I get by with a little help from my friends...

...On this last day of November, I am so grateful I am a kid at heart. You'd think I was a little nutty giggling when I shoot these shots of my little man! But I'm ok with that. Laughter keeps you young! I also want to thank my new blogger friend Geri over at My Heart Art
She wrote up the nicest piece about me and my blog...This is my way of thanking her!
Danbo was so excited when I told him he could help me photograph some chocolate covered pretzel sticks...

Uh...Danbo's idea of help is not exactly my idea!

Thankful...

...That's what I am!
Rounding out the month of Gratitude, and linking up with Kim's TT Kim Klassen cafe - .
* I figured this would be a wonderful time to thank all my new blogger friends & my on-line friends I've "met" through the years, for coming & visiting me here in my little piece of the blogging world.
* I'm thankful for every person & little thing I have in my life. It makes me giddy to think I'm married to the man of my dreams and have children who are thriving in this sometimes dog eat dog world.
* There are reasons beyond our knowing why we are sent along each others life's path~and I just wanted to say how very grateful I am that ours have crossed...truly.

Candid....

...shot
So yesterday, one of the prompts for the Scavenger Hunt was CANDID. I don't like taking photos of people that I don't know & I'm not even comfortable taking photos of people I DO know! I mentioned yesterday that I'm not even graceful taking photos of people that aren't suppose to know I'm taking photos of them, but that is something I'm going to work on in 2012.

BUT...I really wanted to complete the set-sooooooo...yesterday, our family got together to celebrate my Mother-in-law's 80th birthday. I think I nailed "CANDID"-

My sister-in-law & niece totally engrossed in this little man...

...I have NO idea what he was so passionate about...but I got it!

SHS~11/27/11

What a wonderful, relaxing, family time week this has been. 4 days off certainly does wonders for a gal! Hope you all had some memorable moments with loved ones. So, for my Scavenger Hunt over Ashleys, Ramblings and Photos,
I have 4 of the 5 prompts~but the day isn't over... yet! I have a hard time w/CANDID. I have issues with taking photos of people I don't know-I don't like to!! lol AND-I'm not very graceful when I'm trying to take photos of people who aren't suppose to know I'm taking photos of them! The whole candid thing is something I've decided to work on in 2012. With that said, here are my interpretations for the week:

WAITING

I waited a long time to watch for this water drop to fall. A gust of wind finally did.

FOLIAGE

I love shooting on gray, wet days. Everything looks fresh and new.

KNIFE, FORK or SPOON

My silverware waiting to be set for Thanksgiving dinner.

RULES of THIRDS

Love this prompt. It is a very good rule to follow...but sometimes, rules are meant to be broken...I have to remember that when I shoot!
















CANDID-
yeah..this is the one that i'm going to work on....Maybe even today!
Happy Snapping!

The Afterglow...

...This was how I felt after our Turkey Day~all aglow! Thanksgiving dinner is a lot of work but when your family walks away from the table smiling and "complaining" they couldn't eat another bite...is like sweet music to my ears & totally worth the effort! Oh happy day!

Peace...

...I'm grateful for the peace that Frankie & I have created around us as the world gets seemingly nuttier and more chaotic. We work as a team to keep things on an even keel. We see the rewards from our effort in Austin's success, for us as a loving couple, & as happy, easygoing individuals. Peace be with you and your family through this holiday season and Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours.

TT~Dream eDition...

Happy Tuesday!!

Continuing to share what I'm grateful for, today it's Time. I often complain I don't have enough of it & when I see open time, I try & use it wisely. Part of that time I'm thankful for is being able to steal a few moments and enjoy the abundance of wildlife that surrounds our home. I marvel at it on a daily basis.  My dream is to capture a perfect hummingbird in motion & I get pretty darn close! This is dedicated to Kim Klassen who talks a lot about dreams &she's got my imagination excited about possibilities. And thank you Bea-for always saying such nice things when I go into work about the photos I post...xo!
