Photo Challenge Fun

Yay for Monday pictures and photo challenges!

Paper Mama's theme is In the Sun.

Leah playing in the sun!

Color Splash Sunday with Amy is Your Choice this week!  I chose to color my Wild Apple toes!

Mono Monday with Alysha  aka Supermom the theme is Happy!

These faces make me happy!

This is my wedding dried wedding bouquet ... just having fun with my camera!

I see the Moon

I was afraid that my moon picture would be crappy...because all I have is a point and shoot camera, although it is a pretty good one ... but still, no tripod and no super cool lens.  But here is the good moon picture (out of like 20 where 19 look like blurry balls in the sky)

When I think of the moon I think of the song my mom sang to me, and the song I sing to Leah:

"I see the moon / the moon sees me / the moon sees the one / that I want to see / God bless the moon / and God bless me / and God bless the one I want to see.

I believe that God above / created you / for me to love. / He picked you out / from all the rest / because He knew / I love you best.

I once had a heart / as good as new / and now it's gone / from me to you / take good care / as I have done / as you have two / and I have none."

Mono Mommy's day

The theme for this mono-Monday is Mother's day.  Audrey was wearing a shirt that said "Mommy's girl" and I've been wanting to experiment with different ideas that I have seen in bloggy world ... and ... I ended up with this.  I'm claiming creative freedom b/c I have some color, lol!

Mono Monday

Today's theme is Mother Nature, and oh boy have we had our deal of Mother Nature this weekend.  Mother Nature decided to bring us a flood without telling Noah to build an ark yet.


I love taking pictures of Nature.  Normally I'd show you a picture like this:

Or maybe I would feature a duck I saw at the zoo:

but today I really want to show you what mother nature does when she gets pissed ... or just really sad:

I took this picture of my tv when they were showing pictures of the flood.  This is I-24 at my exit.  Yup, you heard me ... the exit I get off at every day.  Less than a mile from my house.  On an interstate.  It has been cleared off ... I drove it to work this morning.  We are safe and dry, but so many people are not.  If you can, please give to Red Cross to help the millions of people who have lost so much.  I'm going to try to volunteer ... I hope I can.

YOU

Supermom is hosting a new photo challenge called Mono Monday.  She has the cutest little button!

There are themes for each week, and for this week (first week) the theme is you!  I'm totally stealing a picture and making it b&w, but it was on my other blog and not very many people say that post.  And its my favorite me picture...because being a mom is me!
