I Heart Faces: Got To Wear Shades

As soon as I saw this week’s challenge at I Heart Faces, I knew I had a picture I wanted to submit.

Go check out other entries here.

100 Year Storm

Or as we call it around here, Thursday. We’ve had crazy rain storms around here this summer. Up until yesterday, the storms seemed to happen at night only, making for a great summer. But yesterday, the rain started around 8:00 in the morning, and didn’t stop until early this morning. There was a bit of […]

You Capture: Black and White

This week, Beth wanted us to work on some processing to create some black and white shots. I used some shots from our trip to the pool last Friday to play with some Lightroom presets.

You Capture: Vehicles

As the mother of two boys, you can be sure we have vehicles around here.

Space Shuttles:

A zamboni:

Lego vehicles, mostly Star Wars vehicles:

A giant bucket of cars/trucks/airplanes:

And Batman vehicles, which often surround the Joker-mobile: (I like the washed-out color, kind of like the old […]

Making the most of summer

We’re trying to get as much out of summer as we can. Summer doesn’t last too long around here, and winter lasts WAY too long, so you want to soak up as much outdoor time as possible. (It’s not like it’s so cold in the winter that you can’t be outside, but it’s too cold […]

You Capture: America

After my epic, photo-filled post the other night, this one will be short and sweet. These are different images of my America.

A parade route filled with spectators.

Flags flying (on the back of a Milwaukee-made Harley-Davidson, the only motorcycle that should be allowed in a parade […]

You Capture: Hands

We had the choice of “hands”, “chair” or “green”. I debated doing “green” and “chair” as I started covering our kitchen table chairs with green fabric, but then I decided to go with “hands”. My boys’ hands are very busy, very much of the time.

Busy playing “Rock, paper, scissors” […]

You Capture: Water

I had images of taking shots of the boys as they played in the sprinkler, slid along the slip-n-slide, or splashed in the pool. But our lovely Wisconsin weather had other plans. There were some cooler temperatures, a lot of clouds, and quite a bit of rain. So rain will have to […]

I Heart Faces: All About Babies

I wanted to join in on another I Heart Faces challenge, and this week it was “All About Babies”. It’s been about four years since I’ve had a baby living in my house (though Caden will always be my “baby”!) but I had the opportunity to babysit my friend’s little guy a […]

You Capture-Sky

I didn’t do much for this week’s assignment until today. I wasn’t sure if I was going to come up with anything, and then Mother Nature sent us a weird weather system that dumped huge raindrops on our house (and all over the inside, too, since our windows were open!) and brought […]
