Today I'm joining Scavenger Hunt Sunday again...so fun :) Don't hesitate to play along as well!



1. Self portrait. I've shared this photo once before, but it's the only photo of myself that I took recently and that I like...am I the only one who is super picky about self portraits? Sigh.



2. Handmade. This beaded bracelet was handmade in Kenya. I love it. And the fact that all the proceeds from this piece of jewelry went right back to the Kenyan ladies that made it makes me love it even more.



3. Orange. I know, I know, I've probably shared one too many fall leaf shots. I can't help myself!



4. Candle. This could have actually qualified for orange as well ;)



5. Traffic signal or sign. Man, I'm loving Lightroom so much. It gave this photo a bit more interest. When this free trial is up, I'm definitely buying it. Definitely. 

Happy Sunday!

Happy Reformation Day! Or, for those of you that celebrate it, Happy Halloween! I hope everyone has a blast today :)

I'm going to participate in Scavenger Hunt Sunday today...it's super fun! You should join in too :)



1. My town. This is a shot of my city's skyline...it was a little boring, so I added some texture to spice it up a little.



2. Something vintage. This metal box I found an at an estate sale for a mere fifty cents. I love it to pieces.


3. Tilt-shift photography. This is my first time trying tilt-shift photography...did I do it right? I'm still not sure what my opinion on it is ;)



4. My beautiful sister, MeMe, in one of her ballet outfits. I'm loving all the blue/green tones in this photo... :)



5. Chocolate. Yes, I've expressed my opinion on this little piece of heaven probably one too many times. Sigh...my true love.

Have a wonderful day!

PS Today is the last day to enter in my photo challenge! You don't want to miss this! :)

I'm hopping on the Scavenger Hunt Sunday bandwagon again - it's so fun! You should give it a try sometime...there's something so satisfying about looking for specific photos.



1. Side lighting. I dug this one out of my archives, but there's something I love about this photo (it's in my header as well). Yes, I don't have a head, but still.



2. Jack o' Lantern. This may not be your traditional jack o' lantern...but it's a face on a pumpkin! Lilly created this lovely masterpiece - the face reminds me of Sponge Bob some how. Ha.

I played around with some textures and effects while editing this photo...what do you think?



3. Faces formed in nature. I realize this one is a stretch, but I couldn't find a face already in nature! So, using some supplies I found outside (berries, a leaf, and a piece of dried grass), I made my own face. I shall call him Billy Bob Joe. ;)



4. Sunset. I got this one out of the archives as well, as we haven't been having a lot of spectacular sunsets here recently. This was taken in Germany one night. It had been raining all day, but in the evening the sun, providing a gorgeous sky. So pretty.



5. Warm. The blankets on my bed. And yes, it's unmade on purpose. I kind of like the look of slightly messy beds.

On a side note, I have a huge favor to ask of you. I entered a photo in a PBTeen photography contest, and need all the votes (or "likes") I can get! The winner of the contest receives a $200 gift certificate and their photo gets made into a wall mural for the store. If you would kindly head on over here and vote for my picture, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much!

Happy Sunday!

I really love Scavenger Hunt Sunday. It's just so fun! This was the first week I actually planned ahead and took fresh photos. So much more satisfying than digging in the archives...

1. Golden. Some golden corn on a farm.

2. Smell. Lilly smelling a flower. I really wanted to do something creative and out of the box for this one, but I couldn't come up with anything.

3. Fruit. Frozen raspberries and blueberries. Yum

4. Simple. A snail that my brother found.

5. Sport. Okay. So bird watching isn't really a sport, but it's the best I could come up with :)

Have a wonderful day!
