30 days // 30 photos

remember the photography challenge I had said I am going to do in >>this post<< ?

well, I've done it like several times... yes, I know, but it isn't overkill.....yet. ::giggle::

All of these photos are SOOC (straight out of camera) except for the second to last one, that was edited only in black and white.

oregon trip {part 1}

oregon: one of the most gorgeous country states ever, place where my cousins live, looks like it would be the ideal summer vacation place. {my definition}

oregon: a state in the NW United States, on the Pacific coast. 2,632,663; 96,981 sq. mi. (251,180 sq. km). Capital: Salem. Abbreviation: Oreg., Ore., OR (for use with zip code). {from the dictionary}

i think my definition is way better.... not I'm not biased. ::wink::

 

one of the towns we drove thru had some of the most beautiful murals.

we had a chocolate cake for my birthday. *score*

i adore feathers, but half of my pictures of these feathers didn't turn out. :P

I have a gazillion barbwire pictures to post.

I just love the forlorn look in this one ^

okay, so I was in the basement and I saw the laundry in the window, so I took the picture and i love the feeling it gives. the next photography post will be my golden hour photoshoot. I think I'm in love with golden hour....seriously. *happy smile*

Congratulations girl!! I shall contact you shortly.

And Thank you all so much for all your sweet encouraging words, and prayers for my sister. She is home from the Portland Children's hospital. And she is getting back to normal, though her life will never be normal. Please continue to pray that all the kinks will get worked out and all the ajusting to her new lifestyle.

And I have been taking pictures, I promise. I just haven't been able to upload/download them onto my computer. I will try to get them posted this week.. but if that doesn't happen I will have a rather large photo dump when I get back. ::wink:: But, I promise I won't post them all at once. :)

And seeing the number 67 on my dashboard under followers makes me so happy. thank you so much, I am totally honored. ::hugs to you all::

And now on a more sad note:

My sister had been sick for the last week or so and we didn't know what was wrong, this morning she was in so much plain and was to weak to walk, so they took her into the ER and we found out that she has dietbetes...

She had to be flown to the Portland Hospital, and my mom and my aunt are driving. It is about 3 hours away. She is doing a lot better now than she was, but

Please Pray!
