Friday Fun

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: instagram

We have been having a TON of rain lately. Which is good for our newly planted grass bad for trying to get our yard cleaned up. We are still trying to clean up the chicken coop mess. Rain does make for beautiful pictures thought.

  Favorite Fridays at Skinned Knees         the hollie rogue      Captivus Living 

Blogging from Bolivia     Give me your best shot at Better in Bulk       PhotoStory Friday

My iPhone photos. Some things you may see below in random order: Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino, Yumm!, Crockpot Lasagna, leaves, mushrooms, yard clean up, Dustyn helping with yard clean up, new grass growing, hanging outside with my boys, Carsyn playing the keyboard, coast guard plane, sunset, driving down my road, I tried to cut grass but lawnmower broke down half way, some of my favorite places from my hometown, lunch with friends.

I say this each week but hopefully next week I will be more organized.

One last thing. Remember this photo? I am giving away a $25 Shop Credit to Starlit Nest, the maker of the banner, over on She {hearts} It  today. Make sure you head over there and enter to win.

    I seriously love the very last photo of the street. It's great which app are you using lately? How do you like the new interface for instagram?? I don't like it so much... hard for me to get around the change, I suppose.. *makes face*. Oh and what app are you using for the photo organizing?? I am really loving this ornate frame thing!
