Beauty to spare…

I was heading out to get my pop tonight and caught just a glimpse of the sky.  I rushed back to grab my camera, knowing that a better view was to be had up the road just a wee bit.  So I headed out and snapped away.  I have TONS of pictures, but this is the one I’m going to make a print of…it’s so gorgeous all the way!

Weekly Winners 6/21/09

Weekly Winners is the brainchild of the wonderfully Sarcastic Mom, Lotus

All of these pictures were taken on 6/19/09.  Indiana had a severe storm and I hunkered down with my camera and took quite a few.  I used my Canon Rebel XTi.  Some of them seem blurry because the wind was so strong it was impossible to stay perfectly still – and with it being so dark, the shutter speed was slow.

All of these pictures were taken at 9ish, so it was dark…all of the light comes from the lightning that was constantly flashing!!

For the week of 6/1-6/7/09

I had a photo shoot with the girls, got some new pictures of the dog, and finally figured out how to take a good moon shot. A couple other random pictures thrown in…

And we had a recent bout of storms. I started to worry when I saw this forming – but it dissipated just as fast. I have it set to a slide show so you can watch the progression!

And that’s it! It’s good to be back. Took me long enough 😀 Hopefully I’ll keep with it this time!

This week Sookie is home…and I created a recipe…and READ the latest installment of my fav YA vamp series…

1. Homemade-self-created yumminess (Chocolate Orange pufflettes – recipe coming this week)
2. Hunted – The latest in the House of Night Series. Just released Tuesday. Devoured in 3 hours and made me realize Twilight – SUCKED. There is no kind-of like…I was desperate for vamps. It cannot compete. 
3. A timeout that went way too long….she actually fell asleep.
4,5,6. Sookie is home and settling in…isn’t she beautiful?!

Weekly Winners – Awww, Sookie…

Okay, maybe I shouldn’t call it Aww Sookie because the name isn’t official yet…but who cares…It’s the front runner 😀

Today we went to the Humane Society to see about our dog. We had the choice of two beautiful little girls. The series of pictures are:
1. (left) Ethel Mae and Nellie sitting on my lap.
2. (middle) Ethel Mae and Nellie giving me wonderful puppy kisses (and bites)
3. (right) My angel baby puppy – the former Nellie – and future puppy of our home (quite possibly named Sookie)…isn’t she BEAUTIFUL?!?!?!?!

We’ll pick her up to bring her home next weekend.  They won’t let her go until she’s had her girly parts removed.  She was just sweet and loving and curled on my lap most of the time.  She gave kisses and suckled on my finger and played a little bit.  Her sister was a bit more rambunctious 😀

This week is pictures from a couple of weeks ago.  February went by in a haze and I remember little of it.  However for Angel’s CF clinic this month I brought along my camera.  So I’m calling this entry “Hospital in Black and White”
