Picture Taker or Photographer?



I am loving my camera and I am getting more comfortable taking it with many places I go and just snapping away

But

Am I picture taker or photographer?

I would like to think I am a photographer.

I was sent this great deal to take pictures in Central Park, check it out here it is a Photography Hike of Central Park. How cool is that?

I got a friend or two to join and we are deciding on dates - we are thinking late September, early October when the park really looks magnificent.

A few weeks ago we were up at the lake and I shot these:



This guy kept coming closer and closer to the fence

These pictures are taken across the street from my in laws house. Most days we see and HEAR them early in the am before they are fed but this day they were just grazing in the field.

So, are you a picture taker or photographer?

Finally



A few months ago my grandma was so generous as to purchase my curtains for me.

Really, she is a fabulous woman with awesome taste and a very good eye.

So, we made a date to go shopping for curtains for my living room (about 14 months after having nothing on the windows).

I pick something out that I liked and when we headed over to the register she insisted on paying, I did not ask her to, she said it was her treat.

Thank you Grandma Syl.

We come back home and then next day I ask hubby to hang up the rods and the curtains.

I leave the house for a little and in that time hubby put his hand through the wall in frustration (tried to say it was from his hand pushing through the wall when in reality it was him punching the wall).

My brother in law came and helped put the other rods up and patch the big boo boo that hubby made.

My job was to spackle and paint the hole, umm I mean patch.
I did that, well the spackle part. Today, FINALLY I painted the hole.

Everything is dried (a week later) and today my fabulous Brother in law came over again and hung it up.

How beautiful is that? The room totally has a different look and I am so happy.

I was going to go for a white couch BUT I may or may not do that. You see I was reading something and the saw the mom from that new show 9 by Design and she had something along the lines of what I am thinking of.

Having white furniture but as accent pieces if you are afraid of a big white piece of furniture and then use other colors as accent colors as well. That got me thinking.

Cherry Blossoms


I am so excited.

I have booked three days and two nights in Washington D.C. for next week.

I am taking my kids there to see the Cherry Blossoms in Washington D.C., hubby will come if he does not have to work.

We are excited.

It is something I have never done (Cherry Blossoms) but I have been to D.C. with my parents back in the day.

Now that I have my lovely camera (YAY!!) I will be able to take awesome photos.

My son has just learned a lot about Washington and governments so it will be very exciting for him.

And

We have a great time together (made sure to book the hotel with the indoor pool for sanity's sake ;-) you know what I mean?).

Hey I will be with two of my most favorite people and we will have a Blast!

We will be leaving later in the week, just when the Cherry Blossoms will be in FULL BLOOM!
