Am I the only one who takes pictures of random stuff around the house? This is Audrey's walker ... and it happened to be sitting in the sun ... and I happened to have my camera nearby ... and here's a picture of a walker lit by sunlight coming in through the nearby window!<br />
<br />
<b>2. Jack O'Lantern</b><br />

My mom bought this Jack O'Lantern for us ... and when it's not Halloween you just turn it around to the other side and it's a decorative circle thingie ...<br />
<br />
<b>3. Faces formed in Nature</b><br />

Ok, so I cheated. You can't tell me you never have ...<br />
<br />
really?<br />
<br />
Well, when I saw this on the October photo hunt I was like, well at least I have a month to figure this out ... and then Ashley chose to feature this theme here ... so I cheated. I'll figure it out later (i've been busy, lol)<br />
<br />
<b>4. Sunset</b><br />

So, not my favorite sunset ever, but I took it this past week, and I'm totally into the silhouette pictures.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Warm</b><br />

What is warmer than flannel Princess PJ's on a fall morning? Oh, and they are pink! even better :-)<br />

Leah was soaked to her bones and Andrew was chasing her around with the water hose. Quickly I grabbed my camera, to take pictures ... and also to have an excuse not to get sprayed by water!</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">Here's a favorite of Andrew spraying water. The sky was a bit overcast on that day, so I took a moment to warm up the picture.<a href="http://www.pixelperfectblog.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

My recent favorite effect is the tint (faded to ~80%)<br />

<br />
<br />
These are the moments I never want to forget. The fun that comes from being soaked while watering plants seems to rival fun sought after on expensive vacations.<br />

This is perfection is the smallest way. Spontaneity that I wish I had, but at least I have a camera to capture it all.<br />

I love Leah's collection of books! We always read one before bed, and last night bedtime fell during the Auburn game. She picked on the of the longer books, so instead of reading the words on the page I made up my own words and we were done in super time, lol.<br />

Yesterday was her funeral. It was beautiful and sad and fun all at the same time. I am so glad my mom didn't care if I took pictures, because I think I would have been lost without my camera. Here are some of my favorites:<br />

I have totally let you all down! I have some absolutely wonderful pictures on my camera (ok I think they are wonderful, lol), but ... I can't get them onto my computer! <br />
<br />
Oh yeah ... did I mention that we moved this last weekend? And then the day after we moved I started my new job? Oh, and the worst thing yet ... I discovered that Blogger is BLOCKED at my new job!!!!!!! <br />
<br />
I'm going through picture with-drawls y'all ... so here are some old pictures ... just because I can't post on my picture blog without them!!!!<br />
<br />
These are some of my early attempts at photography from a visit to Calaway Gardens is Georgia. I am so excited that our Thanksgiving will be there this year ... and know that I know so much more about photography I am so ready to take pictures there!<br />
<br />
So here you go ... completely 'un-educated' and un-edited pictures (and they are smaller because I don't feel like re-sizing them ... sorry guys):<br />

I remember one time I was shopping with my parents, and they were so excited they went out and took like three pictures of a tree branch that kinda looked like an 'E'. And then Life with Kashion interviewed a fabulous photographer who had this super cool poster showing off the letters of Paris.<br />
<br />
and I thought ... I can do that. So ... I did. I went out and walked around and looked like a fool taking pictures. I now have the ABC's from around as far as I wanted to walk from Vanderbilt's campus.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">ok ... I know it's missing 'Z'. I have a Z, but I can't figure out how to add it to my collage that only offered 25 photos ... so now it's a Z-less collage, lol!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That was fun! I challenge everyone to go find letters and shoot them!

