The Sky

Genesis 1:6-8

God spoke: "Sky! In the middle of the waters;
      separate water from water!"
   God made sky.
   He separated the water under sky
      from the water above sky.
   And there it was:
      he named sky the Heavens;
   It was evening, it was morning—
   Day Two.

The past several weeks our sky at sunrise and sunset has been just glorious.

I mean, stop in your tracks, catch you off-guard, leave you awe-struck, make you forget where you are, beautiful.

I don’t remember the sky being like this. Part of me wonders if I’ve been missing it all of these years and just started really seeing the beauty since I’ve gotten into photography or if the sky has just been especially awesome lately.

Either way, I’m so happy and thankful that God gave us this sky!

Have You Made Your Christmas Cards Yet?

Shutterfly is one of several sites that allows you to upload your photos and share them with friends and family and make numerous creations with those pictures.

Since 2003, I have made our annual calendar on Shutterfly.

It’s a riot to go back and look at these calendars and how much the boys have grown.

Their calendars are great, but what I really love about the site is that I am able to be transported back in time when looking at all the pictures and projects I have saved over the years on the site.

There are many options of Christmas cards to choose from.

 

How about one like this with one picture and a simple saying?

 

Or one like this with multiple pictures?

 

What about this one with a top 10 list? I think this might be the one I order this year.

 

Or what about making a calendar for the grandparents? I know that’s a gift they will always treasure!

I wouldn’t steer your wrong! Shutterfly has got some neat stuff! Go check it out now!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I’m going to start off saying I did a really not-so-hot job this week. I mean, really, really bad job. You’ll have to laugh, but know you’re laughing with me and not at me because I have to laugh too because some of these shots are just that bad.

Hot

It was a little hot out this afternoon for the boys’ games. I did some Elements stuff on it and then don’t know what happened to it. I had taken out the chair in the background and did something with the coloring, but then this is the pic that came up when I put it in Windows Live Writer. Weird. I must have saved an older copy, not the new and better copy.

Cold

I actually like this shot, so please don’t laugh at it. ;)

Technology

Who knows what I was trying to achieve with this one. That’s my son all blurry in my screen. So far I’m 1 for 3 in shots that are decent.

Sparkling

Are you laughing yet? I mean come on, aren’t I really talented? Is your “sparkle” picture that cool? ;) Truth be told, I did try to get some sparkle but nothing worked out well.

View Above

These are in the “do not laugh” category. I like these! These were taken about 10 minutes apart in opposite directions. Seriously amazing sky tonight!

I hope I’ve brought a smile to your face with my worst ever Scavenger Hunt Sunday. I have high(er) hopes for next week though!

Trippy Leaf, Dude

I really wanted to try this liquify effect on a portrait type picture, but since losing all of my pictures with the blue screen of death a few weeks ago, and no willing participants at all in my home, I decided to play with this leaf. I think it looks pretty trippy and far- out, dude.

SC in the Fall

I love South Carolina. Many things about living here are great. But, one of the best things is not really having to deal with winter. I am very thankful to live here and not have to deal with snow more than 12 hours a year.

These pictures were taken at a local park. I really played with some of the processing and had fun “creating” more interesting images.

Enjoy!

Mother-in-Law and her Camera

What inspires you?

My mother-in-law has always been a picture fanatic, to the point where family sometimes gives her grief about always snapping with her camera. I must admit, I once one of those people who might think it was a bit much. My how things change! She has inspired me to always have my camera handy to snap those important (and not so important) moments of every day.

Saturday at the Park

This fall has just been gorgeous here. Leaves are still on the trees and some are still green! The boys, grandma and I love to hang out at parks and just enjoy the surroundings.
