Photography~

Not much to say...well more like too much time has passed to remember everything that has gone on, so instead I am just going to post photos now and again, until I feel like writing or scrapbooking once again.

 

It may be coming back...

A couple of pages I did today.

 
Nothing written on here.  Just a silly picture we took when we were watching Logan in Karate class. 

 
My sister and her best friend's daughter, Kylie.

 
And lastly, pics of the place we like to go to every once in a while for a treat.  Frozen yogurt, YUM!

Have a great weekend & a Happy Valentine's Day if you celebrate it.  Personally, I think it's just another day to get you to spend money for NOTHING!!!!
 
 
 

Christmas photo out-takes and a few other things

 

        

 
   

These kids always make me smile.  All of these and this is what I used. :)

Made cookies again this year up in Strawberry.  I wish I could have stayed forever.  It was a lot of fun to just hang out and not have to go anywhere or do anything, only what I wanted. :)

 

 

Had the family Christmas Party at my aunts house.  I took "some" pictures, but nothing worth bragging about or posting.  They were blurry and out of focus.  Lately, alot of my pictures have been that way.  Either I need my eyes checked or I just need to stay away from the camera for a while. 

I have little desire to create any more.  No scrapbook pages to speak of this time.  Just the couple above that sparked something obviously. 

I don't see myself posting again before the new year, so have a great one and hopefully I will feel more like blogging in 2010.

 
 
 
 
 
 
  

Got to take some pictures of Morgan :)

Morgan finally broke down and let me take a couple of pictures of her a few days ago.  I played with them in PS and LOVE the outcome. :):):)  I think she is gorgeous!!!  The frame I used is by Jodi Friedman.

 

 

hmmm......

Let's see, it's August 1ST and July just flew by.  The kids start school in 11 days.  I think we are ready.  Think being the key word here.

So 4TH of July was spent in Strawberry.  We drove down to Payson to watch the fireworks.  Parked where we thought would be a good spot...Apparently so did quite a few other people.  We had a car load of "older folks" who must have all had a hearing problem.  They talked so loudly and didn't quiet down the entire time they were there.  I think we finally got used to it somewhat.  The fireworks were pretty cool and lasted quite a while compared to the ones at home.  I really enjoyed it.  The photos however where not anything to brag about.  I left my camera at the house so the pics I got were with my cell phone and my little sony.

Hence...

  

The kids had fun hanging out at the house catching bugs and Steve relaxed a little & read a book.  I had fun snapping pictures of the them and the things going on in the yard. :)

         

The following weekend Steve and I had plans to go to San Fransisco but plans are always changing shall we say...Instead we took a drive to Flagstaff, Sedona, Happy Jack, Camp Verde, and back down to Strawberry.  I got to take a lot of very cool photos until my battery died... The photos below were taken by Lake Mary on the way to Flagstaff through Happy Jack.

     

The photos here are just out side of Flagstaff at a farm I love to photograph.  I got a couple of shots and then my battery died.  So no pics of the farm as a whole. :(

    

About the dogone battery, thought I left it at home still plugged into the wall charging, but the next morning when we were packing up to leave I remembered that it was in my smaller camera case.  That really sucked!  I didn't get any photos when we were in Sedona or any other place we went that day. :(  BUT, when I did put the other battery in, I was sooooo glad I did.  Because we saw these 2 gorgeous animals on the way out of our neighborhood heading back down to the Valley.

     

Don't you just love the "smile" in the last photo?  I am guessing these are the bad boys that keep eating the plums off of the tree in our yard every time they are just about ripe for the picking.  This year we had a pretty bad freeze right after the trees had bloomed and they didn't produce any fruit.  So I suspect the elk have resorted to raiding the bird feeders in the neighborhood to make up for not having any fruit to steal. 

Scrapbooking has fit in some too.  My sister and I went to the house last weekend and spent the whole weekend making an album for her latest trip and I got 8 pages done for a book I am working on about my school years K-12.   I have up to 8th grade done. Kindergarten and the title page can be found here and here. It's very simple but to the point.  A photo and a little journaling box to put down what I remember about that year in school.  I have also been trying to make atleast one page from each of the Studio Calico kits that seemed to be stacking up like crazy.

      

I guess that's it for now.  I need to get to bed. ~
 

November 17Th 2005

Took the kids to the park on Tuesday (11-15) and what a site toward the end of the day!  The moon was amazing!!!  Thought I would post a pic here to remind me of what kind of beauty the world has.

 

 

 

We had a picnic and played on the merry-go-round & swings.  Logan had so much fun on the swings!  He apperently doesn't remember them from when he was little and just couldn't get enough of them.

Steve got a couple of pictures of us on them.  What a great day!
