250/365 A little help

Tonight the kids went bowling with Vacation Bible School at our church. I thought this was too cute not to share. The little one getting help from an adult.

249/365 Finalist

About a month ago, I had the opportunity to take some photos for a local business called "Sweet Blessings, Custom Cupcakes". I then submitted one of my photos to a photo contest (topic, food). Today found out that my photo is a finalist! The camera store hosting the contest has blown up the pic to 16x20 and shown in the town's Art Walk where the people get to vote for their favorite. You know where I'll be on Saturday :)

248/365 Bird on a Wire

Nights like these make me wish we lived in the country with no other homes around so I could watch the sunset as it disappeared over the horizon. I was looking out my back door and noticed this lone bird on the telephone/electrical wire with the clouds behind it. I realize I could have decreased my ISO even more, but was happy with the exposure, so I left it alone.

I thought I'd give you something else other than fishing pictures today.

First is a MACRO of birch tree bark - While I was sitting waiting for my hubby to catch some fish I looked around to see what I could take a photo of.
