Not the best photo in the world, but something about the flare of the sunlight makes me really like this photo. I think its the different colors bouncing off the flare of light. This one is not an iPhone photo for a change. I took this with my Olympus when me and the family went to Amicalola Falls for a picnic back this summer. It was a gorgeous day and we had a great time.

Blue Day

I thought the contrast of the blue sky and the green tree tops was lovely so I snapped a shot. Not a cloud in the sky on this day.

I'm really pleased with the way this photo came out. It was snapped using my iPhone camera. No enhancements or touch ups.

Another trip to Sims Lake Park gives this photo. Isn't it funny how sometimes even the weeds can be pretty. I think there's a lesson to be learned in there.

Another iPhone photo. I took this one while driving in to work one morning. I love watching the sky and clouds. They are always changing and you never know what you view you might see next.

Sorry for the brief posts. I'm just trying to catch up a little bit.

Look To The Sky

This shot was taken from my iPhone. Which I've come to take a lot of my daily shots using this device. Some of the photos have turned out really, surprisingly well. Like this one. This was taken on one my first days back to work after my maternity leave. The sky was gorgeous and blue and so was I because I really wanted to be home with my baby.

Anyway, back to the iPhone photo part of the post. I've been trying to take better photos using the phone camera. I think it's doable I just have to keep at it. There's so many apps available as well. But first to master the camera in the phone itself to see what it can do.

Ha, I guess my title is self explanatory. Or maybe it should say, lots of rock.

Anyway, on this day the family loaded up in the Sport Trac and made the trek north. We went to Tallulah Gorge GA State Park for the day. This is a shot of some of the rocks that line a section of the Shortline Rail Trail, the old railway line that is now a nice paved walking trail. This was a great day spent with the family. After a short hike we found a nice cozy spot over looking the gorge and had a picnic. Just thinking about it makes me wan to get back out there.

Rainbow Fountain

OK, lame title I know. But I couldn't think of anything more clever. This was yet another trip to Sims Lake Park. The fountain was on and I tried really hard to capture the rainbow it cast. Looks like I made it.

After putting my daughter to bed one night, I was walking down the hallway and just happened to glance down at the night light. I thought the light and the shadows it cast were pretty interesting and so I snapped a few photos. This one turned out pretty neat. I really like the soft glow the light casts.

A Daisy A Day


A Daisy A Day
Originally uploaded by ThatTessGirl
First, I love this photo.

This was another family trip to Sims Lake Park. A local park near the homestead. As we were walking along, I saw the one, lone daisy and snapped a photo.

Once I saw the color version I just knew it was going to be my photo for the day. I just loved the tilt of the image. However, once I started toying with it and applied a black and white filter, the sharp contrast of the white petals really stood out. So I had to go with that version of the photo as my daily photo.

Is anyone surprised that I'm uploading another photo of my daughter?

This is one of the cutest little outfits. She looks so good in blue; it highlights her blue eyes. But being me, I was just snapping some photos and decided to try for a little different angle and then was drawn in by the 'sweet' tag and just tried to capture some images of it. I thought it made for a great photo op.

This photo is kind of cool and creepy all at the same time. But I thought it was a cool shot of my daughter in full motion. It was a little frustrating trying to get her to be still and smile for the camera but it did make for a great P365 photo.

Toes No Sock

Well, this photo is kind of obvious. My daughter's toes less her sock. Man, babies can wiggle their little feet out of socks faster than anything I've ever seen. Especially these cute little socks. She didn't care that they were cute. She didn't want to wear them. So naturally it was a battle of wills. I put them on her and she kicked them off. I put them on her and she kicked them and so on and so on and so on.....

This is one of my daughter's favorite toys, now. Funky Monkey is so bright and colorful. He's really fun. I thought the angle of this photo was interesting so it became my photo of the day.

I used a flash on this photo. I love the shadows cast and the way the colors stand out.

I knew I needed a Project 365 photo and was behind as it was. So when I glanced down and spied the dots on my shirt I figured why not. They were kind of interesting and might make a good shot. And we were running out the door and I thought I might not get another chance to take a photo.
