Lonesome Poppy


I don't have much to say about these, so I'll let them do the talking

Blushing of Autumn



Blushing-of-Autumn

This is actually a photo from spring.
It has been sitting in a folder waiting to be processed...I just couldn't get the right feel for it until a few days ago.

I'm really happy with how it turned out and the fact that I had enough patience to wait three months to edit it!

And just for fun, here it is using my Vintage Polaroid set.

Scavenger Hunt - Last Minute Hunt


This week flew by...much like the entire summer and this entire year.
So yesterday morning I was scrambling to think of an idea for each prompt and then put it into action!
Lucky for me, things just kind of happened to fall into place.


1. Looks Like a Letter of the Alphabet: "G"
letter-g




2. Weather
This one's from the dusty archives. It's from a year ago and one which I thought had been deleted until I came across it a few days ago! I was pretty excited to find it, but completely disappointed to see that from a technical standpoint it's terrible. I really had to boost the exposure in post processing to show off that amazingly awesome sky...which consequently led to those hideous red and blue lines. At the time I didn't know that my camera even had the bulb mode nor did I realize that I should have been using it. ...just further proof to read your camera's manual. ;)

3. Bling
I must admit, I'm not a bling kind of girl. So for this prompt I turned to my kids and their dress up gear.
{My son's going to love this one when he's older! haha!}

4. Tangled
Hours at the pool + a nap immediately after = a tangled mess.

5. Dark
I am really loving all those 'through the doorway' shots that are popping up everywhere.
...so I copied it...

I made an Instagram-for-PSE frame/action set!

A Surprise View


Approaching-CC

This one might be a stretch for a sunset - it was about 8pm, so the sun was technically on it's downward decent...

Anyway, this was the view we had as we neared the small and rather quaint town where my in-laws live. I took this out the dirty car window, going 70mph. It was a pleasant surprise to see this shot when I brought it up on my computer. I love the silhouette of the silo and the one lone bird sitting on the power lines, as well as the subtle rays of sunlight.

Some Kind of Wonderful

Rosie? I'm looking at you! :)

2. Flower's Point of View

3. Natural Frame
Just past this soy bean field lies my old high school in the super tiny town of Alleman, Iowa.
It can be easily identified from miles away thanks to the disturbingly high quantity of very large radio and television towers...one of five is seen here!

4. Letters
oh-hello


5. Bliss
One homemade Rice Krispies treat + ten newly painted fingernails = a blissfully happy little girl!
