from the beach

I took these way back in August during our vacation to Virginia, but never got around to editing and sharing them until now.  These were all taken from the balcony in our hotel room on the first morning we were there.  It was raining, or else just had been.  But it was beautiful.

No idea who this guy is...He was technically "supposed" to be in the picture.  Tsk, tsk.

This was our complete view - so lovely.

Throwing in this shot of our railing here.  Love those raindrops.

which is your favorite?



By the way, thank you for your votes on my poll.  I'm currently planning some rather exciting posts for the coming week - tutorials, photos, perhaps even a photo challenge if I can get my act together.  And the answers to your questions, too.  Be sure to see below.

So long, lovelies!

big photo challenge :: is combining cheating?

I'm taking a break from I Heart Faces this week (wasn't really on the ball, I'm quite under the weather right now) but I decided to join the Big Photo Challenge at Adorible Photography instead.  This week's theme is Black and White, and last week's theme (which is still open) was Signs. 

 You'll never guess what I decided to do.

Does one's mind work better when it one's head is aching horribly?
'Cause I feel extremely smart.

I really hope that I'm not breaking some unspoken rule about how you can't make one photo apply to two themes and use it in the same post.

Yes, that's what I did.  Take a look...

A lovely black and white sign.  I took this in on our trip to Williamsburg.  I wish I could have gone in here - doesn't it look just darling?  I love how vintage this looks.

So, now that I've just proved to you how smart I really am (wink, wink) pop on over to Adorible Photography to learn more about their lovely photo-challenges.  Just click below...

i heart faces :: beach fun!

This week's theme for I Heart Faces is "Beach". So I thought of this one of Megan from our trip to Virginia.  She was digging an epicly massive hole one day when she found this rock. 

 I love her wind-blown hair here.

More "Beach Fun" at I Heart Faces this week...

Those Sweet Candid Moments...

...Are often the very best ones.

  ♥I love these♥

I Heart Faces :: Gotta Wear Shades!

We're celebrating sunglasses at I Heart Faces this week - how fun of an idea is that?!  I don't have anything extremely amazing or unique for this week's challenge, but I do have plenty of lovelies in my folders that would qualify for the theme.  Looking back at our Virginia Beach vacation (which I really, really, really need to edit!) I found this one of my sweet Godfather...

Taken on the dolphin-watching cruise we went on - lots of fun! I love how you can see the reflection of the deck in his glasses:-)

Head over to I Heart Faces for more photos... 

And I'd love to hear your thoughts as well, my dears!

Sweetness

I must have looked a little weird sticking my ginormous camera lens through the seat behind me and taking no less than fifty pictures, but can you blame me?  Tuesday was Stephens first time flying, and well, the photos tell you the rest:-)
