</div><div style="text-align: center;">What is it about photography that fills that something in<br />
my soul that makes me want to carry my camera everywhere.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Is it to capture moments of family and love ones to</div><div style="text-align: center;">look back on and remember. I do take those types</div><div style="text-align: center;">of photos but it is not my passion. Sad to say I notice that</div><div style="text-align: center;">at most family function I don't even pull out my camera.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Is it to remember a special place I traveled?</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well this is a little more of what a like to photograph.</div><div style="text-align: center;">When I travel I love take photos of things that are</div><div style="text-align: center;">not Iconic symbols of my trip. </div><div style="text-align: center;">For example when I go to the beach my favorite</div><div style="text-align: center;">photos to take are close up of Birds that could be from </div><div style="text-align: center;">any beach. These type photos don't say which beach I have been to!</div><div style="text-align: center;">But then again I remember where I took the shot!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have to say for me it is the beauty I see!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love to take macro shots of flowers and birds</div><div style="text-align: center;">and my cats when they let me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Of course I would love to expand on what I like </div><div style="text-align: center;">to photograph. I keep telling my self I would like to </div><div style="text-align: center;">take better Landscape type shots. But they </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">definitively</span> don't come natural to me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are the type of shots I love to take!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So that is why I carry my camera cause you</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">never know when your walking into Target and you</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">see a bee on a flower out in the parking lot.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yes that has happened to me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And I love that shot.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Well yesterday I went to a class and</div><div style="text-align: center;">that is what happened.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NkaXGTj6eM4/TmcKQxI52AI/AAAAAAAAGBg/Ngg5SkcsKEM/s1600/IMG_3478.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="470" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NkaXGTj6eM4/TmcKQxI52AI/AAAAAAAAGBg/Ngg5SkcsKEM/s640/IMG_3478.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They wanted us to stop and think about what type of person we really</div><div style="text-align: center;">are.. Do you see the glass as half full... Or half empty...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HrhapAQG8O8/TmeV8yU9W9I/AAAAAAAAGBw/rM8lNv08OVo/s1600/IMG_3561.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="434" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HrhapAQG8O8/TmeV8yU9W9I/AAAAAAAAGBw/rM8lNv08OVo/s640/IMG_3561.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Do you see the beauty in the little things. Or are you to busy to stop</div><div style="text-align: center;">and take notice.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CjnmIw_kXYQ/TmcKzX14ttI/AAAAAAAAGBk/BkxSHG3D3OY/s1600/IMG_3539.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="492" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CjnmIw_kXYQ/TmcKzX14ttI/AAAAAAAAGBk/BkxSHG3D3OY/s640/IMG_3539.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For me I know exactly what type of person I am..</div><div style="text-align: center;">(for the most part) That glass is half FULL..</div><div style="text-align: center;">I always try to try to find the good in everything. I try to</div><div style="text-align: center;">believe that things happen for a reason. But I am human and </div><div style="text-align: center;">I am not always this wonderful person my cats think I am. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I have so many short falls. That if I listened to that little voice telling</div><div style="text-align: center;">me I'm not good enough, I would really be depressed. </div><div style="text-align: center;">And believe me sometimes I am!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AWZyjNQ-X2c/TmcRbhoCLlI/AAAAAAAAGBs/1HdQ4gCxTvA/s1600/036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="604" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AWZyjNQ-X2c/TmcRbhoCLlI/AAAAAAAAGBs/1HdQ4gCxTvA/s640/036.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I guess I will keep on with the positive renforcment</div><div style="text-align: center;">And keep telling my self you can do it.. What ever it is!!<br />
And try really hard not to whine about it.<br />
Nobody likes a crybaby..<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(even though that is my nickname from when I was little)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Yep, I was one of those..</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I remember I had a photo I had found awhile ago</div><div style="text-align: center;"> and I just loved it..</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L2bw65DVsCg/TmcMxCCkb6I/AAAAAAAAGBo/kyt-RgCTnOs/s1600/life+quote.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L2bw65DVsCg/TmcMxCCkb6I/AAAAAAAAGBo/kyt-RgCTnOs/s640/life+quote.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well that about says it all.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I just love this. The site I got it from said it was from an unknown source.. </div><div style="text-align: center;">If this photo belongs to you I will gladly give you credit.. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It is awesome..<br />
<br />
So I just want to thank you so much for listening to me and<br />
taking a peek at some of my photo's, I really do appreciate all your sweet comments.<br />
<br />

Not an easy task cause it so darn HOT.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yes I am whining. When is fall going to get here?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway back to my story.. I was busy trimming some bushes and something</div><div style="text-align: center;">Very Big Jump out at me.

