Pay Attention!

I have been spending a lot of time going through the pictures I took for the wedding last week.
So many of the images full total are just not worth anything...however upon closer inspection I find little details that start to whisper to me.

I look, and look again and begin to get a small nudge of possibility.
I crop and work some levels and then suddenly a whole breath of a story is revealed.

For instance...
These are two things that I saw all afternoon long.

The Bride, gathering up her long dress to keep it up high and safe from trampling feet.


The groom unbuttoning and buttoning his gorgeously fitted jacket as he removed it to take breathers from the heat, then put it back on for photo after photo.


Then I saw this piece of an image....

and knew (for me anyway) that it had to be part of that group!!!

Call me crazy...I guess I am.

Okay, then for today I went once more to my backyard and scrounged around in desperation for a few images for you.

My zucchini is somehow still alive even though a mysterious fungus has attacked it at the base.


I got a bit lower and snapped this shot. It appeals to me somehow.


This little fly landed, hopped, landed, hopped

landed, hopped...and I got him.


Hey...just look at this!!!


It has been here all this time, and never paid any notice to it.
That is just how it is some days!!

Pay attention, you just never know what you may see!!!

Later!!!

This kid

I am not sure how I have run out of time today to share with you but I have!

So real quick I wanna tell you about this kid.

His name is Dillon.

He is so good for my son, and has been since kindergarten when they first met.

I have him over to my home as often as I can because I know he loves my son!



He is polite and well mannered on top of that.
(and he willingly let me take his picture)



He brings out the best in my kid...uhhhhhh

...who you see strangely there in the background...running with the dog???!!!
Poor Shelbster!!!


Man, I love this kid!

I hope they stay friends for a long time yet to come!

Done!

Oh friends, I am so tired.
Our Vacation Bible School is over and my duties are done!!

I simply had to take out my camera today and keep my promise of taking at least one picture a day. No really I had to!!

My buddy over at her 365 blog is running behind and I give her all kinds of grief about it.
I cannot be a hypocrite, now can I ??
I tried taking shots of Shelby, but she couldn't stay far enough away for my lens to be able to focus on her. ( I have been away from home a lot this week, and she misses me. She is laid out relaxing beneath my feet right now. Content to simply be in my presence! She loves me.)
So, instead....
Sorry, but this is what was straight ahead of me when I raised my camera to my face!

I did take the time to adjust the exposure 5 different times to play with how dark I could make the background without losing the integrity of the spindles.

I couldn't leave you with only that though...

Here is one from a shoot I did...hmmmm, well frankly right this moment I don't remember when it was.
HA!
But I like it and will share.


I hope, beginning tomorrow my life finds some semblance of a summer time vibe!!

Here's to sleeping in!!

Well at least sleeping until my alarm wakes me at 7:20, when I have to get up to get my middle child ready for his day.
Hey...I suppose that is sleeping in...
kindof!!!
smile

sigh

smile

I love my life!!!

Whoa!!!
I have so much to say which I will probably forget...but by then I will have more to say so maybe that will all be okay!

I took pictures today at VBS.
They are boring....well for you they would be.

SO.....I am opting for this on which I took last Thursday!!!




Ahhhhhh ha ha ha!
Do you sometimes feel like a donkey in a pasture of horses?

I really don't have anything meaningful to say about that!!!

Too much sun today maybe!
This busy girl will be here again tomorrow, I know...you are on pins and needles, right?

No worries, I won't let ya down.
