Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I had fun taking pictures this week for the Scavenger Hunt and editing them!  I had no idea what High Key meant.  I actually thought for a second I would take a picture of the hidden key above the door to the attic and then as I was sitting on a chair reading my google reader yesterday on my iphone I came across this lovely header titled "High Key?!" Thank goodness I clicked on that app yesterday and learned something new from Faith.  I have been so busy lately that I rarely read my blogroll but thankfully yesterday I took a moment to do that!  Not sure if my photo does High Key any justice but I gave it a shot. :)

High Key

 Bedroom

My sweet daughter was watching TV on my bed yesterday.

 Something Tiny

I actually took this two weeks ago in Atlanta but just got to editing it.  We don't have pine cones here or at least not around my house.  Those were so cute and small.

Off in the Distance

I took my little man to the RR tracks on Friday and off he went.  I love the bridge in the background.

 Stripes

I don't normally take pictures of myself but wasn't coming up with anything for stripes.  I tried to take a picture of my camera strap but it was too close so I played around with taking a shot of myself.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

This week I decided to play around with textures on some of my photos.  I don't usually think to add texture and they're somewhat new to me so I thought I'd do a little practice on a few :).

DECAY

We built our house 2 1/2 years ago.  My husband planted this tree about two years ago and we just discovered it has male flying ants living inside the trunk.  We're hoping the pest control guys were able to kill them all and save our tree!

GROUP of 3

My daughter and I planted a strawberry plant and noticed three tiny strawberry buds growing.  She's so excited and hopeful she'll be able to eat them soon.

 KITCHEN

I got a new stainless steel pot and used it for the first time last night.  You can sort of see me in the pot.

 Things that make you go HMMMMM....

I think my 2 year old got the slinky all twisted....or was it the 5 year old?!?  Who invented the slinky and why?  They last for about a minute before they get twisted and then you spend more time trying to get them untwisted and once they're untwisted they're all stretched out and will never look the same.  I'm just saying!

ME TIME

Nothing too fancy.  I find myself sitting here a lot.  My husband travels so once I get the kids to bed I sit here every night.  Late.  Teaching myself how to edit and editing pictures.  I used to just read blog after blog.  At least now I using my brain I guess. :)

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I haven't done this in a while but we just got home from a trip and for some reason I'm feeling inspired despite my exhaustion!  Here are my interpretations for the week:

Chair

I finally was able to convince my husband into letting me get a set of chairs for our living room.  They were delivered the day before I threw a baby shower in January!  I love them!!

Camera phone

This was taken a few days ago while we were visiting my family in Atlanta.  My grandmother had a heart attack the morning we were arriving.  The kids weren't allowed into ICU but they finally allowed us in so here's my little guy playing with my iPhone in my grandpa's lap, showing him how it works. :)

Imperfection

We don't have pine trees like this in Dallas.  They were all over Atlanta.  I was trying to capture one with a sunburst.  It didn't quite work out.  Oh well!

 Shoes

My daughter got some new shoes for spring.  They are a little sparkly!  (Taken with iphone)

Camera

My D40 with my favorite lens 50 mm 1.4.  I also love my cute strap my friend gave me.
