These little guys were playing in the waves -- swimming and jumping right in front of us.  It was so much fun to watch!!  Having a great time in Mexico!!

Bokeh

I took several pictures that I liked for this challenge, but this one made me smile.  It looked like this sad, deformed flower was just hovering in space with no stem to support it!!  I also liked the colors in the background and how out of focus they were.  The other ones were "cuter" but I just had to go with this little guy!! :)

Something orange

I'm trying to get ready to head out for eight days, so needless to say laundry is high on my list of "to-dos" today!  That light has been glowing most of the day! :)

I was sitting out front on my new little patio reading a book today when I heard a noise.  I looked up and there was a hawk not ten feet in front of me staring at me with feathers flying everywhere.  It had landed on a little bird that had been sitting there probably looking for a meal itself.  The hawk looked at me, then grabbed the little bird in its talons and flew off right over the pond.  I was in shock!!!  I wish I had had my camera with me, but as much as it surprised me I don't think I would have even thought to pick it up and snap the picture.

Here's what is left of the little guy. :(

Eyes

I just love his big brown eyes.  Too bad he can't sit still for half a second to get a good photo.  He definitely challenged my patience in getting this shot!!! ;)

Yourself with 13 things

I thought of several things I could find 13 of and take a photo of, but then I realized I had to be in it too and that made it a little bit more challenging.  It would have to be something I could hold in my hand and photograph.  I thought about taking a picture of my hand with 13 rings but discovered I don't even have 13 rings (Anne will be so ashamed!!!).  That led to bracelets which I did happen to have enough of, so here it is.......

Sunset

And here is one of the problems with trying to take the photo on "the day".........

Not much of a sunset, but it was the best I could get under the conditions!! :)  Guess that's what happens in real life though.  We don't always have the setting we want!!!

Here's a blue eyed boy in his new blue sleeping bag.  He can't wait for "boy camping".

Childhood memory

This was a hard one for me to come up with last time too, but I just realized my kids have something I was only allowed to have at Grandma's house when I was a kid:

Fruit

Sad but this was the only fruit I had in the house.  Almost resorted to one of my kids eating a fruit cup!! :)

From a low angle

For some reason I like pictures that have interesting lines and symmetry.  Thought it might be cool to photograph our chandelier!

From a high angle

Bonus:  If I had to caption this, I'd say he's either thinking, "How much longer until summer and this thing being full?" or "I sure hope my mom isn't noticing my toy car down there - I'm gonna be busted!!!"

Something green

I can't remember what I did last time, but I always seem to do flowers and plants outside.  I thought I would try something different this time, so I looked and looked around my house for something green to photograph.  Adam had several suggestions - nah!  I found some guacamole chips - turned out boring.  So.......outside I headed!!  The whole reason I wanted to do this challenge again in the spring was because of all the beautiful scenery outside!!  Took several different shots but liked this one best! :)

I'm trying to catch up from screwing up the photograpy challenge I was supposed to start two days ago, so here are the first three days all at once........

Day 1 - self-portrait

Day 2 - What I wore today (and am actually still wearing, because ya know I'm trying to get caught up!!)
Day 3 - Clouds
Whew -- I think I'm caught up now!!! :)  I'll see if I can stay on track better in the future. 

And here are Jeni's from Day 1 and Day 2:

Brenda and Alexxa (and maybe Todd?) will be taking pictures as well which can be viewed at her blog again.  You can also see Amber's on her blog.  Enjoy!!
