Before & After

As of today, I am 8 weeks post-op from my back surgery.  Since I am able to be up and mobile again, I needed to get behind the camera again.  Last week, I took a trip to Emerald Isle, NC.  During my last day on the island, I took what I do believe is my most favorite picture I have ever done.  So, below, I have put in the original & the edited versions to see how much editing I do with a picture I take.

Original:

Edited:  On this particular one, I cropped, adjusted the lighting, then added my copyright. 

Signs of Summer

Round Robin Challenge: Being Green

So the object was 'Begin Green', green is my most favorite color, however, where we are that color is not appearing quite yet because of the icky weather.  Upside, I am not in the snow like my sister in NY.  

Sitting at my youngest son's soccer game the other night, I made a comment to my husband about how the Bermuda Grass is beginning to come in on the fields.  So, I went through the pics I took of the game and chose the one below.  Because of the little boy in the side picture decided that he has a soccer ball for a heart, I have spend many a Spring on a soccer pitch.  I love when the grass begins to come in because I know warm weather isn't too far off.   (Yes, it's the same kid, just a 10 year age difference.) :)

This past weekend at my son's soccer tournament (which they won by the way!), an opposing team-member's little sister took advantage of an empty field at halftime and began doing gymnastics.  I kept snapping pictures just as practice and came out with a winner.

Round Robin Challenge: The White Stuff

For my White Stuff Challenge, I couldn't make up my mind! 

So, chose a pic I took from my iPhone last week when I was flying from Charlotte to Dallas/Fort Worth of the clouds.

(There is zero editing done to this, as I wanted it as 'pure' as possible.)

Week 3: Still Life - Fruit "lemon"

Week 2: Lighting "Guide by Sunlight"

Sun alluminates the a path from the woods making the green of the cedar tree and the vines glow a deep green.

Week 1: Landscape

One of the hundreds of entrances to the woods on my parents property.
I have had so many adventures in there and they continue to still hold wonder and awe.
