Many pictures this week. I got very camera happy.

Angel & I went to the local park and took a walk along some of the trails.  While there we happened upon a little hidden area in the trails that had a ton of butterfly’s and dragonfly’s!!  Here’s just a few of my absolute fav’s:

In Flight

Kissing Cousins

Glorious Green

Then Archie & I went to the fair to see a show…
Midway

Lights on the Midway

Hilariously Fabulous w/ a Guitar

JEFF DUNHAM!!!

With Walter

And Achmed

Peanut, of course

JOSE (On a stick)

And a special treat. A new act, DIANE (loved her!!)

Jeff put on a GREAT show, we LOVED him!!  So glad we bought the tickets soon as we saw that he was coming to Indy!!

And the last few pics, I promise….

Frills

Fabulous Ribbons

Fabulous Fun Locks

Okay, that’s it!!  For this week, at least!!  Been taking a lot more pictures, so narrowing them down is getting harder…although I might have done better this week if I didn’t want to get all of Jeff in there!  I would have had more, because I met with some great blogging ladies tonight, but I’m saving that for another post!

For more Weekly Winners, head over to Lotus‘ and enjoy!!

For week 7/12-7/18/10

This week was crazy bad (see previous post), but it also had some good things. Today is my birthday and I want it to be good, so I’m trying to remind myself to just breathe and remember the good things. These pictures help.
I did attempt to re-start project 365 this week, but I forgot on Thursday (worst day) and decided to try again next week, so hopefully that will be happening in the next few weeks. I want to get ahead of the game by a week.
I also got a new photo-editing/managing software program this week. I’m wishing I could afford the pro version when it’s time to buy, but I’m afraid it’ll not be happening this year. Either way, I’m loving my new editing software and will tell you more about soon. It’s my new best friend.

Onto the pictures!

Waiting on a train

Spanning the distance

Bridging the Gap

Lines Across the Times

Pretty Hair for a Special Day

JUST B-R-E-A-T-H-E
(This was the test that determined if she stayed home or was checked in. She just had to breathe well. She didn’t, but she breathed better than last time.  That’s my Angel’s RT in the picture with her. She always makes it fun for Angel!)

It’s a lot this week, I know…but Sunday was a good photography day. I ran out and took a little photo walk, thus the railroad theme for most of it.

Go over and visit Lotus for some more great WW’s!!!

This week I started work on a project I’ve been wanting to do since I was probably 8.  I started constructing a Victorian Era outfit from the skin out (literally, I made a duct tape dress form & everything). So most of my pictures are around that event. 

Then, at the bottom, the final three are part of my new Project 365 project.  It’s all Mishi’s fault. She twittered and posted about it, and when I said I’d been thinking of it, but was worried of forgetting/messing up she ‘twisted my arm’. Okay, it didn’t take much convincing, but it’s still her fault. I can’t guarantee that I will POST a picture every day, but I will TAKE at least a picture every day and try to post that often.  I’m anxious to see where this takes me…my poor camera has been a bit neglected lately.  And I was really pleased with what I was doing with it over the summer last year…so I’m excited!!

That’s it for this week!  Check out more amazing winners over at Lotus’!!

And if you’re curious, the reason that gorgeous cheesecake picture has the title it does is because it was the worlds most beautiful cheesecake but because I had make it in a larger pan than I was used to I’d undercooked it…so it was gorgeous, but ultimately inedible.

I’m trying to play catch up in my hundreds of pictures (finally) that I’ve taken in the past few months and not edited at all. This is batch 1. Taken in Nashville, Indiana. We had some family visiting from out of town and the entire family headed down to Nashville for some shopping and walking. I hauled along my camera and got some shots. I really want to head back down with another photog and just take a photo walk (and drive through BC during full color).  Anyway, without further ado – the shots all taken with my Canon Rebel XTi.
