Project 365|This and That!

A few days ago the leaves were still changing on the trees even though its almost Thanksgiving! We also got to meet our new neighbor! Hint…He’s not a person. And no we don’t live on a farm. :)But he has walked around the neighborhood with the girls before.

Yesterday we went to see the second to last Harry Potter movie!  Have you seen it? I’d tell you what I thought but I don’t want to ruin it for those of you that haven’t seen it…lol. I always think movies are better when going without any preconceived thoughts. I will tell you that I thought it had some dark parts that I thought were worse than the controversial nudity I keep hearing about. I really think you see a whole lot more skin at the pool! If you have little ones that get scared easily you might consider waiting…just a thought.:)I’d love to know your thoughts!:)

We got to meet the dude next door…can you guess which one he is? Hint…He isn’t wearing red.:)He is really nice though and will let you pet him on the head.

This morning we woke to a world of white…and yup I do have pictures to prove that it was really, really white and amazing and beautiful outside but I kinda like this one better….even though it doesn’t show the whole story.  Love the berries on this $7.00 tree.  I had planned to cut a few branches and stash them in a vase inside. I thought it would be a fun addition to the fall decor because I LOVE anything with berries. And anything FREE is good right!?…but that was 2 days ago…Mother nature had different plans, for now anyway!

What unusual things are in your neighborhood?:)Take a picture…it’ll be to fun to look back at!

Love all your photos! And that sheep is surprisingly cute.

Thanks Danelle! He is kind of fun and cute! And he was quite the surprise to have next door! :)

The one with berries is awesome!!! =) I want berry trees/bushes like that!

What I did last Saturday

I got to spend the day last Saturday taking an Advanced Pro Photography course from the ever impressive and amazing Brooke Snow! I’ll be honest, I’ve taken an advanced class before and wasn’t sure I would learn a whole lot from this class. I was wrong! Brooke taught things I didn’t know I wanted to learn!:)You should definitely check her out at Brooke Snow Photography
After spending the morning with Brooke and a few other amazing and fun photographers we got the chance to put into practice what we had learned. These models were so much fun and um yeah…can you say photogenic and gorgeous! Seriously…and what a fun location. I could have spent another hour there. So many fun things to use and photograph! To bad its a two hour drive!!:)Thanks Brook! You are awesome, I had a blast!

I suppose I should go make dinner. The darn house fairy did not show up again!:)

I Heart Faces | Breast Cancer Awareness

Every single year way to many woman die from breast cancer.

Women in the U.S. have a 1 in 8 lifetime chance of developing invasive breast cancer and a 1 in 33 chance of breast cancer causing their death. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 40,000 women die from breast cancer annually.
If you are old enough and you haven’t had a yearly mammogram, pick up the phone and make that appointment now.

Don’t let a few minutes of being inconvenienced slip by and cause you and your loved ones unnecessary pain.

If its been longer than a year and you think you’ll be fine, think again…don’t brush it off. My bosses breast cancer was found during her yearly mammogram. Had she not gone, she wouldn’t be here today.

Early detection is SO important. Stop Cancer before it stops you.

nice processing. what a lovely PINK photo challenge this week!

I really like the expression on her face. Lovely shot!

Nice pink tint, very well done.

Awe…thank you so much! I was a little unsure about posting this photo because the pink tint is a little different look. :)

Thanks again for your kind words!

i absolutely LOVE it. The intense expression on her face is perfect for this challenge, and I love the pink tint, very different but it totally works for this photo

Love the pink tones through this photo – so great. And her hat is awesome!

Lovely shot! Love the pink tint.

Love the pink tome and the smirk on her face.

Beautiful picture Catherine. Great job!

I heart faces | Fix-it-friday

I am completely 110% in LOVE with this photo taken by Angie Arthur.

For some reason I could not get the RAW file to open for me so I could play with the WB. So…I played with the color balance. Then I ran…

Florabella’s Vintage Wine at about 20 percent, Sweet Vintage at 44 percent and Soft Color pop at 44 percent.

I warmed up the photo a couple of times, and than did a boost and sharpen.

And then I tried to figure out how I could fly to this location to do a photoshoot! Is this not the most gorgeous place!? I’m in LOVE! I know, I know…I already said that!:)Its true though!

Make sure to check out all the other edits at I Heart Faces!
