Weekly Winners – One Moment edition…

weeklywinners1

All taken w/ Canon Rebel XTi.
For week 9/06-9/11/10
Title of this weeks Weekly Winners in honor of the first three pictures.  They prove that one moment in time can be all it takes to capture beauty & perfection. And it doesn’t need editing. These first three pictures are also SOOC – only editing for size (and a minor crop on the second picture)

I See You

I Wonder Where She Goes –
And if she’ll ever be able to tell us

Classically Handsome
(Once again my nephew “Poochee”. He was just too handsome in this picture)

That’s it for the ‘one moment’ pictures…just two other winners this week. I had so many other pictures that I liked – but this week I’m just posting those that I LOVED for one reason or another…otherwise this page would get way too slow loading!

On the Line

Excitement in a Test Tube
(Post on these coming later this week)

That’s it for this week!  I was dangerously close to putting about 15-20 pictures up. So I forced myself to narrow it down. This is about ‘winners’ after all…I can’t be putting up every picture I have 😉

For more great photos, head on over to Lotus‘ place.  She is the brainchild of this activity, after all. You’ll find no shortage of brilliance on her site, or in her linky. (Wait, that sounded kinda dirty).

Many pictures this week. I got very camera happy.

Angel & I went to the local park and took a walk along some of the trails.  While there we happened upon a little hidden area in the trails that had a ton of butterfly’s and dragonfly’s!!  Here’s just a few of my absolute fav’s:

In Flight

Kissing Cousins

Glorious Green

Then Archie & I went to the fair to see a show…
Midway

Lights on the Midway

Hilariously Fabulous w/ a Guitar

JEFF DUNHAM!!!

With Walter

And Achmed

Peanut, of course

JOSE (On a stick)

And a special treat. A new act, DIANE (loved her!!)

Jeff put on a GREAT show, we LOVED him!!  So glad we bought the tickets soon as we saw that he was coming to Indy!!

And the last few pics, I promise….

Frills

Fabulous Ribbons

Fabulous Fun Locks

Okay, that’s it!!  For this week, at least!!  Been taking a lot more pictures, so narrowing them down is getting harder…although I might have done better this week if I didn’t want to get all of Jeff in there!  I would have had more, because I met with some great blogging ladies tonight, but I’m saving that for another post!

For more Weekly Winners, head over to Lotus‘ and enjoy!!

Weekly Winners – Just Breathe

weeklywinners1

All taken w/ Canon Rebel XTi.
For week 7/12-7/18/10

This week was crazy bad (see previous post), but it also had some good things. Today is my birthday and I want it to be good, so I’m trying to remind myself to just breathe and remember the good things. These pictures help.
I did attempt to re-start project 365 this week, but I forgot on Thursday (worst day) and decided to try again next week, so hopefully that will be happening in the next few weeks. I want to get ahead of the game by a week.
I also got a new photo-editing/managing software program this week. I’m wishing I could afford the pro version when it’s time to buy, but I’m afraid it’ll not be happening this year. Either way, I’m loving my new editing software and will tell you more about soon. It’s my new best friend.

Onto the pictures!

JUST B-R-E-A-T-H-E
(This was the test that determined if she stayed home or was checked in. She just had to breathe well. She didn’t, but she breathed better than last time.  That’s my Angel’s RT in the picture with her. She always makes it fun for Angel!)

It’s a lot this week, I know…but Sunday was a good photography day. I ran out and took a little photo walk, thus the railroad theme for most of it.

Go over and visit Lotus for some more great WW’s!!!
