Eighty MPH Mom In My Neighborhood Tuesday

I think everyone knows by now that my favorite meme of all time is In My Neighborhood Tuesday.

Photography is my passion, and I just love a reason to show it off, per say.  However, no lies here, I dug some pics out of the archives this week.  Partly because I have been super duper busy lately, and partly because these pics are too dang cute NOT to share.  So on that note, ENJOY:

Ok so by going back to the archives I totally meant back to the prehistoric ages.  The first picture was taken a few months ago, but the 2nd picture was taken when I was about three or four years old.  That is my favorite cat in the world – his name was Alex.  My aunt named him that since my mom wouldn’t let her call me Alex.

Have a great week everyone!!

Okay, first of all, I know I’m late.  I’m sorry!!  You see, our dear, sweet, awesome hostess changed the assignment list on me, and I didn’t get the memo until last night. *laughs*  Which wouldn’t have been an issue except for the fact that I lost one of my memory cards which happened to have all of my fall pictures on it (figures, right?)

So today I used my lunch hour, grabbed my Pentax K-x, and headed outside for a little fall photo shoot.  It was a perfect day: sunny, 60ish (when I was out there) and a little breezy.   Anyways, enough chit chat and more pictures, yeah?

Okay! (captions are below pictures since wordpress can’t figure out what the ENTER KEY means)

I have never seen leaves like these!  I didn’t enhance these – these colors are their actual colors!!

Mid-morning dew.  Or maybe sprinkler dew? I’m not really sure

Thanks for looking!  I hope you have a fantastic rest of the week =)

Halloween is my absolute favorite time of the year!  I love Halloween more than Christmas, my birthday and even Tuesdays!!  Haha.  It is the one day that you can dress up to be anything you want, and don’t have to be you.

Listen to me.  Yes, I am a total fan of escaping reality.  That is part of who I am.  I enjoy being able to fantasize, dream, escape.  Makes sense that I love Halloween so much.

Here are what my children are going to be for Halloween this year.  We just bought their costumes last night, and made them try them on real fast before heading to bed.  Please don’t mind Ariana – it was well past her bedtime, so trying on her costume was not on the list of Fun Things To Do. And Konnor – well, he loves to dress up! =)

Bumblebee

I promise there will be more (better) pictures after Halloween is over.  But both of my babies will be Bumblebees, in some form or another.  I really tried my hardest to talk Konnor into Woody from Toy Story so Ariana could be Jesse, but I didn’t get what I wanted.  Darn kids and having their own opinions.  Haha!

Everyone have a safe and fun Halloween!! Remember to take flashlights, reflective gear so cars can see you, and check all candy before eating it!!!!

Hello blogosphere!  It’s Tuesday again, which means In My Neighborhood Tuesday!!! Yayyy!!!

I missed last week all together, and I am soooooooo sorry about that!  I promise you that when I find my memory card that contains the pics I have of my mailboxes, I will get that post up.  Trust me, you don’t want to miss it.  Hahaha!

Anyways, this weeks assignment was In Flight. It was yet another vague but amazing assignment, and so I have more than a couple of pictures.  =)  Enjoy!  And as always, if you clicky the button at the top of this post,  you will be re-directed to the host of this fantastic meme.

*sings* “Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday!!! I love Tuesday!!!”

Haha, I am in a weird mood today, so don’t mind me.

Here we are for another installment of In My Neighborhood Tuesday.  October 5th, per the assignment list at Eighty MPH Mom, says today we are to take pics of Yellow Flowers.

Hmmm, that’s a pretty vague assignment.  LOVE IT!  Since the flower season isn’t really “in” here in Oregon, I went to my Flickr account and pulled off some of the yellow flowers that I spotted earlier this year.  Then, I figured, I would make different edits to each of them for a new “feel.”

Here is what I came up with:
