Road Closed

Thursdays I take a different route to work because I drop off Luke at his babysitter's those days. One particularly pretty morning, I randomly noticed a dirt road to nowhere (?) along my way. It looked so pretty, the way the sun filtered through the trees. I was determined to come back and get a few photos!

This morning I brought my camera with me because we are going to the county fair this evening. When I drove past my favorite spot, I was pleased to see that the road was looking very pretty, as usual!







I decided to play around in Photoshop a bit (thank you, Pioneer Woman, for the PS Action), too:


Guys, I'm kind of obsessed with this road.

First Hair Cut

I’m sorry it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. Life gets busy, ya know? But I’ve managed to find a little time for my camera, and took it along for Luke’s first hair cut! Rob held Luke in his lap, and he was a very good boy. Luke, that is. I suppose Rob was good too, but I digress.

At first he didn't know what he hell was going on:


He warmed up pretty quickly, though!




Rockin' a little mohawk!


I like close-ups :).


And of course, my handsome husband:

Afternoon at the Park

Over the weekend, Luke and I took a little walk to the park at the Civic Center. He likes when I push him in the swing at the playground. I got some cute shots of him, and later had fun doing a little tweaking in Photoshop.





Little feet!



Heh heh I think this makes him look like a badass.



And for something a little brighter:

An Attempt at Macro

I love macro photography. One of the things on my wishlist is a macro lens. They're just a tad expensive, so I don't think I'll be seeing one any time soon. But a girl can dream!

For the meantime I'll simply have to make do with what I've got. Some people get great macro shots with just their Canon Powershots, right?

I did a lot of flowers - they're pretty. Not very original, but pretty!







And then there was this little bug, crawling on a daylily stem:



Well, I guess this will have to do for now! But I'm still majorly jonesing for a macro lens.

New Camera!

Proof that my husband rocks:



This is what he gave me Friday night as a (two-week early) birthday gift!! Yay!!

It's a Canon Digital Rebel XSi. My little Nikon point-and-shoot has been driving me up the wall lately with mysteriously blurry photos, and I have been itching for an SLR camera of my own after borrowing Schuelke's camera on multiple occasions.

Let the fun begin!
