Its been so cold and cloudy lately. The sun came out today but it was still sweatshirt weather by baseball time tonight. I heard one of the varieties of trees in our area is dropping its leaves due to the sustained cold temps! Supposedly they grew new ones as it warms again. So these photos of blue skies and sunshine I took a few weeks ago snuck up on me in the nicest way today.
And to be honest, if you look really careful you may just discover which STINKERS are keeping me from being around very much, but I won't name any names. They are keeping me on my toes and running most of my day. So I laughed when I saw that even my lens knows the most important things to focus on when given multiple subjects!
Oh, wonderful!!!! I do so love your sense of humor!!! This is a great post!!! You are one terrific photographer! And I totally understand the time thing...Sorry about the cold snap, though. That's too bad as your summer break has begun...Wanted to let you know that the blog list include a broad variety of types of blogs and bloggers ;-) Robynn, of course, is one of the very best!!! Love to you! Janine XO
ReplyDeleteYour lens defiantly focuses well :)
ReplyDeleteI hope more blue skies and sunshine is headed your way
You take such beautiful pictures! What camera do you use?
ReplyDeleteHi Janine, I managed to get over to Jackie's last night and will have to check out the other blogs on your list, I am sure they will be great as well! My hubby and father in law are both actually photographers, and since I am around it so much, I am taking some steps to learn a little.
ReplyDeleteThanks Liss :) I emailed you back btw :) Enjoy your day off!
Robin, great kitty bokeh! It looks like a Ree bokeh picture with the light coming through, I love it!! Hugs to you sweety :)
Kaleena, thank you! My hubby and my father in law are both photographers, so I am spoiled in the camera department! I am using my father-in-law's (I think) Nikon D-100.
Very nice shot Vicky.:)
ReplyDeleteOut this end, it is quite hot.
You are in for a hectic summer as little boys tend to be very active. lol
Enjoy it while you can lol
They grow up and then you will miss it:)
Vic, that is so true! Very hectic and when we all adjust to this new schedule we will undoubtedly enjoy it more!
ReplyDeleteSoon the sun will stay for a bit. I have to believe that because too soon comes winter.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures.
Sweet Vicky...
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the comforting words you left regarding the loss of my beloved Binks. I do miss her terribly.. but do feel comfort from so many like you. I'm truely blessed to have such wonderful friends here in Blogland.
Hugs,
Debbie
You are so right about Janine. She is a very sweet person. I love your shots of the blooms....and isn't it amazing that the camera knew RIGHT AWAY how to focus on the most beautiful blossom(s) in the frame on the 3rd photo...
ReplyDelete~~Jackie
Oh, those two faces make me smile!!! I'm sure the summer will be beyond hectic with those two, but I always think these ages are when they make the best memories.
ReplyDeleteYou do have a great eye for photography you know. And I LOVE your profile shot, very pretty indeed!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that shot of your son unknowingly peeking through the leaves! :)
ReplyDeleteDr. John, so true, its here today so shortly I will be gone!!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, thinking of you during these sad days ahead but hoping for some peace and comfort as well!
Jackie, very amazing indeed how smart that camera is!! Thanks for stopping by :)
Gitz, you are absolutely right :) So very wise you are and you should know I listen to that wisdom!!
Lilly, I have found the internet makes it hard NOT to hone your skills if you really want to!! Thank you as always for your kind words :)
Sneaky Momma, it was indeed a sneaky peek!! Sorry, just had to go for the easy one :)
The BEST reason to be away from Blogsville - your kiddo diddos!!! And I love how they ended up in your "bokeh!" LOL I'm thinkin' you'll have TONS of material when you get done with a summer full of those two. :)
ReplyDeleteYesterday, I was driving through the neighborhood and got behind a group of several boys riding like heck on their bikes. Looked like scene out of ET. Being mom to one of these creatures I just knew they had somethin' up their sleeves and, I don't know, it just made me smile.
The photos are GREAT!!!! You are a good photographer, Vicky. We're slowly learning about our digital SLR. It's been fun.
P.S. Thank you for your nice comments I've seen about me! OMWORD!!
Robynn, so much material from those boys, no doubt :) I hope you enjoy your wonderful night tonight!! Thanks hon!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are great! The sunshine is good to see! We have had rain everyday this week!
ReplyDeleteYou have a gift with taking pics!
Missy, yeah, we had the rain too, old photos they were. But I officially got my first little touch of color by reading in the sun yesterday while the boys played in the yard, but the clouds are rolling back in... whoever knows these days:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful new profile picture, Vicky!!!!! Absolutely terrific!! And but of course...you are related to professional photographers...it shows!!! You are a natural! I will miss you a great deal while I'm away, but will look forward to catching up when I return!!! I treasure your friendship, and have been reluctant to take this break as I have recently had the opportunity to make such wonderful new friends...and that includes YOU!!! God bless you! Hugs, Janine X