Maybe that's why all my photos seem (to me) to just have a very basic edit on them. Sometimes I think they lack that *punch* or something different, special and unique; something more than just the way the photo is taken. So, I'm going to try something different. I'm going to convince myself that I don't have to churn out all my photos in one day, and take my time and play with my favorites ... well, because I can! <br />

I love the inspiration that comes from <s>stalking</s> enjoying other people's work. I love the will that I have to go out and use the inspiration, to tweak it into my style. So, I'm going to share it with you, because I also love people who share their latest inspirations for me to be inspired by as well!<br />
<br />
Hence week one of Lazy Day Saturdays. Lazy -- because I don't have to blog, I'm lazily <s>copying</s> sharing other people's work with you!<br />
<br />
Enjoy<br />

</div>Now that I'm a mom, I have to balance doing stuff that I enjoy with my kids. I enjoy fantasy football. It has always been something that my husband and I could do together, starting off when we were dating. We joined our church league last year, and this year had a live draft. While everyone else made fun of other people's picks, planned who to take next, and focused on football ... I had to split my focus between football and my two darling girls.<br />

'Christy it's your turn to pick ... you have 2 minutes.' What! I don't even know what the last 5 picks were because I was chasing a baby around a non-baby-proofed house. <br />

and then for the last half hour or so, I gave my cherished camera to Leah so she would stop whining about wanting to go home. She took this picture ... I love it! to me ... this is the balancing act that mother's go through ... this is me ... balancing mommyhood and fantasy football<br />

I even took random pictures of clouds just to see if one of them may look like a heart. This is the best I got ... and you have to use your imagination a bit for it ... see, it looks like the top of a heart, and the bottom is hidden behind the building. Uh huh ... that's my story and I stinking to it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

This is how I felt when I looked at this picture later, so I'm sharing it as part of 3 Boybarians Sweet Shot Tuesday. <br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also, I'm really excited to join Madeline Bea Photography and her wonderful follower in starting the <a href="http://madelinebea.com/blog/365-days-a-photographic-journey/">365 Journey</a> ... or taking a picture once a day for an entire year. I see this as not only a way to grow, but as a way to find beauty in every day. So, with the August Photo Hunt coming to a close today (I'll be posting them tomorrow), I have loved challenging myself to grow in that way. I look back at the June Photo Hunt and I can see my pictures improve! I can not wait to see how well my skills improve over an entire year of challenges!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.chattingatthesky.com/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="tuesdays unwrapped at cats" height="125" src="http://www.chattingatthesky.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/tues2603.png" title="tuesdays unwrapped at cats" width="260" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have been a bit down lately, so I'm really excited about seeing the small things ... the beauty ... in all days, even the crappy ones <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><s>where you have an fussing argument on the phone with your husband while sitting in the break room</s></span> ... everyday has a bit of beauty in it</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have a flickr page, and I will post my daily photos there with probably a weekly sharing of photos here, but I would really love to learn how to use a flickr page to the fullest. Do you just join groups and comment on other peoples' pictures, kinda like blogging? Can't wait to learn more!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWPwXbrFzrE4pbxkcmAavpAMb7zRq_ZovPmFk5cjtoo306G5NcDOqmSL-81-4zIF6FemVxPfcNoY1recqlL8O1KYg5V8pX7A_PDIF0s8GOejtafDUExxQ-4-ISgm9iAzJqLloFIGGLOwLv/s1600/name2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWPwXbrFzrE4pbxkcmAavpAMb7zRq_ZovPmFk5cjtoo306G5NcDOqmSL-81-4zIF6FemVxPfcNoY1recqlL8O1KYg5V8pX7A_PDIF0s8GOejtafDUExxQ-4-ISgm9iAzJqLloFIGGLOwLv/s320/name2.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="border-bottom-color: windowtext; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 1pt; border-left-color: windowtext; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 1pt; border-right-color: windowtext; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 1pt; border-top-color: windowtext; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 1pt; color: #6b3000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 0in; padding-left: 0in; padding-right: 0in; padding-top: 0in;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="border-bottom-color: windowtext; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 1pt; border-left-color: windowtext; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 1pt; border-right-color: windowtext; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 1pt; border-top-color: windowtext; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 1pt; color: #6b3000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; padding-bottom: 0in; padding-left: 0in; padding-right: 0in; padding-top: 0in;"></span></div>Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11190148251096131674noreply@blogger.com10
