Brown Eyes

So, I copied Kristy's idea, but I just couldn't resist the opportunity!

Full Moon

This is my attempt at night photography! I couldn't change my ISO settings, so I set my flash for "night" and took a bunch of pictures of the full moon! It was fun!

Thanksgiving to Me...

Nothing quite says "Thanksgiving" like Turkey, Pie, and Dishes! Sorry, I took my pictures after dinner, so the turkey was all carved up and the pies hadn't yet been served.

Editing...

The top picture is my original picture that I took of Josh & I, and the one below is the edited version.
It isn't much, but I removed wrinkles on my neck, blended out the shiny spots on our faces, and cropped the picture.

Happy Halloween!

This is a picture taken from the INSIDE of our jack-o-lantern, which made it "hit or miss" for getting a good picture!

Up Close & Personal

Here are my macro shots for the week, I am sure that you can tell what they are a picture of because they are not very abstract. But, it was still fun trying to figure out what I was going to take a picture of.

Fall Fun!

On My Tummy!

What great fun! I love the perspective and how Jakob's little feet look so big!

I tried a few different things trying to capture the "depth of field" perspective, but I found it difficult with my simple "point and shoot" camera, so this was what I came up with. I am excited to see what everyone else did!

Angles

Finally! Somewhere that Jakob would sit still... in the dirt!

Froggy Chair

This was a gift from a friend for Jakob and I just think it is the cutest little chair!

Relax

My nephew was so good to pose for me that I just had to put him in! He is sitting in a chair that was Mandee's when she was a kid, Mandee has since reapolstered it.

Jakob is always underfoot, and hence, always within 20 feet!

Rayne

This is our energetic Rayne! She loved having her picture taken!

Our Beautiful Backyard Maple

Mt. Si

This is the view from my front yard.

Pickles!

Yellow

These are some cute little bundles of yellow roses that I got from a friend, and they are sitting on a beautiful table runner that another friend quilted as a wedding gift.

Father & Son

Jakob just loves to cuddle with his daddy, and I am pretty sure that Daddy likes it too. (I love this picture!)

It's My Party & I'll Cry if I Want To!

I thought that the party hat, Jakob, and the hichair, were the essential three parts of this picture.

Watching T.V.

I was going for a diagonal line on this picture, considering the Rule of Thirds.

Fish Anyone?

So, this picture is from our Family Reunion in 2004, but it was the first thing I thought of when I thought about "summertime fun"!

Mmm...Ice Cream!

Nothing beats ice cream in the summer time! Especially when it has been so HOT! I had to post the whole progression of pictures, it was just too funny, this is Jakob helping Grandma eat her ice cream.

Beautiful Blue Eyes

This is my niece with her beautiful blue-gray eyes.

Natural Light

This is my attempt at "catch light". I spent the whole week taking pics of Jakob in hopes of catching him at the right angle in the right light!

Red Handed!

Jakob was caught red handed! He crawled through the TV trays next to my rocking chair, then behind the rocking chair, over to the end table to get the pen that I had taken away from him earlier! He did this while I was doing dishes. I knew he was up to something when he stopped making noise and was suddenly quiet.

Red Poppy

I think this is a poppy? Taken at the off-ramp headed to Wal-Mart in Covington.

Jakob, Up Close & Personal

I just took this picture tonight. I love taking pictures of Jakob and he lets me get really close, until of course he grabs for the camera! I cropped in closer editing it.

Abstract Tulip

This is a picture I took at the Tulip Festival and then tweaked.

Best Buds! Here are Josh and Jakob playing together at Christmas.
