Skywatch Friday

 

To achieve a sun burst make sure you have a narrow f/stop, like a 22 or the highest your lens can handle. A good way to think about this, if you squint towards a light source you will see a star burst. So the smaller opening in your lens the more star burst you will see.

and then, she {snapped}

Yay for fresh eggs. Dustyn actually ate eggs. He hadn’t had them in a while. He loved it.

Spring is here!

This is so neat looking. Anyone know if those are actual leaves?

    Very fun pictures! I can't wait to see more flower pics as spring goes on. I believe that the funky leaves is a maple tree. =)

Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. Th Carsyn’s first day of school a few days late. The teachers say he seems happy to be back. This would technically be his 8th grade but we will probably hold him back a few years in middle school before we move him up to high school. Of course they are “virtual” tomorrow and possibly Friday because of the hurricane/tropical storm. Then Labor Day on Monday. So he probably won’t be back again until Tuesday.
Dustyn started 10th grade on Monday! Only 2 more f Dustyn started 10th grade on Monday! Only 2 more first day of school photos to go. 😭

He committed to working out and bulking this Summer and made some huge gains. Swipe to see his last day of school photo in June. We are so proud of him.

Another one that needs a hair cut and he has been bugging me about it. 🤣 Didn’t really notice how long it was until I compared it to the other photo. Prestyn had a great year and has made some amazing friends. He can’t wait to start 2nd grade next year.

Carsyn went through a rough time at school, losing his best friend in the classroom, and losing one of his favorite teachers but he has done amazing adjusting.
