playing around...

I stumbled upon this pin today...




which led me to playing around with my camera again.
I haven't been very happy with the way my pictures have been turning out
and so this was a very welcome break in my organizing
and cleaning frenzy.

very welcome.



favorite fall boots. 


small gourds that I bought at the farmers market on Saturday.
wearing favorite fall boots.

 crazy growth on tree in front yard.
yes, you needed to see that.

I know that I just showed you this 2 posts ago,
but honestly didn't you need to see it
again in a much clearer version?



too early for a white turkey to make its appearance?



o.k. sorry for the dark photo, but there is no window anywhere near this bathroom wall
and I wanted to show you the wire heart that I made
when my brother Pat taught me how to weld.
WELD!
I was entrusted to hold a very hot and dangerous tool people!
that is a huge deal!!!

O.k... hopefully I will remember everything I learned today
and you will be seeing some better photos from me!

love,
Theresa xoxo

  1. Love that you welded those cute little framed hearts. I always think a girl with power tools can do anything boys can do. You go girl!

  3. Arghhh...another thing to put in my guilty baggage. I need digital photography for dummies. I was sorta ok with my old digital camera, but my son bought me a digital camera a few years ago and I'm embarrassed to admit I don't even know where the aperture and ISO settings are. Yikes. My pictures stink. Yours, tho, are looking positively delightful Miss Theresa!! (Love those boots!) ;o) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

  9. Love the gourd shot the best.
    I struggle with my photos too. Sometimes I love them and the next I want to delete all of them.
    Lighting is so important!

  10. I had to chuckle when I saw that mushroom growth coming out of your tree. I had a tree that did the same thing (only larger) and I actually...if you can believe this...had a passerby knock on my door one day and ask if they could cut them off because they were good for eating!!!!??? I said...sure...go for it. They brought me back some to try after they cooked it, and I must say...I said thank you so much and then I promptly threw them in the trash after they left. Sorry...just couldn't do it. :)
    Blessings & hugs,
    Karen
