WHAT IS IN THE AIR......

"FALL"

We have had several Fall like days lately and while taking a stroll on our property I noticed our Dogwood trees are full of berries.

I love when the seasons go into a transition....God's wonderful way of painting us beautiful pictures. I always get excited about the new refreshed colors to "Capture" beautiful images.

 

It's Friday.......our short day at work....boy am I glad!

Birthday party tomorrow.......I have the cake fondant made.....I have the 3 cake layers made......I have the Oreo Cookies crushed for the Chicken Pops......

As soon as I get in from work the FUN begins.....assembling the cake and decorating it, make the chicken pops and I still have to bake cupcakes......"NO STRESS HERE"!

Pics will come next week....hope everyone has a great & safe Labor Day weekend!

God Bless

 It's suppose to rain from today all the way through Saturday......I know we need the rain....I just hope it comes and goes before Saturday.......Party Day! Maybe we could all cross our fingers & toes and squeeze real hard it won't rain Saturday.....heeeeee, I just pictured us doing this!

Can you believe the "Holiday Season" is already upon us again.....and I was hoping for some "slow time"......wishful thinking! Honestly this time of the year energizes me so bring it on!

I had a little help shooting this barn!

I went and stayed with our 2 grandsons for a couple of days and we went for a ride looking for barns. On the way back to the house we spotted this one. 

Kelby our almost 10yr old grandson asked if he could shoot it for me.....sure I said, I knew he would do a great job. I started teaching him when he was about 3 yrs old on how to use a camera and bought him his first real digital camera for his 5th birthday.

And of course he could not resist shooting the hay sitting in front of the fence.....

I am very proud of our grandson for doing such a wonderful job!

We had a great time and it was fun having them along spotting things for me to shoot.

Have a great and blessed week!

God Bless

Remembering my Dad......he would have been 90 yrs young today but on December 26, 2001....God needed another angel....

My Dad, on the left, in his earlier years with a friend.

My Dad with my oldest brother whom also went to be with our Heavenly Father July 1999, he was 48 yrs young. 

 I do miss them both very much!

My Dad was a very hard working man....never wasted anything. He loved the land (guess that is where I get it) he loved gardening, his family and reading his Bible.

He took his last breath where he loved to be the most....he was outside surrounded by the great land that was created by our Heavenly Father.

God Bless

A special kind of beauty......

Our oldest grandson who is almost 10 grows these just about every year.......I do think he has a green thumb!

They remind me of something I am always telling our 2 grandsons....... 

"You are the sunshine in my life"!

I spent the weekend with the boys and I watched these flowers and shot them at different times during the day. Sunday morning I was up before the sun came up and I went out to check them and they looked as though they were asleep....I did not dare disturb them....their heads held down just waiting for the sun to wake them.

About 30 minutes later as the sun was coming up I check on them again....they were just starting to wake up...heads lifting just a bit. 

It wasn't long the sun was shining so full and bright the sunflowers raised their heads and looked as though they were standing straight and tall like a soldier. So strong  but yet so graceful!

Can you believe all this beauty came out of this........

Believe me I could have kicked myself for not taking photos of their awakening....oh well I will know better next time.

Have a wonderful and blessed week!

God Bless

I am on a "Hunt"

for a new Camera Lens 

Which one to buy is the question!

I have a Nikon D60 and have a Nikon 18-135mm lens that I use. I am looking to buy a 70-300mm lens.....should I buy the......
 Nikon

Internet image

Sigma

Internet Image

Tamron

 The Nikon of  course is the most expensive but they are top quality and tough made lenses. I have heard the Sigma is better than the Tamron and vice-versa.

My dear sweet hubby has been doing a lot of research on all of these and we are still confused.

There are so many pros & cons on all of them. Some say go with the f/2.8 and some say the f/4-5.6. You also have the G and the ED...some say the G does not have the optical quality that the ED has, then some say there is not much difference. 

You can see why we are confused so that is why I am asking for HELP!

 

I would love some input on these lenses from my great friends in blog-land!

We received these hats  from our local Farm Bureau when I donated to support Breast Cancer Awareness.

 Love my mom...she will be 79 yrs young this December.

Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend!

Today is National Book Lover's Day

Of course my #1 Book is the Holy Bible...

I am writing this post while at work....shame on me.....but I am at a slow time right now but not for long. I just don't like to sit and not do something so here I am blogging. This is why I borrowed images from Amazon...hope it's ok to do this....oh well it's done now.

There are so many other books I enjoy reading....

but

here are a few of my favorites.......this don't count my favorite magazines....just books.

I love reading about the work of

Ansel Adams...one of the greatest photographers of all times!

I love reading about the Life of the Amish.....I have several of these books at home and have read some of them more than once. There are so many more great books on Amazon about their lives. One of my favorite authors that write about the Amish is Beverly Lewis.



I need to get to a place to make more time for reading, working full time and working on my photography as much as possible and family time, there is just not enough hours in the day.

Do you have favorite books...I would love for you to share them with us!



God Bless

Birthday Wishes From Everywhere....

Yes...today is my birthday....and  birthday wishes are flowing in from friends and family.....whom I am very thankful for.
I do miss the ones that have already gone on to be with our Heavenly Father...someday we will be together again.

A New Month.......

Can't wait to see what August brings us in the world of photography.....

grab your camera shoot & share

My heart was saddened when I spotted this, actually my hubby spotted this. I thought about the family, how they lost everything....hoping and praying they did not loose their lives.

I could not believe it but not far from the one above.....we found another one....much older bricks in this one. I wish I could have gotten the front of it but there were too many weeds and bushes.

 Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe day.......Happy August!

God Bless
