A Chance to Play on a Saturday! 10 22 11

I actually had two chances to snap some photos today, even though the week has been a long one, I still took some time today to take some snap shots.  I had two excuses though - one my daughter got this super fab and cute haircut and second she and I were making some cupcakes at home today, so I documented the process! I must say that even though the day was busy, it had its rewards beyond imagination! I love days like this!!

See below and enjoy!

Taking a Day For Myself...10/07/11

It's been a very long week and I got off of work early today, so my daughter and I took a little walk and I took my camera with me...its amazing what happens when your cruising the neighborhood!  There's some very lovely flowers in the area, as well as interesting people - ran into some kids my daughter goes to school with and they wanted to try the camera...I allowed them to take some pictures and I am going to post some of what was taken! The view from the eye of an 8 yr old is what I call them.

But first, back to my first love - photographing Flowers!

And now, the view of the neighborhood and friends from the eyes of an (8) year old!

Animal Rescue Stuff...A Found Kitten, August 2011 - Sept. 2011

Sometime in early August, I received a very interesting call from my husband, he told me we'd have a visitor for a short time - I asked who and he told me a little black kitten our son had found all alone up the street from our house, just sitting between two houses in our neighborhood - my hubby attempted to locate Mom and the rest of the litter - but to no avail.

When I got home I discovered she had a tail injury and was missing 3/4's of her tail - we took her to Banfield Pet Hospital at PetsMart as it was the nearest open vet w/out taking her to the emergency clinic.  We found out she was healthy, and everything looked good, but the tail req'd surgery for a cost more than we could afford.

So that night we set-out to try and find a rescue organization in our area who could help us, and low and behold Adopt-An-Angel was willing to help! She's had the necessary surgery on her tail and has been spayed and is now up for adoption!

So with no further adieu I'd like to introduce you to Pickles!

A Picture a Day...Monday, September 5, 2011

Been Long Gone...Missed My Audience!

Going to try and pick-up where I left off as best as I can...took the kiddos to the beach on Labor Day, I know what were we thinking? But hey when you live at the beach, its a lot easier than going on vacation, LOL!!!

Enjoy some of the shots I took that day!  I used the Sand/Snow Auto Setting on my camera so it would automatically change the exposure, f stop, and shutter speed!
