Summer's edits

I've done it again- attempted to edit! I enjoy messing around with the focus and the colors and seeing the results. Sometimes things even look good!

Summer's bounty

This latest shoot came out of the blue today, as I was picking some of the beautiful fruits our little garden is producing. Each plant had such a lovely, rich color, and the sun was just beginning to set- my favorite lighting, and then I picked this bunch of grapes. And they were perfection of the highest kind. These grapes were just begging me to take out my trusty Fujifilm and snap away, and then I saw these tomatoes that were this to-die-for shade of sunny yellow, and my brain exploded- I needed a model! So I grabbed my little sister, and we captured these:

 Just for kicks and grins, we'll throw my baby brother into the mix. 

That shirt was the best color!

I'll post more after they've been edited. But I am very satisfied with them, because the color pops just the way it's supposed to.

Have a lovely Independence Day.

...I know I did.

Grape escape

We have grapes in our backyard, and they are amazing. Nothing better than walking outside and grabbing a lovely, juicy treat warm from the sun and fresh.

 we are also growing some yummy peas. :^)

Summer is delightful.

ice

Some very cool pictures for a not-so-cool June day. :^)
I just love ice, don't you?

Sun and Rain

Aren't these magical?? The sun was so perfect I had to run and get a few shots before the light faded out- which turned out to be unbelievably quick, because the lighting was even more lovely before I got out my trusty Fujifilm. Just goes to show you- always have a camera on hand.

Simple pleasures- summer edition.

 I cannot tell you how much I love the way this one turned out!! The wacky focus on the couch looks so neat.

There are few things that are better in life than these: Two little brothers who love to smile and eat, and homemade watermelon popsicles. Just slice the watermelon, poke a stick in there, and freeze! They are a beautiful color, and almost always end up covered in frost. Swoon!
