Through The Lens Thursday: Golden

I went outside to take these pictures this morning as soon as I saw the sun coming up. I meant to just take a picture of the sunrise, since the long weekend threw me off and I had forgotten about this post until last night. When I got to the […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Texture

Just like last week, this was a fun prompt. I with I could do more macro shots, but my 50 or 35mm lens don’t really allow me to get super close.

But, I played around and this is what I ended up with.

Ivy’s new backpack is covered with different textures….metallic shimmery […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Green

I really liked this prompt, and if I wanted to, I could share fifteen different photos for it. As it is, I’ll narrow it down to, like…seven.

The weather this past couple of weeks has been really nice and mild, and we’ve had a few days of rain storms. So, the […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Lemon

I use the prompt “lemon” loosely this week. Big surprise, eh?

There was an amazing moon this week (was it a super moon? People on Facebook seem to think so). And the moon, for me, was really difficult to capture. I don’t have a zoom lens, so the pictures look so […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Love

Hey, if you’re a runner and local to Kansas, go enter my giveaway!

There are so many ways I could’ve gone with this. But, I’m solo parenting this week and it’s the last full week before school starts, which means my kids haven’t been wearing clothes much and I’m just trying […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Looking Up

If we’re friends on Facebook, it’d be impossible for you not to know that we got a new puppy this week. My friend’s dog had a litter of them, and when we dropped by her house recently, we fell in love. (Thanks, Nikki!)

Yes, I already have my hands full with […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Stairs

I know this is a day early, but I’m headed to the BlogHer conference tomorrow afternoon, and have some fun BlogHer news coming up tomorrow!

We had the girls’ double birthday party on Sunday, and they had chosen to go to a gymnastics place nearby. It was especially exciting (for all […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Cozy

“Cozy” during the summer is “Cold From Air-Conditioning”

Or Sick.

I like the picture of the girls because it’s kind of three layers….their “audience” of the Furbie and the Talking Penguin thing, then the girls snuggled up together, and finally, the leftover birthday balloons in the window (one of which you can […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Eyes

I enjoyed this prompt. I only wish that my camera lens (a 30mm) would let me get just alittlebit closer to the baby blues that I snapped away at all week.

I have blue eyes (both of my parents do, too) and all four kids have them, too…although, the shades vary […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Mess

Ever since my oldest got a new loft bed to sleepon, and I spent several hours cleaning the room so they could build it, I’ve been pretty strict about trying to keep it clean (he shares it with his sisters). I’m not always successful, but it’s not a pig sty […]
