Love Your Shot! | Link-Up

by Michelle on September 2, 2010

in love that shot

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!

{ 103 } 365 – Protect

by Michelle on April 13, 2010

It’s been a rainy day again today and I got rained out in my backyard getting pictures! As I was running back into the house before my camera got soaked, I go past my burning bush and see this. It looks as if the taller branch is leaning over to protect the smaller one from the rain. It reminds me that we all need a little protection from our rainy days. For me today, it’s my vitamin c helping me while I’m sick. :)

Hmm… maybe I shouldn’t have been outside in the rain while I am sick! ;)

I think spring is the perfect time for macro shots! Everything is so tiny and new! I’ve included some before and after photos, I love to see start to finish results! It’s so interesting, so I thought I’d start posting some in case you guys like to see them too! :)

On the second photo, I used two of my Photo Veils: Northern Lights and Grass Stains. You can find my Photo Veils and lots of photography tutorials at my website OpenScrapbook!

66 { 365 } Signs of Spring!

So sorry for the lag in blog posts! I got a little overwhelmed with posting everyday on top of all my other responsibilities, so I’ve decided to post my 365 photos weekly instead of daily. I think that will free me up so I can create more great tutorials on products for you guys, as well as some more quality posts for my blog!

We are seeing some signs of spring! Our grass is starting to turn green and we’re getting some tiny buds on our trees and bushes! I can’t wait until my weeping cherry and lilac trees start to bloom! I love this time of year!
