Scavenger Hunt Sunday {10.02.11}

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

Inspired by a Book or Movie

Jurassic Park anyone? We went to a BBQ Fundraiser yesterday with my parents, my sister and her two daughters. Dustyn wanted a dinosaur. Every kept calling it an alligator though.

MM3

Brown

I have been playing with HDR processing. It is so fun. I edited this using some Lightroom Presets. This was where my photo shoot took place on Friday.

Photography love...  

Hazy

From my shoot on Friday. I have added a bunch to my photography page on Facebook.  Can you see the rings? I had that great idea but they kind of blend with the sand…

Coffee or Tea

I have a couple secrets to tell you about this photo. One it was taken with my iPhone and two it doesn’t actually have coffee in it. I don’t like the taste of coffee. Surprising? I really wish I did. Cause I could use the boost. This is the Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino no coffee from Starbucks.

Sunday Snapshot

Linger

Carsyn could have lingered all day on this pony. He had so much fun sitting on it. This was at the BBQ yesterday. Dustyn rode a big horse. More photos from that day coming soon.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
