I think it’s pretty fitting that the title is “we made it” and that this is one of my favorite ways to shut out the day.  It’s just stopping and taking a breath.

So, yes.  We made it through this year’s Feb Photo Fest, and we made it through the day.  🙂

Yesterday was apparently national margarita day here in the US.  I mean, seriously.  Did you think we would pass up the opportunity to celebrate.  I think not.

There IS a margarita there.  Hint: foreground. Yep.  That’s it.  🙂

Might not be obvious, but there are a couple of sneaky things going on this picture.

First, the bird feeder.  Yeah, it’s there, I’ll give you a minute.  We had to get special ones because the doves (we call them Duh’vs) swipe the bird food.  They’re actually squirrel proof, but work really well to control the size of birds we’re interested in feeding.   There’s a practical tip for the day.

Second, the shot.  Sneaking behind trying to stealthily get a picture that you can have some fun with.  That’s the real reason for the FPF project, right??  “Oh, sorry.  I just, I don’t, we have, I needed… a PICTURE!”  Heh.

In the month of Feb, you’re not allowed to think for 3 seconds without my trying to capture it.  Thanks Molly. 🙂

Sometimes, a simple picture is best.  Red, White and Blue for President’s Day here in the US.  Happy Monday!

Playing around with some new toys (especially after the (C) debacle earlier) and thought I’d share a pic that features a couple of different things applied to it.

Charmer was wearing this lace-up, crazy-inducing, slightly-see-through black top and, of course, I thought “Hey! What a cool picture for FPF!” (OK, so perhaps that’s not all I thought).

Two of the exact same shot.  Which do you prefer?

This was an outtake from the “Change” prompt that fit pretty well too with the whole negative space thing.  Thought it was a funky angle and fun picture all around.

So, yeah… “Hey buddy, can ya spare a dime?” seems pretty on-point. 🙂

We were heading out for date night and I realized – we were both wearing boots.  What a perfect opportunity (nay, EXCUSE) to take a picture from above.  Aren’t the boots great?!

The view from above of those boots really gave me pause.  I really love the shape of them, the show off against the clothes so well.  The lines, curve of the front of the boot, just really like it.

Do you like boots?

I could stare at boots all day long.

But then I’d probably get slapped.

Having some fun today with the reds…

We were goofing around, looking to get a picture of the wonderful locks on Charmer (I’m biased, of course).

In the spirit of the photo fest – it’s harder than it may seem to get interesting pictures (and correctly colored pictures) of someone’s hair.  We experimented with and without flash and the coloring was completely different.  This is one of the things I love about this meme, an excuse to experiment!

It’s game day and Charmer is ready to go…

Happy Feb Photo Fest Day 5!
