Tuesday x 3

I’m linking this cute, cute photo of Little Man giggling up with Trendy Treehouse! I took at the park yesterday. He loves the swings. It only took a few tries to get him going, but once he started laughing he couldn’t stop. This weeks theme: Laughter. I’m also linking this up with the “In a Yellow House” challenge. The theme is “Work & Play.” And while this photo is one of Little Man playing…being a parent is a full time job and there is definitely, DEFINITELY a lot of work involved.

This is possibly one of my most favorite shots from this past week. I took it at the pond by my parents house. It had just finished raining, the water was murky, but calm as I have ever seen. I plan to frame this one. It’s so tranquil and relaxing. I’m linking this shot up with Darcy for Sweet Shot Tuesday.

I’m linking this picture up with Faith at Simplicity for her Tuesday theme: Love. I know that this is not a picture of two people holding hands, or kissing, or a mommy and a daddy with their newborn. Those are all perfect examples of love. But these flowers represent that to me. I got these in the mail about 2 weeks ago. Hubby has been in California sine April 17. He missed our Anniversary. He missed my Birthday. He missed Mother’s Day. And unless we go visit, he will miss Little Man’s birthday. But nonetheless, my wonderful husband finds the time to send me flowers…Crimson Red roses at that. Two dozen of them, with a beautiful card telling me how grateful he is that I am his wife and how much he misses me. Love that man so much. And these flowers remind me that love can and will conquer all…even long distances.

Tuesday’s Two

It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time for a few fun photo challenges [as opposed to every other day, right?!]

The theme at Trendy Treehouse this week is “Vacation.” I started to post a beach picture or something, but then I realized that there are probably going to be 100 other beachy photos to go along with this theme with summer wrapping up and whatnot. So instead I thought I would post one of my favorite photos from our trip to Atlanta for the 4th of July. This was really the only big vacation that we took with hubby being gone and all.  We went to a Braves Game while we were in Atlanta and this is the huge Hank Aaron statue that sits outside of Turner Field.

 

 

And for “Sweet Shot Tuesdays” with Darcy, I’m linking up one of the totally random, but really fun vintage photos I took at my parents house the other night. You’ll be seeing several more where this came from this week as I’ve used some others in different challenges. Hope you like! I know it’s one of my favorites.

Sweet Shot/Shutter Love Tuesday

 

This week I’m linking up to two brand new [for me, at least] photography memes to show off some of my photos. This week, I’ll be linking up with Darcy for Sweet Shot Tuesdays and with Trendy Treehouse for Shutter Love Tuesday. Here is my entry for this week:

I downloaded the trial version of CS5 until I can get my hands on the real deal later on in August. I’m absolutely loving it so far!!! If you can’t tell, I attempted to play around with textures here a little bit. Didn’t use any actions on this one. Did all the hard stuff myself.  :) Head over to these great blogs for some photo fun!
