30 Day Photography Challenge-Day 7

Day 7

Something funny

This little girl makes me laugh all the time...and I still can't get over her hairline! We call her our little "monk". I love her small patch of hair along the back of her head (looks like she inherited her Grandpa Steve's hairline!). If I were to put some sunglasses on there it would look like a little mustache :) hehe. But I'm not that mean...and Charleigh will probably look at all of these one day so I have to be careful ;) I also love how she seems to know when I am talking about her hair....the picture in the middle is the face I get everytime! ("Mom...please...just give it up already..so I have funny hair-who cares.") I can hear her little "teenager" voice already! ha! So this was my "something funny" for the day!

(And watching her splash all around in the bathtub-but it's too hard to capture a picture with all that wiggling!)

DAY 6

Books

I love reading-but lately that has been put on hold. I pick taking a nap or shower over reading these days ;) So these are the books I have out on my table these days.

What to Expect: Year One

Mockingjay (last book in the Hunger Games Trilogy...I started this one right before Charleigh was born and am only on chapter 4. I recently started trying to finish it-but have honestly probably read about 10 pages in the last month)

The Bible (Hey, it's Sunday-I have to include it in the mix;)-very thankful for this one!)

And since this is a 30 day photography challenge for gratitude I have to say I am VERY thankful for books and love how they let me escape into a different world for a while. :)

DAY 5

Morning Sky

I'm not much of a morning person-so to have remembered to take this picture, AND to have actually taken it are huge steps for me! Haha. My dream picture would've been that of the sun rising behind the mountains at home-but this one will have to do ;) That is one thing I missed almost immediately after moving here was the morning sky. I LOVED looking towards the mountains and watching the glow of the sun become brighter behind them.

Morning sky makes me remember a sunrise I watched with Jon when we were first dating. We were nestled in his little pick-up truck on Rocky Hill, had Margot and the Nuclear So and So's playing, and just sat there watching the beauty of all that is contained in a sunrise.

If you have never watched a sunrise with your love I challenge you to do so! It is a such a unique and calming experience. It seems as though the whole world is still and waiting in those couple minutes before the sun peaks over. Peaceful is a perfect word for it.

Happy Saturday! Time to go eat my donut! ;)

DAY 4

Leaves

Oh, you mean this doesn't count for leaves!?...oops!

(just have to mention that this little one rolled ALL the way over today!

Yay Charleigh!)

I love Fall-especially when the leaves change color! But today I had to compromise and photograph some leaves that were around our house. Charleigh was inside the house so I couldn't venture far, or for too long! And...it had rained all night so everything was all wet (but this proved to be an amazing photo plus!) The first two pictures in the series highlight the berries on the tree more than the leaves-but I couldn't resist! I mean, look how beautiful the water drops are hanging from them! Wow. So the last picture is more of a "leaves only" photo, and I really liked how the ivy was climbing up the tree. :) I'm really enjoying this challenge-it is making me a)step out of my photography comfort zone, b)use my camera everyday, and c)learn how to use my camera properly (finally!) ;) I think for this challenge I am only supposed to post ONE photo a day...but I am enjoying posting a couple more...(have I mentioned I'm not good at making decisions?) ;)

So one day you might just get one...and another day you might get a whole slew!

(yes...I looked up the word slew to make sure it was a real word and not one I just happened to make up..I've been known to do that)

30 days of photography

So I found this on Pinterest today and have decided to do it!

November has exactly 30 days in it-so here it goes!

I'm a little behind (ok, just ONE day behind) so I will try and post the first TWO today. (My internet comes and goes here-so hopefully I can upload a picture a day.)

This should be fun! Join me if you want! (and let me know if you do!)
