It is a truth universally acknowledged that a rainy day becomes much cheerier when one is in possession of a turquoise umbrella.

I can only say...

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! :D Because that's what you say when you can't think of anything else to say...let me provide a visual aid to explain my feelings:



*sigh* I am now the owner of a Canon EOS 50D...and oh so happy about it!! :D Needless to say, I have been taking picture after picture after picture after picture...well, you get the idea! :)

I am planning to enter a photography contest hosted by A Little Sussy...the winner receives a the very first copy of her textbook. The problem is, it's a self-portrait contest and when it comes to self-portraits, I'm like this:


lol Well, maybe not quite that bad, but I'd much rather be behind the camera! :D That being said, I'm having trouble deciding on a *cough* entry...perhaps you could help me out? ;)

An, um, attempt at an artistic shot. ;)

Photo 5:


Please disguise your laughter with coughing at my attempts, and let me know which one you think. ;)

Alright, here are a few more photos made with my new camera...

One of my favorite subjects. :)


Another favorite subject! (Compare John and Zander and see if you can find any similarities in their features...I know I can't!)


Whoa...believe me, this was a rarity to get Wesley actually posing for the camera!


Miss Ellie in a bed of wildflowers.


And Elisabeth...:D

Yes, all of my siblings have been being chased by the camera lately...well, come to think of it, just about everything that might lend itself as a subject has been chased. ;) Expect more photos soon, because I am having some kind of fun!

Long Time, No Post

Wow, I haven't posted in forever...I didn't realize just how time-consuming the homework from some of these college classes would be! In other words, I'm enjoying the classes, but I've had to put some of my recreational activities on the back-burner for a little while (blogging being one of them). :)

I was awarded the "Honest Scrap" award by Abi over at "The Abi Show". Thanks, Abi!!


Here are the rules:
1. Say thanks and link to the person who gave you the award.
2. Share ten "honest" things about yourself.
3. Award this to seven people whose blog design/content you admire or who have encouraged you, and inform them of their win and of the rules of this award.

1. I am a twin (I think that fact has been established by now, huh?)
2. I have four other siblings.
3. I enjoy photography and being behind the camera, but I very much dislike being in front of it! *ugh*
4. I looove babies. So sweet! :)
5. I have to be careful or I could spend wayyyyy too much time on the computer.
6. My "thinking face" is often mistaken for an "angry face" by others...in fact, I was once told that I was the twin who always had a sour expression on my face. lol Can you see the emotional scars I am carrying from that remark? :)
7. I am exactly 5' 3".
8. I tend to re-play conversations over and over in my mind...this can get rather annoying.
9. I enjoy reading a good book.
10. I have a very special package that should be arriving tomorrow. I am very excited about it and will blog about it soon! :D

How's that for an incredibly random list of ten honest things about me?

I award this to: Lizzy, Elissa, Jaime, Joanna, Emily, Bailey, and Bethany. :)
