OMG! OMG!!

I entered a contest over at Pioneer Woman's photography blog. HERE She sets a photography assignment that people can enter for 4 days. Each day she picks like 20 pics to be that days semi-finalists. On day 5 she picks the finalists from those 4 days worth of winners. Day six she announces the winner. She gives out great prizes!! The competition is pretty fierce. I don't know how she goes through all those entries!! Well, guess what?!? MY PICTURE WAS ONE PICKED FOR DAY 3!!! OMG!! OMG!! I am so excited, and honored!! My bff Addie sent me an IM this morning saying I had been picked. I thought she was playing an April Fools joke on me!! LOL!! Well, the jokes on me....she was telling the truth! I swear I had chest pains for 2 hours! Taking photographs is my love, and to have someone like what I do means so much to me. I don't think I'll come down from this high for some time!! :)

Here is my pic....the photography assignment was 'Green':

Latest Photo Fun!

I have been trying to take pictures every chance I get. I have really gotten some fun ones lately. Spring is the best time to find animals to snap a shot of! You know me, I could take animal pics all day!! LOL!! The ones I am about to post are just a hodge-podge of things. Most of them have been edited, that's where the fun comes in!! I have just as much fun turning my pics into art as I do taking them! Such a goob, I know!! LOL!! :P I hope you enjoy.

Yes, I am still here!!

Hello!! Long time, no see! :D I have decided to start blogging again. Well, I will give it a try! LOL! I got a new camera, and I am anxious to start posting pics again! For those of you that know me, I like to pretend I am a photographer!! Truth is, I just love taking pictures! I am definitely an amateur, not that great at all. I have just stepped into the world of Digital SLR photography, so lets hope I learn a lot! I like to take pics of just about anything, so no telling what will end up on the blog! LOL!!

Yesterday, my husband and I ran over to Port Orford (Oregon Coast) for lunch. Yes, I said for lunch. What?!? Doesn't everyone drive 3 hours for lunch? :D We like to go for drives to get a chance to spend time with each other. We are both road trip people, and both of us bring our cameras for repeated stop & clicks! So, here are some of my shots from yesterday. I hope you enjoy. :)

(pics can be blown up when clicked...i don't recommend blowing up the hawk pic, him & I were both moving..which doesn't make for the clearest shot :P)
