Golden Summer

Summer weather around here is perfect even though it gets too hot which would in fact be the perfect weather for swimming but we only have a baby pool so its not too refreshing. And for our local pool its now $5 to get in and I really don't want to pay that much to go to the pool to go swimming for only 2hrs or less. But anyway time for summer golden hour sun flares!


We were leaving a soccer game and my sister handed me her camera and ran off to do who knows what and I wa-la, the golden hour happened! I took some pictures and got this one, with fairy dust magically coming from the sun.


And this one with a sun flare and some bokeh. I love it when that happens :)

I am hoping to participate in Scavenger Hunt Sunday tomorrow night but since I will be at a soccer tournament all day that I may or may not be playing in we will see what happens :)

Pictures of a tree aka these are the only photos I have

1. Let me explain, these aren't literally the only photos I have, just the only ones that aren't ancient. You may know that I lost my camera somewhere in a unknown foreign place, that means probably somewhere in my room buried in who knows what. But anyway since my sisters isn't actually mine I don't get to use it whenever I want so then I have to use my phone for pictures... But these two pictures below were taken with her camera.


2. I never posted about the new trees we got in the fall because I put it off for like a week, then another week and then I forgot about it just like all the other things I forget to post about. But anyway, I don't remember what kind of tree this is but I do for a fact that it is a kind of tree. It took some hard studying to figure that out.



3. Another thing I stupidly never posted about was the fact that Dancer (the stray kitty that came to our house in the winter) had five kittens in like...March? Its true that I didn't get any good pictures of them and still haven't but still. We got my mother to give in and keep one (his name is Hungry/Boe and his farts stink.) so we still have one and hey maybe I will have a little photo shoot with him? And then never actually post about it?


4. I have finally come to terms with the fact that quality over quantity is better. In this case meaning blog posts. I visited a blog last week and I realized she posts about two times in a week  and a half and every time she posts her posts are awesome so I totally get it now! Go me!

5. One of my three hens has decided to go broody. It all started out at night last week when I was putting them away but I couldn't find her so I automatically starter to think the worst and think that she had been eaten by a stupid raccoon or some other animal. Then she came out the next day making broody noises (I just call it that for no apparent reason...it means she was blabbing nonstop) and I thought, hey she sounds like a broody hen! Then I realized. Dude we don't have a rooster so her eggs won't be fertilized and so she is sitting on a secret nest for nothing! And I feel bad so I plan on tracking her down and like...doing something about it.


P.S... Its time for me to re-design my blog again! Its been like two)ish) whole months so it. is. time.

Some Kind of Fruit Tree

Uno: I went outside at 9:00am and came in around 9:00pm. That is 12 whole hours outside actually working on the chicken pen, cutting the grass with scissors (yes I wanted to mow the lawn so bad I was using scissors. Not having a mower will do that to a person), watching twin baby girls (goats) be born, being a crazy person, and watching chicks be chicks.

Dos: I took this picture last weekend, all of the flowers are gone now and won't be back for like, a year. It depends on if Spring decides to be late again or not. I also have no idea what kind of fruit come from this tree. 



Tres: I love breaking sunglasses. I laid down on my all time favorites last weekend and started flipping out. I ended up missing them so much that I went back to the store where I got them and got an identical pair, for $2.50 more then I originally got them for. BOOO!

Quatro: I could go on and on about how happy I am that we are FINALLY building the chicken pen. I mean I have been waiting so long! I knew what I wanted to do but we never got supplies until last weekend. But yay for finally starting! Pictures coming sometime in the next 10 years!

Sinco: What were you like when you were 13? You may not be able to tell but I am seriously CRAZY, WEIRD and QUIRKY. Remember earlier in this post when I said  was cutting the lawn with scissors? That is just an example.

Vacation Flowers :)

No words today... I got back from my mini vacation today and played a soccer game (I scored 4 goals!) and now I have to go sleep sleep sleep because I have to wake up really early for the team I am the officially unofficial assistant coach of :) So are a few flower pictures that I took...


