Reflections of a Lite Brite

Today's challenge "Around the House" - Architectural designs, cool angles or interesting perspective. The kids were playing with the Lite Brite and forgot to turn it off. I was walking around the house with my thinking cap on, camera ready and this is what caught my eye. Not sure if this qualifies in the challenge but I thought it was interesting!

A couple of cuties

I took the kids out sledding yesterday. I took a ton of pictures, here are a few of the ones I like.

Sunset

The sky was so breathtaking last night, I had to snap a few pictures so I could remember that when it is winter and 10 degrees, Wisconsin is still a great place to live!

Life's sweetest moments

A sweet moment frozen in a photograph. It's the little things that keep me loving what I do. Hug your little ones and your big ones too. Take a picture to remember that sweet moment forever!

Today's Challenge

The photography forum that I play around in has a photo challenge everday. Today's challenge was "Something in the Bathroom" and this is what I came up with. I was going for my relection in the droplet of water, it didn't really turn out that way. If you enlarge this pic you can see me, I'm just not in focus. I'm inspired to continue practicing this technique and would love any tips on how to do this!

Happy Valentine's Day

This is just a snapshot (not technically correct) of the finished Valentine's Day cards that the kids passed out at school today. Unfortunately I didn't get these finished in time to get them out in the mail. But keep watching your mailboxes as they are on their way. We've gotten a ton of compliments on them so far. Now that I've done them once, and learned a thing or two, next year should be a breeze!
Love to you all!

It's official......I look like I know what I'm doing!

I had the privilege of attending a photography get together about a week ago. It was fun, full of tips and tricks, and allowed for us to practice taking pics of each other. I would like to thank Brenda Eckhardt for taking mine, finally a photo of me I actually like! We are planning another get together this spring and including our kids. I know there will be lots of great photos taken that I will post, so check back often.
