Project 52: Week 13 {Just for Fun}




I'm a bit behind in posting it but I did get this photo into the group last week.  This was our day at Universal Studios in Orlando last week.  It was raining a bit in the morning but we decided to head out anyway and make the best of it.  This is when we first arrived so we all are still dry, having fun and just putting our smurf outfits on.
It ended up raining pretty much the whole time we were there.  It was a light rain so it wasn't too bad.  At least it helped keep the crowds small! 

This week's theme is "Fusion".   Help.  I'm stumped!

Project 52: Week 12 {From the Jewelry Box}


These are baby rings that were given to me by my aunt and uncle for my christening. They were then put on a chain so that as I got older I could wear them around my neck.

Super Moon



Yay!  I finally got a shot of the moon that I'm happy with.  I guess tonight it is the closest it's been to the earth in about 18 years at about 220,000 miles away.

I used my 75-300mm zoom at 300mm, but still cropped it a bit afterward.

Project 52: Week 11 {Darks and Lights}




{sigh} This is what you get when you wait until the last day to do your photo.  I wish I would have put more thought and effort into this one.

Project 52: Week 10 {Childhood Toys}

Childhood Toy


This is one of my first ever toys. You can tell it's old by the dirt and dust! It feels kinda sticky too!  I don't specifically remember playing with it when I was little but as I got older I always remember it being around. Even had it sitting in my room as a teen.

Project 52: Week 9 {Express Yourself}

Express Yourself


I just told my daughter to sit on the bench and this is what she did! Lately she seems to be trying to "express herself" more with the way she dresses. She has been "borrowing" some of her sister's stuff. She has also been trying new things with her hair.

I heart Faces: Anything but a Face








I did at least 3 edits on this photo and probably could have kept going.  I couldn't decide how I wanted it to look.  I finally asked my husband to pick his favorite.

Project 52: Week 7 {Open Your Heart}

Open Your Heart


I had ours names engraved on this little mirror back when my husband and I were first dating.  To make a relationship and marriage work you really need to "open your hearts" to each other.

Scavenger Hunt 101 {#17 Fire}

Fire



Sometimes you need a little firebon* to warm you up on those cold Wisconsin nights!

*Firebon is the "term" we've used since my youngest daughter started talking.  The elementary school my kids went to had an annual bonfire in October to kick off the school year.  When we first started going she would call it a firebon instead of a bonfire.  We couldn't get her to say it the right way and it has just been a part of our family ever since!
