I really didn’t get out my camera much this week. I’ve spent the second half of the week playing with my sewing machine instead of my camera. So, I decided to bring out some of the pictures that I didn’t get to in last week’s showoff of our photo shoot. These were all taken on the White River – where it becomes more of a creek when it’s not raining and runs through our local park. When I was taking the kids around town, we stopped in the park and seeing some other people playing in the river I impulsively took the kids down. The last few pictures were after we were done and I was cleaning the sand off my feet, the girls were changed and running around.

Now go check out some others, over at Lotus‘ place while I stare longingly at the photography courses in my local colleges course catalog.

I took the kids out today in an attempt to do a photo shoot of the kids for my family. I am fairly pleased with the results except that I only got one really decent shot of the three of them together. But, at least I got the ONE, which is great! This is only a small sampling of some of the great shots I got!! There’s a whole section of the kids wading into the creek, getting their clothes soaked…I’m definitely happy with my first official intentional photo shoot!!

Pictures from the week of 7/12/09-7/18/09
This week was busy with cleaning (I’m sparing you those pictures for now), a rebirth of my jewelry making, and ended on a very high note with my brithday!
First, a sampling of pictures from jewelry night and just a day in our yard.

Then a series of pictures I’ve taken of the sky during the week. One of my favorite activities.

And last, but not least, my birthday! Archie took me to The Melting Pot. It was wonderful and amazing and he didn’t balk at me taking in my camera. I’d say about 90% of these are straight out of the camera…it was delicious and we had a ton of fun!!! Oh, and the picture of the back of my head was to show off the hair it took me an hour and a half to style 😀 And no, it’s not time to cut it yet.

It’s my turn to show off pictures from the nature walk. I’m ashamed to say, I think his might be better. But, my pictures were all manually set and focused where his were all auto. Is that a valid defense?

P.S. I know the bat is out of focus, but even the pro’s that were there were having trouble because of where the sucker was located – and we weren’t allowed flash to snap him for obvious reasons…but between Brandon and I that’s the best we got.

This weekend Brandon and I went on a dusk photography nature walk with a couple of photographers at the local nature park. They praised him (as do I) for his attempts to capture everything without a hint of hesitation. The results of his attempts are astounding…and shown below-I’m impressed…are you? (P.S. My pics coming in the next day or two)

Shades of the past linger here
Through time and distance and space
Our ‘pool’ was bigger,
A lake, a pool, a far distant place
The joy is the same,
The splashing, the laughter, the fun
Soaking up the days
Enjoying every moment in the sun
Tomorrow comes too fast
Yesterday becomes just a dream
Until you see it in your own
And a new yesterday begins to gleam
