Wall Decor

Just a little update.

• I have been super busy and fall went by so fast that I didn't get to take as many pictures and I wanted to and now its the not very attractive season in between fall and winter so there isn't a lot for me to photograph with colors of anything. It just rains all the time and its dark and grayish.
• I just ordered and received a tone of prints to cover my bed room wall with.
• I got a chance a couple weeks ago to go to a photo studio and watch and actual photo shoot. I got a taste of what it would be like if I opened my own studio some day.
• I am working on learning more about photo shop in school and at home so hopefully I will be able to do some pretty cool things with photos eventually. 
• I have found a tone of photography ideas on pintrest.com ( If you have never been on it or heard of it, I definitely recommend it. A little bit of an addiction will eventually occur towards it but I think you'll be okay.) I just have to wait for the weather to clear up then hopefully get caught up on my photography.

Graffiti

I went to the Public Market where I live about a week or so ago and took what I think are some really cool pictures of the art on the walls by the streets. I don't think its regular graffiti, we are pretty sure that someone was hired to do it because it looks so good and is organized and signed nicely. I definitely have a new love for the down town art and will go out and find some more. 

Here is just a few to look at and the rest are on my Flickr.

This one is interesting because if you go look on my Flickr you might be able

to see that it is part of pattern of a flying bird down the road and around a girl then it keeps going.

There is a drawing of each stage that the bird is in when flying. Things like wings up then in the middle then down the up in the middle and down and it shows the different angles it is it. It is really interesting to walk along and see. 

I will try and find more for everyone to see :)

Thanks!

A bug?

So I was out doing some chores for my dad yesterday and I found this plant that I was about to pull out but when I looked a little closer there were what looked like hundreds of little yellow bugs on it. They weren't moving but they had I think four black leg things and I asked my dad but he didn't know what they were either. 

So I am asking you guys if you know what they are!

I found then on more than one plant which is not very cool because they don't

look very friendly. If I figure it out I will let you guys know but if you figure it out

please let me know!

thank you :)

Bye!

It's been much to long...

It has been so so so long since I last posted. I feel really sad about that. I have had no time to take any pictures with school, work, painting classes, and family. I am going to the Public Market this weekend so I will get some pictures there and I have the weekend open so I will definitely get out and take some more. I will have them up as soon as I can after that. I hope things will lighten up soon so I have more time to take pictures because I love fall so much I think some really amazing photos come out of it. I have some cool places this fall to go to to take pictures but I think I am going to wait till the colors change a little more. So I will have some really neat photos a little later in the season.
Not much to write about today but I will soon!

A Stroll Through the Woods

Hi everybody,

Saying that makes me feel like I am addressing tons and tons of people even though I am pretty sure I'm not, but I hope one day I will be so I'll keep saying it anyway (  to remind myself I'll get there eventually ). 

So! Today I went for a walk in the woods, I'm guessing in the morning because there was a lot of time left in the day after but I don't know what time exactly I went. My dog Jasper came with me and we were gone for around two hours. We started our walk on the trail my family made in the woods that we call the "walking trail" that is for anybody who feels like going for a walk in the woods. So we started on the trail but very soon in we took a turn and went over a hill and just kept walking to see what we could find. Yes we have been back there before but there is always something new plus we have not been to the cottage in two weeks. We went on our walk originally to go find some treasures in the woods. Treasures being animal bones and such. Those are the types of things we find at the cottage :)

I brought my camera with me. Of Course! 

I took some pictures that I am in love with so I thought I would share them with you

Here we go!...

I would not say that this is my favorite picture but 

I took it today and I am in love with it. It is looking down

the neck of a glass bottle I found in the woods at the little 

world that is growing inside of it.

This is the skull of I am guessing a fox. I have even done 

some Google-ing with my mom to compare it with other

animals and the only other things it would be is a wolf but

we are thinking it is a little small for that. This is one of the 

things I brought back to the cottage after our walk :).

This is a baby pink fungi that is growing on a log that I

thought looked so cute I had to take a picture.

I tried to get a good picture but I didn't expect it to

come out as good as I think it looks.

These are little baby fungi that are growing on a log, and

there were actually a lot of the all down the length of the log. 

A picture of that is on my Flickr, but I also did a close up

and I am really glad I did because I think the

detail is amazing! You can see all the little I'm

 going to say hairs but I am not sure what they are.

These are some of my favorite from today but the rest of them are on my Flickr so go take a look 

if you liked these. The link is at the top of the page.

I didn't finish writing this today oops! So all of

this actually happened yesterday.

Thanks for reading :)

Editing

I don't usually edit my photos because what I like best is the natural beauty of the things I take pictures of. The detail that goes with them or the environment they are in and colors and things. But I did find some pictures that I didn't like that much but I wished looked good so I decided that I would try some editing. I think they turned out great! 

My mom and I stopped an area with a lot of trains and train tracks but I am not sure what it was. If they were being fixed or cleaned or build. 

These are a daisy that I applied the 1960'6 edit by 10's until it was as high as it could go then put the all together

This is some sap on the pole that holds up our flags at my cottage that looked pretty plain when I took it but the detail was so cool I didn't want to not be able to use it

Thanks for reading :)

My Flickr

I haven't mentioned it yet but I have a Flickr account with a lot of my photographs on there but I do have some new ones to update it with which I will be doing as soon as I can. This weekend I work a lot so on my breaks during rotation I know I will be blogging a lot and organizing my photos and things. I'm a lifeguard by the way. Is anybody else? Do you like it? Tell me a little about it if you feel like and we can compare. Its fun to do that kinda stuff sometimes. But anyway yes I have a Flickr and I have a lot of my photos on it and they are all together and nice so I think you should take a look if you have some time. Who knows maybe you'll find something you like.
