'm sorry... I'm kind of MIA this week. Life's been crazy and other things have been priority. 
May be out of it for a bit, but I'll jump in here when I get the chance...
(or waiting for steps to save in PS!! LOL!!)

Theme this week: Laughter

The theme here being laughter, I couldn't resist throwing this 8 sec clip in of hubby making Vincent GIGGLE!





Theme this week: Work and Play
I guess the top photo can also apply here.
That is child #2 poking #s 3 & 4
That was definitely PLAYING!! HAH!!  ;p
But I had to add THIS!  ;D
I, too am going into the history files of my childhood. On this day I worked and played! LOL!! 
I was on the OTHER side of the camera for this wedding!! I was 4, my brother was 6. 
We were the flower girl and ring bearer for my dad's best friends' daughter. 
This was also my first public singing event. The band backed me up singing Apple Blossom Time!
SO.... Does this pic say 70s, or WHAT???  ;p

****************
I know you all just saw this, but it applies here and 
I didn't have time to do another. Sorry... ((HUGS))

This is one I shot and created into a postcard photo invitation.
This was the back, the front was color and they did use envelopes.  ;D
I blurred out the lettering for their privacy.  Just thought I'd share.

PhotoStory Friday
Hosted by Cecily and Lolli
Give me your best shot at Better in Bulk





This top image was Christmastime in 2004! Look how LITTLE my boys are!! This was shot with one of those little point and shoot cameras and spifffed up a bit in PS-CS3. This is STILL my favorite Santa pic! I absolutely LOVE how the boys are listening so intently to what Santa has to say! 

We have other great ones, too! Like the Santa at CA Adventure the next year! But I have to leave SOMETHING for holiday time! LOL!! Needless to say, we MISS having annual passes to Disneyland when we lived in SoCal!! It was AWESOME!! We had Southern California resident passes which were good through the week (No weekends/holidays... blacked out most of Jun-Aug) and we DEFINITELY got our money's worth out of them!! We didn't mind the times that were blacked out because those were the crazy busy days, which we didn't care for anyway. We got pretty spoiled going on slow days when we mostly waslked onto everything! *sigh*  ;D
