Fresh

This week Love That Shot is asking us to show you our "Fresh" photos. I recently snapped some shots at the Boise Downtown Market and I Love this Bright, Fresh Lettuce shot!

I also wanted to share these shots of my Fresh Faced Niece ;) (OK, they really don't fit the Fresh theme, but she is just so beautiful and sweet that I had to throw them in here!!) :D LOL We were enjoying Crepes at the Market when I grabbed these shots...

Snowy Pine...

Woke up to snow this morning. I'm not sure who is more excited, me or the 7 year old!!

More Pumpkins...

For this week's Love Your Shot! Link-Up, my tip is to not be afraid of Post Processing, yes, you Can over do it, but sometimes you try an action or a effect that will amaze you with it's simplicity. For this Photo I ran the VampiraScope in Picnik just for giggles and I Loved the results.

Sweet Shot Tuesday is back at My 3 Boybarians! Link up your Sweet Shot from this week!

Pumpkins in the Patch...

Took the kiddo to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday. I got very dirty because I was taking pictures most of the day. I think the most important thing about pictures is getting down there with your subject, in this case it meant literally lying on the ground.

I think I'll throw this in the hat at

Kent Weakley's Photo Contest. (Why not, right?)

My Favorite Face...

My son, Connor, is 7 years old going on 30. He is such a mature child and is wrapped up in logic and exploration. At night, after a nice hot bath, however, he becomes my Little Baby Boy again! He will snuggle on the couch and just be...he will stop thinking, arguing and exploring for just a bit.

Earlier this month I snapped this shot of him all wrapped up in his towel and enjoying the evening on the couch. His hair was still damp, but dry enough for the red to really come out and so clean and soft I just wanted to sit and play with it for hours!

This photo breaks many photography "Rules" and is not a technically correct photo, but really, when your kid is this cute, who cares?!?!?! Right?? :)

I am linking this up to Love That Shot's Love Your Shot! Link-Up: Your Favorite Faces

Thanks for taking a look!

Glory of the Morning

Earlier this summer my Dad and I cut down Most of a dead tree that had been in my backyard since I moved in. Just recently I saw that a vine was growing from the neighbor's yard up the fence and around the trunk on my side of the fence. I was excited to see it bloom, because I Suspected it was a Morning Glory. I was so happy to see that it really was! Two Gorgeous blue flowers were worshiping the morning sun when I walked outside.

There is just something about the inside of a Morning Glory Bloom that makes me happy!

I took this picture using my SMacro setting. (I have a little point and shoot, but it does pretty good. There was a lot of ligh ton the flower, so I post processed it with quite a bit of added contrast.)

And here is the full flower, you can just see the second one in the background.