This has been such a nice weekend.<br />
I got a lot done around the house. Had some FUN in my craft room.<br />
Got to enjoy a couple of movies with my better-half.<br />
Yep, I must say for me it has been an all around good weekend so far.<br />
<br />
I am hoping and praying that most of the folks on the<br />
East Coast can say they are safe and sound. I am watching the news while<br />
I am writing this and it looks like New York is shut down.<br />
Such scary stuff going on! My prayers go out to you!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
I am back with Ashley's Scavenger Hunt.<br />
Another tough week. Is it me or are these prompts getting<br />
tougher and tougher? Oh well that's what makes it a good challenge.<br />

called Lake Las Vegas. One of the radio stations was having a promotion<br />

I am finally getting around to playing<br />
Ashley's Scavenger Hunt.<br />
<br />
I really didn't think I would get enough time but YEA!!<br />
I did..<br />
<br />
So hear we go..<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Geometry<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xoz_-jIyrQc/TlHciJR5NDI/AAAAAAAAF7E/kURZJvEuK4g/s1600/013-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xoz_-jIyrQc/TlHciJR5NDI/AAAAAAAAF7E/kURZJvEuK4g/s640/013-1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dB_NIMYJeJs/TlHd_T0JESI/AAAAAAAAF7M/3hBkHB-nLoU/s1600/010-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dB_NIMYJeJs/TlHd_T0JESI/AAAAAAAAF7M/3hBkHB-nLoU/s640/010-1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
I really don't even know if these qualify as geometry But<br />
that's the only thing I could come up with..<br />
The first shot was taken at one of the hotels down on the Las Vegas strip.<br />
That second shot is just a photo of a plant from my back yard,<br />
And I played around with it in picnik, I think it looks kinda cool..<br />
<br />

I really do need to get a life.. Hee Hee.. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Not the best shot. I should have spent more time..</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">The shot was alright but it just needed something.. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Maybe something like a real cool sunset while it was landing..</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

So I thought I would layer them in Photoshop..<br />
<br />
And this is what I got.. Not too shabby.. Kinda cool..<br />
Now I know some of you out there are experts at Photoshop.<br />
So what would you have done different..<br />
<br />
I am definitely going back out to the airport and try to get some<br />
better shots.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look..<br />
I do appreciate it so much..</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: CENTER;"></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06052655796247020555noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4103326517176108131.post-50301360314661569462011-07-31T07:23:00.000-07:002011-07-31T07:23:49.629-07:00Scavenger Hunt Sunday...<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><br />

I have had a great week. Visiting with friends. Playing in my craft room<br />
Loving Life..<br />
<br />
I ran across a blog called <a href="http://hisbooboos.blogspot.com/2011/07/favorite-friday-ff-winner.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Skinned Knees</span></a>. And she is the host of<br />
Favorite Friday .. So I thought I would join in.<br />
<br />
<br />
Day #334<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FFLmWZY0y20/TjMIAGalrmI/AAAAAAAAFjE/SOklTmb_VjQ/s1600/091.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="428" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FFLmWZY0y20/TjMIAGalrmI/AAAAAAAAFjE/SOklTmb_VjQ/s640/091.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
So you pick out your favorite photo for the week and post it on your<br />
blog and say why it's your favorite photo.<br />
<br />
Well my favorite is a toss up between the photo above or the one below.<br />
<br />
I got up early one morning and took a little hike<br />
over at a trail system called the Wetlands. It's here in Henderson.<br />
I was the only one out there.. No one else crazy enough to hike in this<br />
heat. It was pretty breezy out so most of my shot didn't turn out to great.<br />
But it was very peaceful and I am definitely going back when it's not so hot.. <br />
<br />

<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So if only we lived a little closer I would love to invite<br />
you over to join me for a cup of coffee or tea.. Which ever you prefer.<br />
And then I would ask you how your</div><div style="text-align: center;">weekend went.. And I would sit and listen cause<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I would tell you it is so hard to leave a job that I love and have been doing for </div><div style="text-align: center;">7 years. Of course you would know I am a preschool teacher.. And you would<br />

<br />
I am feeling pretty darn lucky this morning for the simple life I have.<br />
I know not everyone likes the simple life. Some people love the fast pace,<br />
Hustle and bustle.. Making 100 decisions a minute. I am definitely not wired that way.. <br />
How about you..<br />
Do you live the simple life?<br />
Or do you love a day full of challenges..<br />
Or maybe your somewhere in between..<br />
