Him: 365 day 185

He needed a picture for his website so I thought I'd help out... 

Took this a couple of weeks ago but just got around to processing it.  I'm trying my hand at some different processing styles...

I can feel fall coming so I'm trying to capture as much green as possible before it all disappears

Last Days of Summer: 365 day 183

We had an amazing weekend weather-wise so we spent both Saturday & Sunday on our boat. Sadly we'll probably take the boat out of the water today and put it into storage for the winter.
Pictures taken on my iPhone with the instagram app which is, hands down, my absolute favorite photo app.A view of Portage Lake Lift Bridge from our boat...

Banana Fritters: 365 day 181

While my mom was here she taught Omi how to make banana fritters so this morning she decided to make some for Devin and me. She did everything herself which was so fun to watch. They were so extremely delicious.

My Mom, My Daughter: 365 day 180

Devin and I celebrated our 15 year anniversary by going to the US Open tennis championships in New York. While we were there my mom came up to spend time with Omi... they had a blast. I'll post pictures of our trip to NY once I get around to editing them

Beauty of Life: 365 day 179

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams ~Ashley Smith 

On the Boat: 365 day 178

It was 70 degrees and sunny yesterday so we spent it on the boat.

No Path: 365 day 177

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

52 Weeks of BAM: Week 2

Joined a group on Flickr called 52 Weeks of BAM to help me get more comfortable & confident taking my own picture. Their motto: A self portrait, taken every week...of you-for you-and by you!
It may be uncomfortable, it may be weird, it may make you cry, but step out from behind the camera and start snapping yourself! Own it! Love it! Embrace it! Let your bamtastic self shine :)

Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. ~Norman Vincent Peale

This Is My Wish For You: 365 day 174

Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life
~Anonymous
**On a side note, it's not Ugg weather just yet but it is starting to get a little chilly & crisp around here so we're just getting prepped. We are now wearing the same size shoes so we'll be sharing these Uggs--lol

Soccer Season: 365 day 173

She had her 1st soccer game yesterday and not only did her team (the Golden Eagles) win 8-0 but she scored her 1st goal :)) On a side note, I wish I had taken these pictures on the soccer field--think they would've turned out much better but oh well, another time...

Raspberry Picking: 365 day 172

at a friends house on a wonderful/lazy sunny summer day. Would you believe me if I told you we had a lightning storm this morning?

two pictures in a row, you're impressed, aren't you?
