Scavenger Hunt Sunday | 03.18.12

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: scavenger hunt sunday

Hello friends. We have been busy enjoying this nice weather. I have also been doing some spring cleaning and selling some items. I love when I can clean stuff out and make a little money back. I still have sooo much stuff to get rid of. We are selling our 55 gallon fish tank this week and my cousin is coming to paint our dining room. I will be busy prepping that today. There are some holes in the wall I need to fill and stuff that needs to be moved out of the way. I also have to go pick out paint. eeekkk! I really want to paint the living room too but I think it would just be too much right now. Both the living room and dining room are a dark burgundy. I am looking forward to having something more bright and to break the two rooms up a little bit.

Anyways here are my interpretations this week. 

Vintage

I loved this shot of Dustyn. I used Pioneer Woman’s Old West action on it. It sort of looks vintagey. You can see a real vintage edit with this weeks Tutorial Tuesday. Don’t forget to link up.

Word Quote

Spring is here and the trees are awakening. Yay for green leaves.

Natures Own

I just love how dainty this is. You can find the most beautiful stuff in nature.

People

My three favorite people here on earth. These are three different silhouette shots then I shared last Monday. I know I still need to practice but I am in love with the moments I captured.

Photographer’s Choice

I am quite proud of this shot. No, it is not anywhere near perfect, but I did shoot it while the bee was flying with my 35mm lens manual focus. I really need to work on my manual focusing.

Linking up with Scavenger Hunt Sunday, Simple Things, Sunday Snapshot, Macro Monday, and then she snapped

Annie has been struggling lately with feeling angry. I’m hoping this will help and we can figure out how to best help her when she is upset. The books are super cute and have affirmations at the end.