I figured it would be totally cool to use my sunglasses as a picture tint :)

Self Portraits

Hei! When I found about 4 Photo Ways from Nina I was SO excited. I don't really do any self portraits and so it was a perfect opportunity for me to practice! Also you might notice that my face is not in any of them...my mom just so happens to be very wary about letting us put our faces all over the internet so its a no no for me! Although I definitely would, she is a bit of a butt (kidding? mom if you are reading this, you know I stay stuff like this all the time even though I don't mean it, sometimes.) so this is what you get! And if I do say so myself I got a little bit of creativity going on :)


If you had driven by while I was doing this you would probably stop and ask if I was having seizures. At least that is what I imagine. I set up my tripod and a 10 second timer and since I have no since of time whatsoever I was literally jumping around like crazy for 10 seconds over and over. It wasn't a pretty sight but it was definitely fun!


And then for this one I was standing in our road (only like 3 cars go down our road per hour!) and spinning, running, jumping and twirling while taking tons of photos and hoping I got lucky. Which I think I did!


You may already know that I love my curly red hair (please note that the red hair is not natural. I love dying my hair.) so that means I take pictures of it, I'm cool like that.


Once again, I'm in the road. I think this counts even though I didn't take it, my big sister did. She also got a awesome (seriously awesome) photo of my mid burp! I almost never burp so it was a good moment to document.

Oh and hey, isn't my purple tie-dye skirt awesome? I got it as a hand-me-down and love it! Also there is in fact lilac purple in it so it counts for the Nurture Photography challenge prompt, right? 

I hope you enjoyed visiting! I love new followers... *wink wink*

Searching For Green


1. Tomorrow is going to be the first sunny day in almost a week and I plan on being outside all day working on all kinds of different things. I can't wait!


2. We have a bunch of tulips coming up but I doubt any of them will bloom. They are so deep in the ground!


3. As I write this it is snowing/hailing on one side of the house and the other side has blue skies and no snow. Weird.


4. I think Blake Shelton is absolutely hilarious. And I could probably watch him all day.

5. The kittens are getting SO big! They will be four weeks old tomorrow and are so cute... Now that I think of it I don't think I even said anything about them being born :O Maybe pictures sometime in the next week though!

Splishy Splashy...


1. We might get 2 dozen chicks from our neighbor today. I am so excited!!! They are ameraucana/barred rock/rohde island red mix so they will most likely be very interesting looking!


2. It snowed today. Its already gone but that is not the point! The point is that it is April and it is snowing, which is wrong. I do have some tulips coming up, but my sisters goats think that it is a good idea to eat them, naughty goats.


3. We do not have and turquoise around here, but we do have lots of splash! Raining for a whole week straight will do that.

4. I will try to get some real spring photos for you all to share nest Friday when the nurture prompt is Green. There actually is some of that around here...

5. Seeing and reading about Nicki's spring and gorgeous weather is making me think that I need to move somewhere where Spring actually happens before May or June. Any ideas of where? Not California!

*UPDATE* Me and my big sister are just about to go and get the baby chicks!!! Soooo excited.

Nurture Spring...

I don't play around with photos nearly as much as I used too. I have actually grown into a stage where I don't actually want to edit my pictures at all, I still do though. One thing I've almost never done to my photos is convert them to black and white. I am actually hoping to start dabbling some here and there, and I want to know what you all think! If any of you have any tips on black and white photography I would love to hear!
Okay picture time.


I realized that when planning this post that it would mean easter eggs two days in a row which I really didn't want to do. But since we don't have yellow here yet, I didn't have much of a choice.

Instead of doing full on black and white I did focal black and white, so there was still color.

I'm not really sure if I like it or not. But I'm working on it :)

So, any black and white tips?

My Random 5



1. I am currently learning the cup song. And it is awesome. Even though it annoys my dad, a lot.

2. I am going to a fantastically awesome and fun soccer practice tonight. And then I have a soccer game on both Saturday and Sunday :)

3. On Wednesday instead of sharing one recipe, I will be sharing two! The picture above is one of them, but the other will be a surprise :)

4. I want to know what you want to see here on my blog! If you read my blog often and know what I post regularly but would like to see more, let me know what you would like to see and I will see what I can do :)

5. Pinterest is my secret best friend, no joke. 



the long road

Breathe

I was able to get outside and breathe, I haven't been able to get out there in awhile so it was nice to see what little color there is. I took lots of macros but here are just a few...
