Through my Weekly Recap {Android Pics} Meme, I managed to find a fun little blog hop that is running from now until Christmas night.  It’s called “Show Me Your Tree” and it’s pretty self-explanatory.  You just… post pictures of your Christmas tree.  Click on the button below to head to the hostess of this fun blog hop to link up or see other trees around the world…

So without further ado, here is our {super lame} Christmas tree.  Yes it is fake.  Yes, it is pre-lit.  Yes, we have just a few blue and silver balls on it.  Yes, it is crooked.  But it is ours.  And ours alone.  Next year I vow to have a real tree, because this one is pretty depressing.  Lol.  The kids don’t notice like I do, though.

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:

Cousins

Me as a baby w/ my kitty, Alex

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

Looking up the trunk of the tree

My path back to work – I didn’t want to go!!

Who puts snow chains in a tree????????

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