Breaking all the rules....

I photograph Emma once a month. I think the upcoming holidays are going to completely blow that out of the water however. I beg your indulgence up front.

Yesterday I passed a little grouping of trees and shrubs while driving Emma to the sitters. I had told myself to stop and photograph it for over a week and kept putting it off. It's a perfect little rainbow with the orange leaves on top and some lime green coloring from bushes below and a layering of red bushes just below that. The landscaping is layed out so the colors appear to be in perfect horizontal layers. Yesterday I see the photograph in my head is not to be as the tree has shed all it's leaves.

I'm guessing there is only 2-3 weeks of really special photo ops out there as all the trees are going to be bare soon. So, I took Emma into the neighbor's lawn who has prettier color leaves than us. Wow, he has a bunch too..I'm guessing he'll be getting the Homeowner Nazi Association letter soon.

I'm sure your excited to know that not only are there crazy bows--but crazy hats as well that poor Emma will be forced to wear.

In the end though Emma decided to seek her fortune elsewhere and decided to run away. Of course after a cup of coffee and a long heartfelt discussion (and me buckling the belt on the stroller) she changed her mind and decided to come home with me.

FAIL....

Yep, I missed more than a couple days there huh??

My sis came into town and Tom had drill so it's been busy. I don't feel guilty. I blew the "one year" goal of posting every day. That's ok. I'm going to keep going and do what I can. The purpose of the posting was for me to be using the camera more--which I definitely am. So I see it as a success.

This weekend I took Sis and Emma to a place called Sharkarosa. It's an exotic animal park. I'm pretty pleased I ran across the place. I'm certain as Emma get's older we'll be taking her there again. So here are some random shots from the place...

These are the photo's I'm processing next. For those who have been following along in the plot line, you will be happy to see the pup in this photo. The black dog is Pig from the Poopers adventures. Pig now has a much nicer name of Maddie and a very nice family who loves her.

If anybody else out there has one of the Poopers I would love to get an update or see pics if you have them.

One year...

My blog is one year old. I can't beleive it. I'll have to sit and analyze all that when I have a minute. I'll get back to you when I know how I feel about all that.

In the meantime, I did edit the Emma shots. It was all about putting stuff in her mouth. And yes, the bow is ridiculous--ridiculous and fabulous!!!

Rocky Horror

It was a long weekend, and although I haven't posted--I have been taking photos. I'll try to catch you up over the next couple days. First of all Halloween. Lauren and her friends went to the concert at Nokia---stupid venue doesn't allow decent camera's inside. My camera had to stay in the car.

Lauren was Magenta from Rocky Horror. Turns out her friend was Frank N Furter, we went by after the concert and got a pic of them together.

And finally for family, I did a couple of Emma for her 10 months ..this is not it. Expect to see them in the next 2-3 days.

boo

It's not like Autumn back home, but we're feeling the change of season's here in Texas as well.

Tonight is Halloween and I think Tom intends on taking Em out for at least a couple houses to see how she reacts. Emma of course hasn't even had candy before so I'm thinking the loot will go to PaPa.

I on the other hand am chauffeuring for Lauren and friends so they can go see a concert. I'm hoping for a cornucopia of photo ops. I'll let you know how it goes.

Rain, Rain, Rain....

Blah Blah Blah...I am over it.
