I've been Challenged!

Ok, Shannon, My friend from SOTB and one of my daily chatters, has been given a challenge and then passed it on to me and Fran (Bunny) and Larisa.

This is the challenge

Invite six friends to join the challenge.

Link them in your blog and let them know they have been challenged.

Ok, so here is my picture



This is Armando. My Eldest Niece's husband. I was given the pleasure of taking the girls Family Portraits last Thanksgiving. I had a blast taking them. We were at the Oceanside Beach Peer in lovely Southern California. This was one of my test shots. I was trying to get the correct exposure.

Now, on to the people I am going to challenge

Come on Girls! I challenge you!

It's Friday. Yay! I wonder what this weekend has in store for me. I hope to get some of my Paper swap stuff completed. They are not due until March 1st, but time seems to be passing very quickly. Here is it the 23rd of January already. It's two weeks to our Mardi Gras Ball and 3 weeks we'll be going to Fairhope, AL to watch the KOER Madri Gras parade. They also have a parade the same day in the afternoon, but it's for the Dogs. I want to enter Macey in it. I think she would love to do that. I was thinking of dressing her up in her Bumble Bee costume.


Now, as far as my Challenges, I've done a few more today.

the name of the kit is Grandma's Attic. I thought it would be fitting to use a picture of My Grandmother for the LO. :)

Happy New Year!

Hey everyone! I'm so happy. I have had a great new year's eve and day. I have done a lot of things these past few days that make me feel like I'm on the right track to a change in my life's attitude. I did not make a list this year, but I have a lot of Ideas. I spent these days trying to include a piece of my many Ideas, even if it wasn't a lot of time dedicated to doing the activity. I managed to fit in a lot of things.

I'm going to share a few photos I've taken starting on Monday the 29th

I got this shot of the new moon along with Jupiter and Mercury. I took it in my front yard. The planets were just peaking through the trees.

This shot is from where I work in Jay. I took it on the 30th. Boy the sky was really on fire that night.

These next shots are from new years eve.

This is Champ. The newest horse that Shelby has. He's beautiful. She and the rest of the Horse Lovers were camping at Clear water, just 1 mile away from where I live. I stopped by for a while and even had the chance to shoot the horses for a while, while Shelby and Chatted. Before long, Joyce had made a Huge pot of Gumbo. Yum-O. I then left and went back to Jay to get pics of the new moon and Venus and to see if I could get some of Jupiter and Mercury again. There was a line layer of clouds, but I managed to get a few shots.

I loved what the clouds did for my photos. The moon and Venus look great! After I took a nap, yes, I'm getting old now, Linda and our neighbor Berrell had fun shooting fireworks in our yard, while I enjoyed trying to capture them on digi cam. Here are a few pics. The first two I used my tripod. The second two, I had to freehand it. They were too big a bang and straight up for the tripod. I'm very pleased with myself. Even though it was 30 degrees F and the wind blowing, the shots came out pretty. OK, let me hear your OOOOs and AHHHHs.

On this next shot, Linda & I have seen things in the picture. Do you see anything?

Again, Happy New Year!!!!!
