images of the day

I managed to tear myself away from Edward and Bella long enough to update my blog.

It seems the change of seasons has left me with nothing exciting to write about...yet. So, I bring you...

Caroline and the Camera (Episodes 1 & 2)


Episode 1 - Little Caroline takes pictures...of EVERYTHING!

Little Caroline (I'll call her LC) got a hold of the digital camera the other day while she was here and she went crazy. I'll spare you the really exciting pictures - Wesley's ear, me on the phone, the tv as the Veggie Tales movie Jonah was playing - and I'll show you some of the better pics from our fun day.



She had me take these since I have long arms. Did you know that if you arch your eyebrows just slightly in pictures it makes you look younger...or really stupid.



Here she is demonstrating her camera skills - not bad, but Lijah is done with paparazzi.


Episode 2 - My Experimentation with Photography



You've been privy to many a picture I've taken and never left a bad comment. I thank you for that and ask that you continue that tradition even after viewing these. Our yard happens to be very shady in spots and very sunny in others. I don't like simply using the automatic settings on the camera - I prefer to branch out and try to do it manually, choosing my own specs or whatever. The upside to this experimentation is that while the picture may stink, the subject is always redheaded perfection.



12 coins in my pocket:

I love your pictures!! I like experimenting too but haven't had the chance to lately. Could you give me some ideas on some devotional books. I purchased a Beth Moore book yesterday and can't wait to start reading!!!

Love the pictures...from BOTH of you. And he is redheaded perfection. But should he be outside without protective headgear, or do his mishaps only occur while y'all are inside?

I had to say it, Caroline!

Go read some more...you're pages away from the can't-put-it-down parts. OK, so the whole series is pretty much that way, but especially the last 1/4 of Twilight. Yep.

BBB said...

Yeah - you can't take a bad picture when you have a cute kid!

And really... aren't all kids cute?

I just finished Twilight! Now I'm trying to get my grubby little 13-year-old hands on New Moon or whatever the next one is. Out on a Limb and I are seeing the movie when it comes out on November 21. Wanna come? :)

I think the shots are great and fun!

Cute kids = great shots in my book! the lighting isn't bad either!

Karin @ 6ByHisDesign said...

You're always fun in may book, Caro --- and your pictures match: FUN!

When you have great material you cannot take a bad picture.

Thanks for the tip on the eyebrows. I need more on how to not look haggish in my pictures.

Did you see what happened to me today - I do not know how you handled all the SITS love but I got loved today from BATW. What a surprise, and what a riot.

I did know about the arched eyebrow trick. Works every time.

I have not fallen off the face of the earth and hopefully will be back a little more. I did get your card and call- thank you! We were at PF Changs on my birthday night and I was eating an oh-so-festive meal of wonton soup and fried rice, thanks to evening sickness. It actually was a good meal. Let's catch up in the next day or so. I bought the redhead his birthday card today! I wish his party was next weekend.

I love the pics and the redhead is getting sooo big!
