Random Photos I've Been Taking

 I have been trying to force myself to use my new camera even more.. one day I'll set the F stop, another day I'll change the ISO setting, etc.  to try and familiarize myself with how the camera works.  Though In all honesty I still rely on auto focus a lot and can still get frustrated with trying to get the camera to capture the shot I have pictured in my head.

    Those pictures turned out good. I say keep practicing. I have a DSLR, and soon everything becomes second nature. :)

      Thank you! I don't always feel like I understand what I'm doing but at least I do know a good photo when I see it. :)

    I think you're doing great! It's crazy how complicated it can be to get the picture we want.

    Taking pictures is so much fun! I used to take more but sort of quit even though I enjoy it so much! And I need to play around more with the setting because I know I don't get the best use out of my Canon DSLR camera.
    These pictures are fantastic!

    I’m highly impressed! The pictures with the dew on the leaves are my favorite. Seems like you’re starting to get the hang of your new camera 💗

    Looks to me like you have done very well in figuring out your new camera. Beautiful photos. Love the photo of the leaf with the red tips. It's kind of like a maple leaf but I don't think it is. And the captures of the water droplets on the brown leaves. Lovely!

    Your photos are gorgeous! I really enjoyed them. I think taking a good photo depends on the photographer more than the camera. I would never think of taking a picture of a tree the way you did. I wish I had the eye you have!

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white
