Something I forgot

I thought of something else I wanted to post on here that I forgot to mention! I am trying (really hard!) to get better at photography. I love taking pictures. I just kind of stink at it. My friend, Jill, is doing this thing right now called "365" which is where she takes a picture a day for one year. And I thought to myself, "Hmm..I could do that. Maybe it would help me get better at photography." So, I am going to post them on here but realize that when I take pictures, I experiment a lot. Ok, that being said, here are some. Any comments would be appreciated!

Ok, so....this was the first one. Kind of armature, I know!

John liked this one. This is a little dowel thing that John carved a face into. It is a inside joke between us. But I'll never tell.....

This is Ebed. He lives in Indonesia. He likes to play marbles and to be outside. I am very grateful that God has allowed our paths to cross. Because while I may be helping him out, he is helping me so much more.

I love the contrast in this picture. I was feeling very bound this day. Lots of things were running through my mind and I felt very confined and those blasted pantyhose were not helping!

So, this would not be the kind of photography I would want to do. But we were trying to sell our camera on ebay and it was my picture of the day.

John had been working non-stop at the time of this picture. He would work late and then bring even more work home to do. This is a picture of one of the boxes of files he brought home. I was not a happy camper.

We are city folks trying to make it in the country. John had spent all afternoon chopping down a tree so that we could have firewood only to find out the next day that we couldn't use it. *sigh* but it made a nice picture.

Don't we all have those days where we just want to let loose?

*mental note: change picture BEFORE you upload it*

I love this picture of Luke. He loves to be outside and explore. He loves to get his hands dirty and run around. I think he is the most amazing little boy I've ever known.


This is one of my favorite parts of our backyard. It's a swing thrown together and hung on a tree branch that have provided countless times of memories being made.
Who says you need a T.V.?

So, those are my photos thus far. Hopefully you can see I'm getting better. Thanks for reading, again. I would write more but I think this post is already too long! I promise I won't post so many pictures at one time again.

God Bless,
