For Thursday

Here is my submission for the Before and After Blog Hop at Pixel Perfect.

A Birthday Bash Cont.

This is a continuation of my previous post back on June 5th.  These are Livvy's cousins.  They are not my favorite pictures by any means.  Can't put my finger on what it is that I'm just not happy with.  I had to process the heck out of them since the SOOC shots weren't all that great to begin with.  I did a lot of cropping.  I wanted to post them anyway so that I could learn from them.  I recently posted different pictures of Livvy's cousins and am much happier with those results!  It's all good!

New Pics (Week 3) cont. again

A Wordless Wednesday

Can't think of a catchy post title...

Here is my submission for the Little Somethings Photo Challenge.  It was difficult to choose only one Fave Photo from June but here it is.  It's pretty simple, I know, but for some reason I just love it.  I think it looks great in this vintage frame and matches well with her sun hat!  You kind of wonder what she is looking down at. 

New Pics (Week 3 cont.)

I took about 500 pictures this past weekend and chose my favorites to share below.  It was a crazy weekend.  My husband and I took Livvy to Laconia, Weirs Beach, to see his family.  They have a summer place there.  I was so excited to get out of the house but more importantly for Livvy to get out of the house.  The rain had us inside for a good seven days and I'm pretty sure we were both going stir crazy!  Even Sunday, the day we chose to drive up North, wasn't all that great out.  It was very cloudy with only occasional breaks of sunshine.  We put our faith in these breaks of sunshine and decided to head up North anyway.  We arrived late morning and it was still cloudy and definitely not warm enough to take the kids down to the beach.  The water in the lakes region was always super cold even on a hot and humid day.  Since it wasn't raining we did, however, get to enjoy the outdoors and breath in the fresh air.  Our patience eventually took us into mid-afternoon where the sun began to shine through.  Not only did the sun come out but the temperature seemed to have changed drastically.  It went from being almost raw outside to heat and humidity and we found ourselves becoming hot and sticky.  The lake seemed like the perfect remedy.  Initially I didn't bring my camera down to the beach as I wanted to enjoy the water and not have to worry about it being stolen, getting wet, etc., but I couldn't let this opportunity pass.  I clicked away at almost everything, but mostly, of the hubby holding Livvy and just family in general!  Once the clicking started, I was unable to stop.  I took pictures of almost everything! 

I had to break this post into sections so that it didn't just seem like a bunch of randomness.

New Pics (Week 3)

Woo hoo I'm excited to share some new pictures!  I was out all weekend with the view finder glued to my eye.  Well, you would have thought it was glued.  I came out from behind it only when absolutely necessary which was to eat a watermelon twizzler and some of my mother-in-laws stuffed cabbage and in that order too!  My submission for Quotography Summer at {My} Perspective is below. 

Finally Friday!

This is my submission for the photo challenge at Project Alicia.  Can you guess the theme?  Nope it's not cute.  and it's not adorable.  It's not gorgeous.  Okay, okay it's YELLOW.
