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!

Please Don't Splash my Camera...

As promised, some more pool pictures from last weekend.

(Coming very late, of course.  Those of you who read my main blog would freak out if they were on time any way, so why not?)

I'm just wondering, does any one else get as worried as I do that a rambunctious, in-the-moment sibling is going to splash and completely break your camera?  Like beyond-repair break your camera?

Not that I wouldn't mind them having to pay me back for it, but the problem is, Stephen simply doesn't have the money to buy a new camera for me.  I hate to repeat myself, but that's a {big} problem.

To prevent this, I have to stay far away from the action and use my not-so-great zoom to try to capture moments like these...

And then these....

{trying out my new watermark here.  Like it?}

I *do* love taking pictures at the pool though.  And most importantly, my camera is still alive and able to prove it. :)  Ahh, life is good.

Pool | Sneak Peek

Just a sneak-peek at a few pool photos I plan to post on here soon....

Rainin' Up a Storm

 

Last Tuesday it was storming and raining like crazy.  After downpour number three, I headed down to our garage to take some photos of the storm.

{My attempt to get a lightning shot - I got the cool cloud at least.  Ha!}

Then...

It started downpouring.  Again.

And our gutter was having a field day.

 I love these photos. =)

After the rain had died down, I braved the thunder and came out of the garage to photograph our beautiful hanging flower plants with raindrops on them.  Ohhhhh, love these!

{Taken of the our window from the inside}

I've officially decided that I love rain photos.  A lot.
