Week Thirty One:  Theme - "Over/Under"

I had a difficult time trying to figure out what I was going to do for the theme this week.  As the week came to an end, I realized that I had taken a lot of photos of the lightening storm earlier in the week.  I figured I could use one of the lightening over the house behind us.  It's a bit of a stretch, but it works.

Week Thirty: Theme - "Backlight"

Senshi, our Shiba Inu, was my model this week.  Sometimes the dogs are more cooperative than the child - all I have to day is, "Senshi, do you want a cookie?" and he stops and looks at the camera with that adorable face.  This was one of those weeks.

Week Twenty Nine: Theme - "Shadows"

The idea for this came to me as I was outside at work, taking a picture of a plant with an interesting shadow against the fence.  I went inside and asked if anyone would jump for me so I could take a photo of their shadow and ended up with two volunteers.  I love the way this one came out!

Week Twenty Eight: Theme - "Comfort Food"

I have always had a sweet tooth, and chocolate has always been one of my favorites.  It is definitely my weakness when it comes to eating the wrong things!

Week Twenty Seven:  Theme - "Fireworks"

We lit our own fireworks at home because the little one still thinks the big fireworks are too loud.  Our neighbors lit some of the big ones to which he replied, "We need to go inside, it's bed time!"  But he enjoyed the fountains, sparklers, and snaps.
