May Photo-A-Day 27MAY12
"Something Sweet"
mint and dark chocolate chips. YUM!
"Second Look"
I aimed the camera at these flowers, then looked away, moving the camera with me, and then took the photo as I moved back toward the flower.

"Where you stand"
sorry y'all have to see my Irish-Scottish-English white girl legs. Were you wearing sunglasses at least?
"Shapes"

"Something You Can't Live Without"
This will seem like an odd photo to illustrate that particular prompt, but it works for me. For whatever reason, sometime during the summer of 2010, I began having a strong interest in photography. I am not trained in any way, but I just can't imagine not seeing things through the lens of a camera and wanting to tell the story of what I see.

"A Favorite Place"
This photo was taken whilst taking a walk with Mike and Janet on Saturday after our grilled steak and potato dinner! They live on the west side of Galveston Island in a place called Indian Beach. I just can't help but love Galveston!
"Joy"
"Summertime and the living is easy"
I chose this one for 'Joy' cos this family looks happy and enjoying the moments when being part of a family is something so special. I still remember the summer I turned 14, we took a family vacation to South Padre Beach. I think Daddy rented a big family size tent from base and we stayed for about a week in a tent on the beach. I remember getting so burnt that for some of the last days, I had to wear a dish towel over my face to protect it from more sun! I looked like a weird modern day version of Jesse James. I also remember that I met a mom and son one day during that stay, and for whatever reason, during that conversation, I told them that I had just turned 14. What a weird thing to remember, yeah?

"What you're reading"
"Art"
This is just one page of the awesomely funny artwork Cressida Cowell did for her "How to Train Your Dragon" books. She is really, really funny. Honestly, I recommend her dragon books, even to grown-ups.

"Something you're proud of"
I'm proud of my creativity. On the right is a painting I did for a friend who is having a baby. In the middle is a hat I knitted and below it a necklace I designed and made. To the left is a veteran sticker on my car. I feel like it sounds ridiculous to say that I am proud of being a veteran--of having served our country, but I really am proud of it. Excepting becoming a Christian 20 years ago, I feel like those years were ones wherein I did the most important things I've done my whole life.
"A smell you adore"
This is a weird combination, I'm sure. But I love the smell of apples (they smell like Christmas) and oranges (they smell like sunshine and happiness) I also love the smells of basil and cilantro (sorry Rachel) and Rosemary. They make me happy!

MAY Photo-a-day 07MAY12
2 p.m. It is a good thing I set my cell phone alarm, otherwise, I would have passed up 2 p.m. for sure! Even when it started ringing, I thought, "Why is my alarm going off?" We were inside at that moment, and Pop was--by far--the most interesting thing happening!
"Something that inspires you."
Old Glory and everything she means. I realize this isn't an official Old Glory, but still--she makes me happy whenever I see her blowing in the wind on our porch. <3

May Photo-a-day challenge 06MAY12
"Contrast" I loved the light and dark greens in the leaves, plus the green and red--being complementary colors--seemed sorta contrast-y to me.
"Contrast" Later on, I went out to take a photo of my lavender blooms for a friend and it turned out like this, which seems to be the perfect pictorial definition of contrast, yeah?
"You"
May Photo-a-day challenge 05MAy12
"Bird"
This bird was singing and flying around in the garden center of the Silsbee Walmart
"Something Foreign"
This photo was taken when the light of day was dim. My camera always shakes when I take a photo without the flash and the light is low. I thought this photo turned out interestingly.
