Portraits...and sorry i'm a slacker!

Ok so I'm a slacker this summer I'll admit it! But I love summer and I love getting out and enjoying the sun so i have kinda put the shutter bugs on hold and I'm truly sorry! i loved the photos that have been sent they are amazing!



These first three are from me just some pictures of family...they got to be my models! this first one I need to crop it would make it a lot better however I haven't put much time into my pics =(

These are some amazing photos from Erin! She does such a good job! Sorry i didn't add all of them Erin but they where all amazing i had a hard time picking and I'll try and get the rest of them posted soon.

This one is my favorite!

Last but not least is this fantastic shot by Ashely! Maddy is so stinking cute!

Thanks guys and the next one lets go ahead and do landscape! I'll give ya plenty of time to do this one too so no worries on the two week thing just send them in when you get a chance I'll try and do better this time tho =)

New assingment!

Sorry about being slow in posting the next assignment (life feels like it's been crazy busy the last little while). Anyhow here is the next assignment........

Portraits

Should be pretty easy shmeasy since most of us take a million pictures of people anyways! Have fun!

Here are some spring picture that was sent in along with some of my own! Thanks guys i love them all! Spring is my favorite time of year all the new life springing up from the ground and you have captured it so well!

The first few are from me! I love the first one because i think it really interprets spring. It's a lone tulip under a dead tree from winter. I find it amusing that it found it's way out of the ground all by itself and brought beauty in such an ugly place.

These next picture where sent in by Erin. They are gorgeous (they always are)!

This next set came from Heather and they are so cute!

What's better than a dandy lion in one hand and a Popsicle in the other?

Having a little friend to go with them! I love this field it's full of what we consider weeds but it is so full of color!

Once again some amazing pictures! Thank you guys and if anyone else wants to send some in feel free I'll still post them and if anyone has any ideas for next assignment feel free to let me know I'm up for any ideas! I'll be posting the next assignment in a couple of days!

No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. ~Proverb

And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.

~Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Sensitive Plant"


Spring is the next assignment! I've said it in the shadow blogs but i'll just say it again spring is what we are working on next! Just thought I'd make it official! Have fun and enjoy this beautiful weather!

Captured Shadows

This pic was when we were letting the kids play outside.

This pic was Heathers idea and it turned out pretty cool Bridger loved being upside down for it!

This picture is from Erica her little girl is so cute! She is just learning about her shadow...this reminds me so much of peterpan!

I love love love this picture Erin! It's perfect for a cowboy out in the sun!

This is a picture that I took out on a walk this is the shadow from the clouds.

Thank you again galls! and for the next assignment start thinking but it's going to be about shapes! What interesting shapes can you find that would make a great picture?

Another pic for 1000 words!

Here is a picture that i missed and didn't get it put onto the 1000 word blog! I'm so sorry Erica my computer skills really need to catch up to the times lol! anyways i love the picture you sent me your little girl is so cute and just by looking at the picture you can see so much excitement over something so simple as a pine cone! Thank you for the pic and I'm so excited to see what everyone comes up with for the shadows!
