Memorial Weekend in KY

Our family went to visit Granny and Papa for a lovely weekend ^_^ 

The neighbor had adorable baby bunnies!

look at that fluffy cuteness!

Practice!

A few portraits with Granny :)

Thanksgiving 2012

We made the trip down to Granny and Papa's house for our annual Thanksgiving get-together!

Ready to eat!

I went outside to practice photography.  O'Mally helped.

Poor Toby.  He's been sick and was looking a little sad :(  But he got turkey!

A few got excited about the car passing during our family portrait shoot -.-

Playing Farkle (the fives and ones are good!)

The Farkle Heads

Final score!

Granny had some old milk. So, naturally . . .

Buck

I was looking through some old pictures, and, finally, unearthed these pictures of our old horse, Buck.  *sigh* makes me miss him . . . and all horses, for that matter.

Isn't he gorgeous?!?!?!?!?!

This is us getting him :)

First glimpse of spring break!

Here are some pictures of our first few days at Granny's :D

Random Picture ^_^

Upon sifting through my files, I found this cute picture of Aly's feet.  I didn't like it before, for some reason, but I actually found that it wasn't too bad :)  By changing it to B&W and upping the contrast, it really made a difference in the photo!

Photography

This afternoon I took the camera outside to practice my photography skills. I wanted to play with aperture...though I'm really not sure it worked. I decided in the end to play with a few on Photoshop and edit them...because I like to do that :)

Here is a lamp on he side of the house. It was one of the last pictures I took today, and kind of a random shot. Still, I toned down the saturation and upped the contrast. I think it looks kind of cool...

Here is an old bench. I lowered the saturation on this as well, trying to give it the sepia look.

Here is a thermometer. It's finally getting warm here! Photography wise; I was still playing with aperture . I wanted it to focus on the "80". It was a bit dark, but it did what I wanted it to, in essence.

And the animals :)

This is a picture of Toby. I wanted his eyes. He is so sweet.

And O'mally. He was not being cooperative. I edited his picture too (taking a plant off his nose, sharpening his face, upping the contrast...etc.) He's really cute ;)

And the Frog. Pascall by name :)

Not pictured: the fourtyish other pictures of "frog sitting still" - "frog gone" - repeat process.

Here is Pascall on Aly's shoulder :D

That is all I shall post currently. I have more flower pictures which may show up later :)

Spring Break

For Spring Break this year my sister and I packed and headed to our grandparents house! I was allowed to take the Cannon with me (the camera, not the kind that goes on a Pirate Ship) and have taken a few pictures. Well...maybe more than a few, but since there are less than a hundred, I think "few" is a decent term for my average amount ;) It's a good time to practice my photography! Still, I ended up shooting several over exposed (several in this sense meaning about ten. ~ Few=hundred; Several=ten. Aren't you getting this?) I have a few fun pictures as well. Don't worry, I'm not posting them all, but I thought I'd post some at least :)

This is Toby. I had to get at least one of him in here *grin*

This is O'mally and Papa. O'mally wanted inside. Papa could care less, or so it would seem. *wink*

Aly's latest fascination: tadpoles and frogs. Here are some of the tadpoles we found in the creak. She caught a frog today, but I have yet to get a picture. I shall eventually.

Three very pretty flowers! I've been practicing shooting on "manual" some, but I don't remember which ones were and which ones were not. I believe the last one was shot on manual, but the other two were not. Rather annoying that I can't keep up with my own setting.

And this is the same flower I showed first, only edited. I just kind of played with the background and then edited the flower itself a bit. Just playing with Photoshop tools. :)

All for now!
