Happiness is finding someone just as “Snap happy” about cameras as you are…

This weekend, we went to a BBQ with a small group from our church – My sister and I used to babysit these kids (this is so wrong!) and one of them is just getting into photography.  We spent a lot of time exchanging the horror stories of owning a new camera, found out that we both got them for Christmas of the same year, have lost the same exact parts, and have conned nick names for things that we dont understand.

Needless to say, it was a very fun afternoon.

She also taught me this new trick that she does:

Ok, so I didnt master it QUITE as well as she had – but the idea is there!

First off, When did July happen??

This weeks “You Capture” was a choice between Green, Hands, and Chairs.

I went with green, just because, well, everything around here is GREEN…and I didnt have any ideas for the other two.

Yes, Im a sucker for raindrops on leaves, or anything really…and I went out back and took more pictures…of green raindrops.

Sorry, but I love this next one a bit too much I think

And then these…I couldnt pass this by.  When I was thinking of what I could get for “Green” I thought of my cats eyes.  At certain times when you look in them, they look like little “Worlds.”  He has always been my subject for abuse willing participant, ever since I hauled him around dressing him up, to now…chasing him around the house with a camera…He was willing tho, for a few hugs and treats…

Also, Im guest posting at Bec’s today…go take a peek 🙂
