2011~365-133 *Water Drop

Yesterday morning, I started by taking a picture of the hose since Craig was watering the flower bed & obviously the sidewalk too. But not too creative.

Later in the afternoon I attempted to do the water drops like Jodi's tutorial. However, I was too lazy to set up my tripod & use the remote so that might explain why they were still kinda blurry. Some of them turned out cool, but when I went into crop they lost resolution. I did some different things in photoshop just for fun.

I watched the other tutorial but didn't really feel like spending time to set it up. Then I decided it was time for my afternoon coffee. So I captured some of those drops.

This morning we finally got some much needed rain around here so I decided to capture a water drop from God. I like how the drop is clear but everything else around is blurry.

I'm thankful for Sunday school teachers that help my children make Mother's Day gifts. Being a homeschool mom, I don't get those hand made gifts that school children bring home.

Today, Cameron kept asking what he could do. So I let them make these valentines crafts that my Sunday school teacher bought for them.

2011~365-28 *Ball

I ended up asking my husband which one he liked best and he chose this one.

Ball Assignment

With sports being so popular in our house, the assignment of ball wasn't going to be a challenge. I wanted to think outside the box. Here's some of the different things I played with.

Risking my life and camera by sitting under the goal while Luke shot...Which angle do you like better?

I found out that my camera had a double/triple exposure setting so that's how the rest of these were taken.


Which one do you like and think that I should use for my assignment picture?

2011~365-22 *E&E-Excited!

Luke's team yelling "Bearcats" after their game! I love that his coach is so pumped up...even though they lost their game.

2011~365-14 *Upside Down

I had a hard time choosing which one I should use. I liked this more abstract one of Luke swinging with the sunflare.
But then of course, I had these cuties!

2011~365-3 *2011

Back to school work...do you think Luke wrote 2011 big enough?
