Loving Lately

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: Fall

Here are some of the things I have been loving lately. It is just the beginning of my favorite season and I am so excited. I can’t wait for more leaves to change colors and capture some amazing photos.

Cotton Candy Cookies

Loving Lately

These were made from a Betty Crocker package. They are sooo delicious and made my house smell amazing!! Dustyn approved.

If anyone wants to buy me this bracelet I will be your best friend! I just love the simplicity. It is gorgeous!

 

The rest of these photos are (gasp!) from my DSLR. I have not really been picking it up much to do personal photos. I have just been so busy this year with my photography business that I have mainly picked it up for that. It was nice to go on a little nature walk and take photos.

Having Fun with Bokeh and Leaves

For this photo I put a leaf in from of my lens and it created this beautiful yellow haze and make the bokeh in the shape of the top of the leaf. It was fun to experiment.

 What are you loving this fall? Are you joining me with my Fall Bucket List?

    GORGEOUS photos! And that cookie ... YUM! If only I were eating sugar. :) I love something about every season so I don't know that I actually have a favorite. I do love fall for the colors, pulling out the sweaters, the soup-eating weather, and the ability to bake without overheating the house. :)

    Great, all I want is a cookie now! lol

    I am loving that little branch; it reminds me of home in Minnesota. I wish we had Fall here. But sadly I only get to be excited that the lows are going to finally be below 80 next week!

    You are amazing with a camera! Holy smokes. Can you please come visit and teach me? Please? ;) I've been playing around with manual a lot lately, but am nowhere near close to taking pictures like that. And, I can agree with fall.. my favorite too. It's just beautiful, the crisp cool air, the pumpkins!

    Okay... so are you planning to do a post on those cookies soon? No fair teasing us with how good they are without explainin' how to do them! ;0)

    Gorgeous shots! I'm loving our morning glories...and have the photos to prove it. ;) We have a variety of colors of morning glories blooming in our backyard each morning. Especially glad to see them this year because I couldn't seem to grown anything else this summer. My WW post: http://cheekycocoabean.blogspot.com/2013/09/wordless-wednesday-morning-glories.html

Last but not least Annelyn. This girl hasn’t jus Last but not least Annelyn. This girl hasn’t just grown physically she has grown leaps and bounds in knowledge, social and emotional skills. She still has breakdowns now and then but has matured so much this year. On to Kindergarten!

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’s last day of school vs first day of scho Carsyn’s last day of school vs first day of school. He desperately needs a hair cut but I love the messy look. He’s grown so much this 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.

Root check on my Thai Constellation from @tropical Root check on my Thai Constellation from @tropicalplantsusa. I got it just after Valentine’s Day. I think it is time for a repot. I’m going to wait for the new leaf to harden up and then repot it. I have been super happy with the quality.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.
Sweet pea. Sweet pea.
Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶 It Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.
