You Capture: Your Real Life

Beth’s assignment was a bit of a challenge this week, which seems to be the norm lately! I guess she’s trying to get us thinking or something!

Anyway, an idea presented itself last night. I had just put the boys to bed and was settling down onto the couch to catch up […]

You Capture: Free Choice

This week was a free choice for photo subject over at Beth’s You Capture site. We were lucky enough to get a pass for a behind-the-scenes tour at the zoo again this year, so I’m going to share photos from our tour this past Sunday.

I love the flamingos. I also love […]

You Capture: Autumn

I enjoyed the assignment this week. I’ve always loved the colors on the trees at this time of year. And when Beth suggested we take a drive and capture something new, I took advantage. It was a beautifully sunny day here last Saturday, just begging for me to head out for a […]

You Capture: Technology

I really wasn’t sure if I felt like participating this week. I’ve been sick, so I’m just not up to full speed. Then I thought about the assignment, Technology, a little more, and realized I had a good idea.

I watch a lot of TV. A. LOT. I like it, okay? And […]

You Capture: Still Life

I have about a million pictures to edit from our awesome weekend in Las Vegas, and I’m just not that excited to do it. I’ve been recovering from the weekend, sleeping whenever possible. I haven’t even taken my camera out of the bag since Sunday. I think I just needed […]

You Capture: The color red

It’s You Capture day, and I actually planned ahead as I’m heading out to Las Vegas for a long weekend with the hubby, my parents, my brother and sister-in-law, my aunt, and other friends and family members of my cousin’s to celebrate his 40th birthday. It should be a great […]

You Capture: The Feeling of Fall

The timing of this challenge was perfect! We headed out to The Elegant Farmer (home of the famous Apple Pie Baked in a Paper Bag) on Sunday to do some apple picking and pumpkin selecting. It was a gorgeous day to start, but then the wind picked up and we got rained […]

You Capture: Happiness

Normally, I’m a pretty happy person. I’m an optimist, I try to see the good in everyone, and I smile a lot. This week has been a tough week for me. -I worked most of the day on Saturday, missing Noah’s soccer game, during which he scored a couple of goals. -Monday […]

You Capture: Macro

I wasn’t the biggest fan of this week’s challenge. Beth is apparently feeling we are ready to get tough! I dream of having a macro lens and capturing amazing shots of inner workings of all things. I would love to be able to get shots of drops of water like this (another […]

You Capture: Never before

I was really tempted to skip this week (again!) because Beth gave us a really difficult challenge! We were to take a picture of something we’ve never done before. It sounds simple, but it means stepping outside of our comfort zone of picture taking. I mostly take pictures of my boys, or […]
