Pumpkins

This week over at Trendy Treehouse the theme for Shutterlove Tuesday is, very appropriately, PUMPKINS.  If you live in the Dallas Texas area and you have not been to the Arboretum at this time of the year ..... get up off your duff and head that way as soon as possible.  The flowers are always beautiful and with the addition of 40,000+ pumpkins it is like a fantasyland. 

 I love this photo and luckily for me it has a couple of PUMPKINS in it along with a very special Punkin ~

Head on over to Trendy Treehouse to see the other great PUMPKIN pictures.

PS - thanks for the shout outs last week on the BLUE ferris wheel picture !

Have you visited Trendy Treehouse ??  If not, you  must do so immediately !! 

Today is Shutter Love Tuesday and the subject is BLUE.

Bloopers/Outtakes

This week over at Trendy Treehouse the Shutter Love subject is Bloopers and Outtakes. I am sure we all have been faced with this scenario ..... You have been shooting family pictures for about an hour and your little subjects have just had ENOUGH and dear, sweet Mom and Dad are trying to keep a positive attitude and be sure you have that perfect shot. These were two of my favorites.

It has been my experience that Dad usually bails before Mom !

FACES

The Shutter Love subject today is FACES so I decided this might be an appropriate entry. These two monkeys are my twin grandgirls who, along with their 4 yr old big sister, make photographing them a challenge. After almost three years of trying to get the "perfect" picture of them, I have decided that pictures like these are THE perfect ones !!

A love for twins is twice as sweet.

Dramatic Black and White

Today, over at http://www.iheartfaces.com/ the focus is on B&W.

I am not sure that this falls into the "dramatic" category but I am positive it is B&W. I took this picture about the time I was starting to experiment with aperature and shutter speed. Not knowing anything about either - I feel like I got lucky. I love the movement in this picture as well as the unbridled joy of a little girl swinging. Today my wish for all you is to feel that joy for at least one moment of your day.
