Scavenger Hunt Sunday

What a fun and exhausting week!  I realized last night that I haven't posted almost all week...testament to what it's been like around here.  My brother and his wife came for a whirlwind visit and we had a BLAST.  But more on that later.  For now, here are my entries for this week.

Holiday Colors
I was playing around with bokeh (the round circles in the background from the lights) with this picture, but realized it was perfect for holiday colors because the carolers are wearing red and green and there's a Christmas tree in the background.

Winter/Holiday Icon
Our Christmas tree. 

Brandon was SOOOOOO excited to help put ornaments on the tree he could hardly stand still long enough to get them on.  He did really well, though.  One of his ornaments has his name on it and he is very proud to point it out to anyone who will look at it with him.  :)

A Tree
This tree gets me every winter.  It's a magnolia tree that has these buds on it all winter long.  Buds mean spring is around the corner--not for this tree, though.  For those of you who know me, Spring at the end of Winter is the light at the end of the tunnel for me.

Quiet
On our late night drive home this week, from picking up my brother and his wife, it got very quiet in the back seat.  I turned around a saw that Brandon had pulled his hat way down over his eyes and fallen asleep.  So precious!

Your Favorite Color
BLUE sky!  This picture really is perfect to describe the weather in this area, though.  I've experienced drastic changes from rain to a clear blue, sunny sky within minutes. 

Praying your Sunday is one of resting in the Father's presence.

In My Home
Are these two cuties!  Brandon decided he and Micah both needed to wear hats the other day.  After putting them on right and we took some pictures, he turned them around backwards.  Unfortunately, he moved on too quickly and I didn't get any pictures.  It was quite amusing, though!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like...
Christmas!  While Bryan decorated the Honcoop truck for the Christmas parade yesterday, Brandon and I decorated the house.  (Brandon was VERY helpful in measuring all the couches for me.  :)  )

Sweet Treat

Time
Time is so precious and goes so quickly. 

Everyday
Brandon lines up his cars in one way or another every. single. day.

Blessings on this Sunday.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

It's that time again.  I missed last week with all the business of getting ready for Thanksgiving and the network game the day after.  Here are my entries for this week.

Black & White
These are some dried pods we saw on our walk yesterday.  I did some playing around with Wetreats textures.

I Ate This

Homemade pizza is the best!!  I did put cheese on later, but it didn't look as good after the cheese since I had to put two different types of cheese and some without cheese.

Historic
This is an old railroad kerosene lantern that Bryan's grandfather had and passed down to Bryan.  I used CoffeeShop's Vintage Newspaper action on it.

Off Center
Ever feel like this leaf?  Off center, out of balance, barely hanging on, the only one left...

The End
The end of the this snowy period is just fine by me.  Bye-bye snow...

Good morning folks!

Here are my pictures for this week. 

Self Portrait
(Archive Picture) I almost skipped this picture because I really dislike being in pictures, but thought my family might enjoy a little chuckle over Micah's new favorite position when I'm folding laundry.

Handmade
This is a thorn carving made by a craftsman in Nigeria.

Orange

Candle
I think this is my favorite this week.  I had some fun playing with textures in Photoshop for the first time.

Traffic Signals/Signs

Have a blessed and restful Sunday.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

For a while I was getting really tired of taking pictures because there seemed to be nothing new.  Then I discovered two blogs with photo challenges.  The first one is at Ramblings and Photos where five words are given to take pictures of for that week.  The second challenge will have to wait until the end of the month for revelation.

Here are my pictures for this week's Scavenger Hunt Sunday:

Boo
Playing Peek-a-Boo with Brandon.

Black
Silhouettes are black, right?

Texture
There are so many different layers of textures in this photo: cloudy sky, wood grain, rocks, rusty farm equipment...you get the idea...

Wet
Needless to say I didn't have to look very far for "wet" in the Northwest.

Language
The Bible is a language in and of itself, and it is translated in to so many different languages around the world.

Have blessed and restful Sunday!
