It’s time for the Love Your Shot! | Link-Up over at Love that Shot! Come on over and share your favorite photo you took this week and tell us a little about how you took it or how you processed it.
Monday night, our little family went over to the park to play a fun game of Plants vs. Zombies! It’s quite a fun little game, especially for the little girls. It’s based off of a computer game that Aaron likes to play, and now Autumn likes to play it too. She came up with the idea of playing it out in real life over at the park! The object of the game is kill the zombies before they get you and eat your brains. Your weapons are vegetables and plants. My favorite is the pea shooters! We used balls and threw them at the “zombies.”
So on our way home, we spot this pretty little tree with these cute little seeds hanging from them. Autumn and Summer say they are their peas for their pea shooters! I had to take some pictures of them and was snapping away until Aaron told me to come over to where he was and look straight up. So I did and this is what I saw. Beautiful bokeh sparkles smiling at me! My tip is to look up. You might be surprised at what you find!
And here is a photo of the game in action! The girls LOVED it!
Dandelions are so pretty. Aaron hates them, especially when they make their homes in our grass. But I have to say, they are beautiful. And to two little girls, they are full of magic.

Can it get any more perfect? I was out last Saturday evening with my sister shooting a photography video, and the park was full of lilac blossoms. The smell was just so sweet, I could have stayed there forever! In between some takes while shooting, I shot some flowers. The light was amazing. And the sunflare… oh my! This is as close to perfection as possible!

Last week was a pretty nice week for taking pictures! It just flew by and I missed a couple of days, but oh well!
I found this huge clover in a patch of weeds in my yard. It was like a gaint compared to the rest of them! Taken with my 50mm lens: f/1.4; 1/640 sec.; ISO-100.
Some of my beautiful lilacs. I wish you could smell them… their fragrance is heavenly! Taken with my 50mm lens: f/1.4; 1/125 sec.; ISO-100.
This is in the parking lot of Albertson’s! I was in the car waiting for Aaron when I noticed the gorgeous sunset. One of the lucky few times I had my camera with me! (No, I don’t carry my camera with me wherever I go! I wish I was one of those people, but seriously… life, with two little girls, happens and I don’t always remember to bring it!)

Saturday my sister, Misti, and I went to the park to shoot a new photography video for our website, OpenScrapbook. (It will be coming very soon! Keep your eyes out for it! ) There were geese everywhere! We saw this momma and her babies coming out of the pond. I caught this little guy shaking off the water!

Sunday we drove out to Aaron’s parents house for Mother’s Day. On the way I noticed the beautiful sunset and the gorgeous light it was throwing everywhere! All the plants were just glowing! I asked Aaron if would mind stopping so I could snap a few pictures. (To many of you, that would be no big deal! But for me, it is! I never ask to stop anywhere to take pictures…I always plan trips to go shoot. But I’m trying to be more spontaneous so I don’t miss anymore great photos!)
