I LOVE pictures. I make no claims to be a great photographer, but I do enjoy snapping shots and documenting life. I am inspired by this photo "game" to look at the world in a different way and try to relay it to others as I see it; though my lens.
I am 29 (and holding, thank you) Married 6 years (and counting) to my high school sweetheart. Raising 2 beautiful children: Sweet Pea, nearly 3 (going on teenager) and Little Man, 1 (where does the time go?!) and 2 dogs: 90lb Boxer (our first baby) and 74lb mostly Hound mutt we adopted. I blog for myself mostly, but also to share and stay connected with family and friends.
This one was difficult for me, because I was actually encouraging Dellaina to play in her food (or just hold what she was doing on her own for a little bit longer)! Not surprisingly then, she was quite willing to help me out on these pictures, unlike most.
This is one you'll need to click to enlarge to fully appreciate. Look carefully at the 3rd Giraffe that is facing the camera. I know that is one skill I am not envious of and I'm highly appreciative that my kids won't be able to do it either; it's hard enough keeping their fingers out of their noses! I didn't notice it the first couple times I looked at this picture, because I was focused on the different spot patterns and how the 3rd giraffe also has star bursts within his spots. Then, I noticed the subtle tongue, laughed out loud and thought "yummy" and the light bulb went off! I was excited to have a slightly different take for the category that wasn't directly related to food!
Otters from our recent trip to the Atlanta Zoo. These guys were really intent on watching the garbage man come empty the trash cans! They were so squeaky and moved as a pack when they heard him coming! It was like the highlight of their day - you'd think he was coming to feed them or something. I just love how the one in the back is propping up on the others to get a better view. It was quite amusing to watch and an unexpected find for the game! yea!
This picture is deceiving in that it appears steady and precise with surprisingly good technique and form, but trust me, it's quite the effort on her part to cut anything, much less slippery fruit pieces! But, of course, like most 2 year olds, she insists on doing it herself.
