Is It Spring Yet?
It was such a gorgeous day yesterday!
74 degrees, the sun peeking out now and then from the overcast sky...
perfection!
Poor Mother Nature is confused or eager to get started on a brand new year of life. Buds are popping up all over town...
I've been dreaming about these days hanging out in the sunshine, swaying in the hammock, watching the sky. My heart was full as I soaked up the sun, felt the gentle breeze, rocked slowly and listened to the laughter of my children as they ran around the yard with their friends. I hope this beautiful warmer weather is here to stay so the spring and summer months take up most of the year!

Macro Monday
Thought I'd post a little Macro Monday for old times' sake.
Math Fact Review with my boys: 10 millimeters equals 1 centimeter.
Have a great week!
Mommy Moment:
Joshua (8) woke up and came to tell me that he woke up shorter.
According to this, I think he's incorrect:
Jeremiah's bad joke of the day:
Where does the General keep his Armies?
In his sleevies.

Mad face...
Playing with different lighting again...
I found Joshua playing by the wonderful window light and I took a few shots of him per my usual style. Then I decided to try something different and use split lighting. He wasn't interested in my idea so I told him he could make a mad face (knowing it would fit with this style of lighting! haha) and this is what I ended up with. Even though he's not happy, I still kind of like this of him...

This House Thursday: Homeschool Field Trip...
One day Joshua said he wanted to be a fireman. So, being the good mommy, I arranged a homeschool field trip to the fire station. That morning Joshua said he didn't want to go. lol
We went anyway and he was so excited to see a fire rescue boat and see the big ladder truck pull out, sirens blaring, on it's way to a call. He didn't want to leave my side (he was practically in my pocket!) so I took pics of other kids for their moms and to document our outing. When the others filed out to continue the tour, Joshua let me snag a pic of him by the fire truck. Since the crowd was gone, he even let the fire fighter put him on the truck and pose for a pic with him. Even though he didn't smile for my camera, inside he was beaming!

Tricks...
Just for fun, I've been experimenting with different lighting lately. While these are not turning out to be anything extraordinary (or even well done or interesting!), it has been fun to try new things and be inspired to use these techniques in other applications.
Please ignore the tree coming out of his head and other distracting things in the background.My goal was to preserve some blue sky and a little sun glow while lighting his face with off camera flash (OCF)...
This was just more OCF, I put it in the room behind him...
I set some small flashlights in his lap to light up the book and bounce up to light his face...
Goofing off with double exposures. I set the shutter to a really slow shutter speed (2 seconds?) and we were in a pitch black room. I handheld a flash to fire immediately and then again after he ran toward the camera. It was all fun and games until someone got hurt... he ran into the camera! lol
These images are SO different from my personal likings and some are just down right creepy! But, again, it helps me to think more creatively about using different lighting to achieve new looks to my images!

Brotherly Breakfast...
I love when a simple moment like breakfast turns into brother bonding time. This time it was over a book of Eye Spy...

This House on Thursday...
Joshua and I went on a little outing the other day. It's so fun to see what he wants to shoot and watch him in action. He's so cute, too!
After capturing him, I turned to capture his subject...
But I admit, I like his shot much better...
He enjoyed all the neighbors' statues! He found several on our short jaunt around the block...
I like how the branches point up toward the flag...
This one of his is super fun to me with the bright trail going in the opposite direction...
His view of me while I was shooting him...

This House on Thursday: Handy Man...
Joshua decided he wanted to build things. We picked up a kit for him and daddy added a mini tool box complete with a mini hammer. My little guy was thrilled! He dug out an old vest, a hard hat and a pair of goggles to complete the part. Love my adorable little Roo!
