Weekly Photo Challenge - "Framing"

I thought of all types of different shoots I could do, but I never go around to doing them...the story of my life. Then I saw this tree that had all sorts of beautiful fall colors, and thought it would work perfectly for this time of season!

Weekly Photo Challenge - "Action"

This week's challenge was easy for me...I cheated...I used a photo I took a while ago, but I loved it, and it so fit with this week's theme! I know, I am a slacker...but I am also 8-1/2 months pregnant too. So here is my photo!

Weekly Photo Challenge - "Bulb"

OK, so I love these long exposure photo challenges, they teach me a lot and they are so fun! There is just so many things you can do, and yet, I never do them...HA!

Oh well, I had fun with my laser light with this one, sorry it is a day late...I am a procrastinator!

Weekly Photo Challenge - "Painting with Light"

I loved this week's challenge, although my photo wasn't what I planned. It was still way fun, and I learned a lot! I did two different things with painting with light, and this one I just liked a little more.

Weekly Photo Challenge - "Over-Exposed"

I am such a procrastinator...I need to get better...I have been waiting to the last minute to do my photos...I need to just do them at the beginning, and get them over with for the week!

Anyways, this week I had two idea's...I wanted to do a funny one, but I couldn't get anyone to pose for me. I wanted to do a shoot of someone naked, getting over-exposed...LOL! BUT, they didn't want me to post it on my blog...SO, I choose my other idea! So here is my photo for this week!

Weekly Photo Challenge - "Food"

This week's challenge I had so many idea's, and just ran out of time to try and do them. We went camping over the weekend, and I really wanted to do a marshmallow getting roasted on the fire. That was tricky when the kids didn't have patience to wait for me to get my camera ready, and they didn't want to eat burnt marshmallows either. So after like 20 try's, I gave up, cause they were getting a really big sugar high! LOL...so last night I was rummaging through my pantry and thought of this shot.

Weekly Photo Challenge - "Doors"
