Jan 29-Feb 4: My Choice

2012-02-04T21:45:00.009-05:00

Leaving it up to be my choice ends in... indecision. So I'm leaving you all with two pics. We went to the UK dairy farm this week and I snapped a bunch of shots. Cows are great.

I wouldn't mind doing a once-a-month photo challenge for the rest of the year. It was fun to do the weekly challenges, even if I didn't get to do every one.

Jan 29 - Feb 4: My choice

About two years ago, I made something with a lemon and decided to plant one of the seeds. This little tree is ridiculously slow growing - still only about 12" tall and eons away from ever making fruit - but if you rub the leaves your fingers will smell like lemon oil.

One of the great joys of my life...my girl!
Jan. 22-28 submission from Leslie

This past weekend, we were able to spend a little bit outside, which was nice! I was getting a little cabin fever, so some running around in the back yard was just what I needed. My daughter loves...LOVES being outside, and loves playing on her swingset. She wanted me to teach her how to swing on her belly, and she did it right away! She was so excited to discover a whole new way to swing. It's the simple things!

January 22-28: People in our lives

Flock of blackbirds, somewhere down US-68.

I've been diving into Francis Chan's Forgotten God through a class at Southland, and at our first meeting we were asked what stereotypes we had about the Holy Spirit. Some people said charismatics freak them out, some said conservative churches were dull and lifeless; and others like me didn't have a whole lot to say because I've never really thought about him individually. God the Father makes sense, because I've had parents, and God the Son makes sense because Jesus was human, but I realized in that moment that I couldn't call a picture of the Spirit to mind to categorize him. Perhaps other people had stereotypes to overcome, but it felt like I had to start from scratch. The only concrete image I had was a bird, and if you read all the passages in the New Testament about him you'll see pretty quickly that in no way covers it. Words like strength, surrender, power, and change are always in the mix when he's involved.

Chan's book is all about understanding the pivotal role the Spirit plays and how to really integrate him into your life - a bit like putting the right face on him.

The soon-to-be-daddy! I couldn't help myself, he's just too cute. ;)

I love this little funny face

January 15-21: Funny Faces

2012-01-15T19:13:00.004-05:00

I hope to see more bokeh and black and white photos up here from the rest of the crew! I don't think anyone would object to a late photo for the January challenges.

Here's my funny faces submission - my niece, Natalie, who is the queen of silliness.

Black & White

I had a great idea for a nice black and white night shot, but never got the time to go out at night to take it. So this will have to do in the meantime. Surely someone else has a black & white shot to share? The snow is giving us a perfect opportunity for some shots!

January Photo Challenge Month!

2012-01-03T07:30:00.001-05:00

Hi all! It's been a while since we've posted any news here, but we're still here and we're still taking pics! It's been a wild and crazy wedding season for some of us, and one of our members had a baby. But, this month, we're tackling some weekly photo challenges, to help inspire us, get us using some creative techniques, and help us look for those photographic opportunities right under our noses. Keep checking back for some of our challenge images throughout the month. Here's our schedule, so you can follow along:

January 1-7: creative bokeh (or other creative photo technique)
January 8-14: black & white
January 15-21: funny faces
January 22-28: the people in our lives (neighbors, family members, friends, etc.)
January 29-Feb 4: photographer's choice week (anything goes)

Stay tuned, and don't forget to follow our challenges on Facebook, too!

Field Trip to a Horse Farm!

2011-04-01T07:30:00.032-04:00

We recently had a field trip to a local horse farm--friends of Abby's. While the day was overcast, we couldn't have had a more fun time! Our hosts were so kind and generous in allowing us to trapse around their farm, snapping photos of the horses, the flowers, the house, and just about anything else. What a beautiful place! Here are links to all our photos and thoughts about the day:

Andrea, Katie and Abby had a lot of fun Katie's house for meeting #2. The enjoyed taking pictures in Katie's beautiful backyard on the gorgeous vintage couch her hubby snagged for her a while ago. The Fall colors were wonderful, and they got some fun pictures of each other to put on our Facebook page.
