Over the past few years, I’ve found myself apart from my camera more than with. I missed the old days of the Weekly Winners with Lotus. I recently tweeted this fact, and she brought it back, twitter style…so I’m hoping that gets me back friendly with my good old Canon. For now I’ve committed myself to once a month, but hope that one day it will become far more frequent.
This week, I’m taking you to Epcot.
But I’m not talking rides and countries and the big ball…I wanted to get into the details of Epcot. I wanted to get beyond the tourist and into the awesomeness that is Disney in the details. All of these were taken with my Samsung Galaxy S8.
And just because…one obligatory “see the ball from across the pond” picture. It was a nice day, sometimes you have to do it anyway. 😉

This week, I’m taking you to the Circle B Bar Reserve near Lakeland, FL. My eldest and I went on a little hike there shortly after I moved down. Unfortunately, we had to share the zoom lens, and all of my actually good photos came when I had it on…so I don’t have as many as if I’d had my lens all along.
Anyway, enough of my jabbering. Onto the photos…

As I miss the days of the Weekly Winners once hosted by Lotus, I wanted to start showing pictures again. Mostly because in the past few years as I became more involved in writing, my camera became a bit neglected. In hopes of reinvigorating my photography life again, as I’ve always loved taking pictures, and miss it.
I started by giving myself themes to follow, but have since decided to just go into it with my whole heart and show the best of the weeks shots and some of what happened in the week I’m showing.
Week – 6/21/15-6/28/15
A tiny inchworm we discovered outside. Tiny tiny tiny.
The Husband
Denver’s friend & mentor (& our neighbor), Marc, giving a touching speech at Denver’s Eagle Ceremony.
The Kennedy
My most interesting event this week – meeting the fascinating Mr Chen Guan Ming, the man riding a rickshaw around the world.
I did a full on photo shoot with my daughters’ and my Monster High Dolls. I LOVE these things, I admit it. My husband thinks it’s weird as hell that I love them like I do. I think they’re beautiful. These are just a few of my favorite pictures from the session.
Sweet Screams Ghoulia Yelps
Avea Trotter
Gloom and Bloom Catrine de Mew
Scaremester Clawdeen Wolf
And that’s it for this week! More to come next week…considering I get my camera back out 😀

For the first time in months I made a concerted effort to get out with my camera and seek out the word prompts for this weeks scavenger hunt. I enjoyed the challenge and finding some camera time in the midst of a very busy week. (I did have to use one picture from my archives, but it’s a fav so I’m not too upset)
All taken w/ Canon Rebel XS.

2. Fallen

5. Fence
…his affections, like ivy, were the growth of time, they implied no aptness in the object. ~Robert Louis Stevenson
[flickr id=”8012241490″ thumbnail=”medium” overlay=”true” size=”medium” group=”” align=”center”]
There can be no friendship where there is no freedom. Friendship loves a free air, and will not be fenced up in straight and narrow enclosures. ~William Penn
