Pink Frog???

I have heard of seeing Pink Elephants altho I have never seen on myself..but Pink Frogs??? I was outside and looked in my dying Daisy bush to see if there was a frog on the flowers like there has been recently...I think I have a family of them living under my deck......well........this time the "female" of the batch must have been sunning herself as she had pink legs and an iridescent pink stripe down her back.....ah ha...where is the camera when you need it.....but I got my trusty little Nikon out and snapped a few pictures of this pink frog.....just so people wouldn't think me crazy...well at least not for seeing Pink Frogs............the picture looks more salmon colored but it really was a Hot pink color on those legs...maybe she had leg warmers in anticipation of the drop in temperatures to come :)

Too Cute

Sometimes a picture comes across your computer that you just have to share. I sold two puppies to a lady named Tiana on Friday....she sent me an update and some pictures...one of the pictures was this one...the puppies asleep together...but more than that...they formed a shape of a heart...now ya gotta admit..that is pretty cute.

Equal time

Just didn't want to make poor Abby feel left out so I thot I would post this picture of her that I took yesterday. Sharpened it up a bit...was playing with apertures and my new 18-200mm lens. I love that thing...you can go from quite far away to very close as you can see in this picture she was right in front of me.



Oh the top picture was done with the tutorial on Noel's blog :)

Smart curve tutorial trial

Noel posted a tutorial for Smart Curve on her blog so I decided to try it with this cute picture of Lucy...one of my new puppies..............hum...will need to give equal time to Abby to I think...maybe tomorrow

Waiting

I have been waiting to post this picture of a snail that followed me home from Noel's house way back in the beginning of August....she never noticed it was gone till she saw it at my house on the back porch one day......well she thot she would get even and stole my chicken....and then I didn't even notice it was gone as I was always busy watching the puppies to see if they were pottying or getting into any trouble...the entire family was in on it and thot it funny that I never noticed it gone....oh well...so much for my powers of observation...guess they have gone down the tube....or should I say...to the dogs??



don't you think that he looks very happy at my house??? what I think is funnier is that I didn't notice that the snail was gone :(

Dust Bunnies

Lucy got under one of my pieces of furniture and found this dust bunny...it made such a cute beard for her that I had to get my camera and snap a few shots. Now...if I could just teach her how to collect all the dust bunnies and put them in the trash for me.......hum...she does have a tail...maybe I could put a dust mop on the end of her tail and she could become my cleaning lady :) Whatever she is cute collector of dust bunnies for me

Big Boy Haircut

Here is a pre-haircut picture of my little boy :)

My baby got his first haircut today...he was getting so shabby. He looks like a big boy now. He wasn't crazy about standing there while I clippered him but he endured it most of the time. It helped that he was tethered so that he couldn't go very far. Didn't do his face much as he was tired of me primping him....poor baby :)

Three Queens

This is the last layout for the Type-Writer class. We were to write in the third person a fairy tale type of entry of someone and an object that was important to us. Well I didn't quite do that but I did use these photos and tell a story of three queens.
WOW it was amazing! I learned some things about journaling and lots of new things about Typography. It was a four month course packed into two weeks. To make things a little simpler in the course we had templates and just added papers, pictures and words to make them uniquely ours. We got these amazing tips on how to write our feelings out on paper....well we got them but not sure I can remember or even used them but I loved the class........so if you have nothing else to do...hop on over to Jessica Sprague's website and see when the next class is going to start :)

Layout about Young Jackie

I have wanted to do these pictures into a layout for a while. When this lesson came up it was fun to be able to use all four of the pictures in one layout. We were to journal about ourself...not sure if I did the lesson like I was supposed to but this is what I came up with....

Shutter Speeds

I am taking a photography class from Candice Stringham and our first lesson was on shutter speeds....it has taken forever for me to get this posted cuz I couldn't find the shutter speeds and guess from some information from PSE5...hope they are close :)
We were sitting at a restaurant where I had brought my camera to ask Noel about shutter speed readings on my Nikon. So I practiced by having Torrey shake her head back and forth....and got these really cool pictures.
