It's a Stash tea rainbow! :)

I told you my family has ridiculous numbers of ducks, and that you would see them when I have no other ideas, didn't I?



I also just wanted to use my fun background. :)

I was having fun playing with a glowstick I found when I was cleaning out my room!



It took me about 50 shots to finally master drawing shapes to the point where I got this shot.

The last day of my mystery theme.


I was having a really hard time finding an object to represent today, until my mom pulled out this yin-yang bear for me!

Lisa's (my boyfriend's mom) 50th birthday was today! And her awesome "AARP" cake fits perfectly into my four-day theme.



This was also my first time testing my new camera in less than ideal lighting.


I'll have to try it again... I don't like the results that I got, and I couldn't remember where in the menu I can change what lighting I'm in.




You can ignore the rest of this if you don't want to hear me whine :)


I have the rest of my pictures taken up to today's, but I literally have no time to upload any more than what I've done today. Wednesday is my last day of class and we have a presentation. I just got the data from the last person today, and it was supposed to be handed to me on Wednesday. I had Wednesday off, and most of the day Thursday to finish everything. Now I work 8.5 hour days for the next three days and don't have time to work on the project.

Ugh. Don't ya love people?

The first day of a four-day theme.


Which, of course, you have to guess :)


This is a photo of some cute little magnets I have in my room.



I also picked up a bunch of cheap scrapbook paper to give myself a variety of backgrounds to choose from for my lightbox shots.

This is a nectarine and watermelon smoothie. It was probably the most amazing smoothie I have ever had in my life. :D


And yes, I recycled the red flower from yesterday.

Sunset from Keith's kitchen window.

14 July 2009

I was out in the garden picking both of these today. I couldn't decide which picture to post, and I have been wanting to do something like this for a while now. :)

07 July 2009

I love the composition of this shot (though I know that Darlene would tell me there is too much wasted space), but there's so much noise! I really do love my camera, but I hate the amount of noise it puts in my photos.


Anyone know of anything that could help?

This didn't turn out quite like I had hoped. I did, however, capture the different colors of the wood like I wanted to.

This the last of my mystery theme pictures... Mandy and Trevor got the theme right after I posted the last picture! :D



I'm posting the answer, and the key to each picture, as a comment on this post.




The "mystery theme" idea didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but I didn't want it to be guessed right away either. It's a hard theme to choose, and I found that it was really hard to photograph after I got started.

Fade to Black



I was originally taking photos of flowers, but got extremely distracted with our bottles of food coloring. :D


I chose this picture because of how all of the colors combine into black at the bottom... There's so much beauty in how the colors swirl above the chaos at the bottom of the vase.


There are other food coloring photos here.

The Care And Keeping of Your Redhead: Chapters One - Five

Keep your redhead out of the sunshine. If you do let her out into the sun, make sure she puts plenty of sunscreen on, every hour.

If she argues, tackle her and put it on yourself.

If left out in the sunshine without liberal amounts of sunscreen, your redhead's hair will not be the only thing that is red. (See Fig. 1)



Figure 1: An extremely sunburned redhead.

The look of this smoothie was really cool :)

This is a Summer Berry Slush smoothie. Which is basically made by throwing any sort of berry you have into the blender with some ice (or throw in frozen berries and skip the ice). It also called for orange juice, but since I'm allergic I skipped it.

My hair. :)

I am the Smoothie Queen.
My smoothies are extremely simple (sometimes bland) recipes, and I that's how I love them!


This pretty one was pear, raspberry, and honey.
(I used half Sprite half water for the liquid.)

The taste?
Absolutely amazing! Definitely worth trying.
I'll post the recipe if anyone is interested!
