Sweet Shot Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!!!  This is my Sweet Shot entry for this week!  It's a little snap of my boy when we were on a walk one day.   He's posed but I like his soft expression.  Make sure you click on the link below and check out some more sweet shots! :)

Time with Carter

 

Here are a couple of shots taken mid July at Neil's pond.  It was the most perfect evening. It was hot, sunny and still.  Keely was busy and Carter was bored.  So he and I decided to go for a little walk with the dog hoping to cool down and have a swim.

We found a sunny spot and I looked on (and snapped) as Carter enjoyed a peaceful splash in the pond. We saw ducks and a beautiful tiny dragonfly that I managed to capture, photographically speaking of course ;).

Summer fun continues

Summer seems to be slipping away from us so fast!  I can't believe it's August already.  I am so enjoying the little things that summer has to offer, like not having to pack lunches, carefree days without homework, late nights and sleeping in.  Ah, how I will miss you summer, as the long days turn to short, cool evenings.  However, for now I am focusing on what's left of summer- more sun, backyard fires, visiting family, and being grateful for all that is good in our lives.  In my previous post I left out two very important people, my dad and my only living grandparent, my nan Greta. 

This is a preset I created in lightroom called Caribbean glow.

Home for a visit

This is a large post so I'll apologize in advance!  But how can I not share as much as I possibly can from my great weekend visiting my hometown.  Even though we live on the East coast of Newfoundland, Canada, surrounded by the cold Atlantic ocean, we have sun, surf and a whole lotta wonderful places to see.  These are just a mere sample of the beauty that surrounds my little community.

  I had the added bonus of going on a an impromptu photowalk with a wonderful friend who also shares an enthusiasm for photography.  I was so happy because I've been thinking of trying to organize such a walk and this sort of just fell into our lap!!  It was lots of fun!! 

  Overall, I had a great weekend!  I got to spent time with my parents and to see many family and friends I haven't seen in quite some time.  And I took a few (hundred) pics! :)

Sweet Shot Tuesday

Wow it's that time of the week again-Sweet shot Tuesday!! This photo is from the family session I did last week.  As I quickly went through the photos, this was the one that stood out right away.  To me, it represents the love and bond between siblings.  The protective arms of the older child encasing her little brother and sister and the closed eyes and sweet smile.  The little hand on the sisters leg.  All smiling, all happy, enjoying the moment.
