There was more.....

There were more families:





This was a Christmas present for their mother, I have been told mother cried! That makes me happy--I was able to get this done quickly for them!

well...

There was a family photo shoot:





There of course was more photos but I think everyone gets the idea.

While away

This is the photo that I used for Bills Lawn Care Christmas card this year.
I intend to do some more before and afters, but right now I am catching up with blogging. It's been a while!

So, I had to do our X-mas family photos, and our x-mas card:






And of course our x-mas card came out of these:

Since I have been so busy with the house refurbishing, I haven't had time to add a blog in what seems like forever! So I spent the day working on a few before and afters to share.

This hardly makes up for a three week absence, but it will have to do for now! Working on more!

Another before and after.

My goal with the before and afters, is to show the sort of twist I can put on a picture.  I have a lot of fun editing.  This is a photo of me, yes shot by me as well ( it's magical how I do it)

Before

After

This will be my theme for a bit.

Before and After

When I was out taking fall shots, I seen this house, which I initially thought was abandoned and of course that caught my eye more than the bright yellow tree.  When I realized that the house was not abandoned I settled for this shot.  But settling doesn't mean that I can't imagine it's abandoned and spooky! Take a look:

More contrast

Of the fall photos I have been taking, at this point this one is my favorite. It has great contrasting colors!

This shot caught my eye because only one tree in the bunch still had leaves and they were such a bright color!

Fall?

Since I missed the weekend, I thought I would make up for it with some fall colored trees.



.

From here, I will go away from trees.

difference

How about some different trees?

These are the intoxicated trees.


The Spanish moss trees, I like these ones.

And just for Halloween, the spooky trees

Hard Days night!

This evening I have some more Florida trees.
The palmetto tree


A squirrel resting on a tree!!

Guess what?

There are so many photos in my bridge waiting for me to pay attention to them.    It seems as if we have been going crazy since we got home from vacation.  Anyway, I forgot about these trees we seen when we went to Saint Augustine, Florida.  We stopped at what we thought was the fort, and actually turned out to be one of the towers that they used to communicate with.  Well anyway, it is turned into a park and trail area and you can take a boat down to the tower.  In the drive way they have these trees:



They were so big I couldn't fit them into my lens without getting run over!

Here again!

In these next few posts I wanted to share some trees. 

This one is another one from the air boat ride. These trees were fascinating to me. The shape of them and they are kind of creepy looking!


This was a night time shot while we stopped at Flaglar beach. You might notice the palm trees, tee hee!


This tree is not from Florida. This is a Georgia tree. It was along the highway. What I found interesting about these was the vines covering it.  It was also cool that the trees were not really close.

Where have I been?

Sick, along with the rest of the world!  My husband was sick and I was lucky enough to catch it from him.  It's possible that he may have got it from my son.  So I am going to try to get back on track and at least one photo a day!



I am going to give you some trees. This one is one I seen while we were on the air boat in Florida.

Space Center

So we stayed on Cape Canaveral while we were in Florida.  Well you have to go to the Kennedy space center if you stay there.  Most of what we seen was on a bus so some of these shots are taken from inside the bus.



This building is seen from a bus, you have to have special permission or work for NASA to get passed the gates, so this shot is on the bus. This building is where they build the rocket.

One building you stop at has a movie you get to watch and this was painted one of the walls, then you get to walk through a museum area.

I got to touch the moon!!



We rode it! It's not what you expect! There was tons more that we seen while we were there, It actually took a good portion of the day. This is the stuff I wanted to share!
Now if you don't know, the land around NASA is all wild life area, there are signs that tell you "give em a break" for the animals! Anyway, we were in one of the museums and these birds are all over, but they liked this building:
