Through the Lens Thursday: Gloom

One morning, when I went into the kitchen to make breakfast, I saw this foreboding scene of doom and gloom: Lego guy on the edge of the counter, seconds from falling off. I did what any concerned citizen would do and got out my camera. Lego guy is now safely […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Shine

It was a sun-shiny day, and I had plans to try to capture my favorite swing photos, but from another angle to try to change it up. I ended up with very different pictures, though. The dog and two kids trying to shoot […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Stripes

For this week’s prompt, “Stripes,” I wanted to challenge myself. I haven’t taken any self-portraits in a while (none this year, I think) with my real camera. My husband found the remote thing that plugs into the top of the camera so I had a plan to use it with […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Play

When the girls were performing at the high school football game for their spirit clinic, I took the opportunity to take some pictures. The sun was quickly setting and I was having fun trying some shots. I took this while a few band members were playing the National Anthem. […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Sweet

My sweet photo is two-fold this week: Do you see those shelves on the wall behind my boy there? A few weeks ago, I moved the two cat litter boxes out of this room, my “office.” Basically, since we moved here several years ago, I’ve called it that and […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Deception and From the Ground

So, I missed last week. I wasn’t feeling it. (And yes, I did come up with the prompt “deception” because I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING). I did take a picture or two, so I’ll just do them both here. Okey dokey? Deception Fall around here looks pretty bleak. […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Sparkle

As you’re reading this, I’m probably in California at ShiftCon. I’m writing this Tuesday night, and have a lot to do before I leave Wednesday morning, so this is going to be short. There’s a lot of sparkle in this house, so it wasn’t hard to find something to shoot. […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Away

Essie and I spent the day together on Saturday, away from the rest of the family, and we had so much fun. For Christmas last year, we gave all of the kids cards, good for one date with mom and one date with dad. So far, none of them had […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Tall

Before I get into this week’s prompt, I just wanted to make sure that everyone knew my co-TTLTer’s news…Alison had her babies! She delivered her twins this week at 34 weeks, and they’re doing great. Still in the NICU but growing and feeding and getting stronger every day. Go show […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Black

I was inspired by Alison’s “golden” photos last week, to do something a little different this week for “black.” I used to sell Premier jewelry, and I have a…shall we say….extensive collection. I knew it wouldn’t be easy to capture the shimmer AND black color of this necklace, so I […]
