Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday

I’m back, folks. I feel like I have been gone forever because I haven’t A) Posted a lot in the past week; and B) Visited/Commented on your posts this past week. But today, I am here. Be excited. :-) And with me I’ve brought a few photos…

   I’m linking this photo up with Faith @ Simplicity for her Light theme, with Darcy @ My 3 Boybarians for Sweet Shot Tuesday, and with Chelsea over at Paper Heart Camera for Touch Up Tuesday. Check these ladies out and Enjoy your Tuesday!!

The Challenges I am behind on…

I’m behind. I can’t help it. I’m swamped right now and I’m afraid that it’s only going to get worse when we get our orders and I start trying to track us down somewhere to live. Not to mention, my photos that I shot for all of the challenges that I knew about this week, are gone thanks to a jacked up memory card. ::Hiss:: But no matter, here are the ones that I’ve been able to round up.

A little preview of the Two-Year portraits I took of little man this weekend…many more to come.

Ok. Maybe that’s all…for now at least. Have a great day!

Sweet Shot

Ok. I’m totally and completely 110% behind on editing and posting. As we speak [ok, well as I type] I am attempting to eat supper (at a very late 10:00 pm), edit said photos that I am behind on and type this little post up for tomorrow. I don’t like when I miss challenges. I feel out of it. And I don’t feel cool. Because there is no post here for all of you to come comment on. So that’s why I’m going all Carrie Bradshaw right now as I multi-task and type and post and eat and…well you get the picture. I have not chosen a winner for my Giveaway here yet. I’m sorry. I will have it posted for you tomorrow. For sure. Please accept my apologies now and have a look at the photo that I have chosen for my Sweet Shot this week.

 
I took this in the broad daylight  by the window in the kitchen. However, when I saw it on my computer when I uploaded it, I knew that I had something totally different in mind for this photo. And this was it. Dark background with the bright contrasting yellow. I could really get all philosophical on you here, but I won’t.

And since it’s Tuesday and I just discovered this new challenged, I thought I would show you the original before photo so that I could link up with Touch up Tuesday. So here you go. The before:

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.

Sweet Shot

I shot a lot this weekend gearing up for the Sunday Scavenger Hunt. There were several photos that I was particularly excited about, but the point of this fun blog hop is to link up your sweetest shot…the shot than stands out to you above all others. This one was no competition.

 

Head on over to Darcy’s for more wonderful Sweet Shots!

Black and White

A Black and White Photo is going to suffice for several blog hops this week. So rather than doing two or three different posts, I’m going to do them all today, in one post. That way you guys don’t have to come back and comment on all them.   :) Totally kidding..but not really.

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!
