Wintertime

Together

Almost got all three looking up at the same time :)

Sleepover

Bitty & the Christmas tree

Getting ready...

I know, I posted this on my other blog too, but wanted to share it here where I can post it larger :). More to come...

God's canvas

"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature." ~Anne Frank

Prairie dog park

Blowing bubbles

Roses

Have I mentioned dh has done a great job with our flower gardens? He has different types of flowers all around the house that make great subjects for pictures (it's not like anyone else around here actually holds still for a picture, lol).

On one side, we have these little miniature rose bushes. I wanted to get the sky in the background (because it was a really nice blue sky) so I had to actually lay down on the ground to take this one (aiming upward) but I like how it turned out. This one is SOOC (straight out of camera):



This one I took from a different angle, with the lawn in the background. I did a little bit of editing on the colors because it was a little too yellow, and cropped it a bit:

Waiting

Bitty waiting for his big brother to come in from the rain. Bearhug noticed that one of the little girls in the neighborhood had left her stuffed toy outside when it began raining, so he ran over to her house to take it to her.

I ♥ Faces - Blue

This week's theme at I ♥ Faces is "Blue."

Bearhug is wearing a dark blue shirt here, but I thought I'd use this as an opportunity to do something I wouldn't normally do - so I took it another step and put a blue tint on the entire picture :).



I love his expression here - I caught him a little by surprise and he was clearly less-than-impressed, lol.

I ♥ Faces - Candid

This week's theme over at I ♥ Faces is "Completely candid."

SOOC Saturday: Butterfly

This little guy was sooo into his flowers he didn't mind me taking his picture at all :).

Dragonfly

Fishing!

More pictures are posted here.

Bearhug fishing

Cuddlebug loved the pony ride!

I just like the blue sky and reflection in the water here...

Cuddlebug reeling in his line to check for fish :)

Little Bitty

SOOC Saturday: Expressive

I love Bitty's face in this one :)

I ♥ Faces - Bubbles

This week's theme at I ♥ Faces is "Bubbles." This was taken about a year ago, when bubbles saved us from a nuclear meltdown :). If you're interested, you can read all about it here.




Visit I ♥ Faces for more entries.

Splashing in the fountain

Sleepy Bitty

Cuddlebug without his hat

Cuddlebug took his hat off at the park, and I enjoyed the chance to take pictures of his handsome face without it being covered or shadowed by his hat (honestly, it was nice just being able to SEE his face without the hat for a change!)

Concentration

Bearhug playing Pokemon

Squinting

It wasn't until I was looking at these after I'd uploaded them to my computer that I realized both Bearhug and Little Bitty were squinting in the same way -- Bearhug at his Nintendo DS and Little Bitty at his trains. :)

The joy of twins!

I wanted to get some good pictures of Cuddlebug and Bearhug together, so I asked them to get close together and look in my general direction (surely not asking for too much?). They had a major case of the "sillies" and were in non-stop motion so I put my camera on "continuous" mode where it takes several pictures in rapid succession, in hopes that at least a few would turn out good. It worked!
