You Capture - Up Close

Here is my first try for the You Capture challenge! Forgive me for putting up so many pictures but I couldn't decide on a 'theme' for my macro experimentation, so they are just a bunch of random pictures!











I love macro, but that doesn't mean I'm good at it! So any helpful hints or comments would be great! ;)


To see everyone else's great ideas and photos, just go to I Should Be Folding Laundry and take a look around!

<----Click me!

so yeah. i went to the fair.

We had a crazy car drive over! (Not really, we just played with crocodiles and flies)


Rocks are fun. Doesn't my nephew have pretty eyes?


Jameson was so excited about all the birds we saw flying in a "V." I asked him if he knew why they do that, getting ready to explain it to him, but he already knew why! Smart kid!


Eww! Look at the snot hanging from the sheep's nose!

the horses

Lately I have been going over to my Aunt's house to ride horses and hang out. I usually ride her (nice) horse Raine, and she'll ride either Angel (the white one) or Whisper (the black one). It's been so nice to be around horses again. I've been obsessed with horses since I was little, and when I was a teenager (I can actually say that now!) I used to take riding lessons. I haven't been able to ride much since I moved back to Utah, so finally being able to has been the BEST! I am so grateful that my busy busy aunt lets me come and play!




"The Babies" - Levi on the left and River on the right. They have such fun little personalities -Levi is way laid back, and River is curious and a little . . . can we say princess-y? But seriously they are so adorable, they could cheer anyone up.


Can you tell they're friends?

Title:

I met up with my (best) friends from high school last weekend and it was a blast! We happened upon a car show which was great, and then went and got Farr's ice cream - Yum! [Of course, catching up and laughing was the best part of the night - we are good at it.]


And . . . lately I have NOT been loving green. Surprise! to anyone who has ever shopped with me. It used to be my favorite color but I've ditched it lately for cheery yellow. However, this picture makes me question my decision . . .

Her name was Lola . . .

After much waiting . . . .

. . . . and waiting . . .
. . . and waiting . . .

. . . . and waiting . . .

. . . and foot rubs . . . .

SHE WAS HERE.

(can you believe how good Madi looks after what she just did? And she didn't have any makeup on!)

Lola Monroe Elgan.

madi's shower

We had a baby shower for my sister Madison a few weeks ago. It was really relaxed and fun and I had a great time visiting with friends and family. I didn't have my own camera (although I'm sure I would have forgotten anyway) so I didn't get any pictures of her loot, but everyone was so sweet - baby Lola was loved long before she was born.

"The sisters" - nice one, Madi. You perv.

catching up

To start off catching up on my blog: INCUBUS.



So, I am not the biggest lover of Incubus, but Kristofor is and ever since he heard they were coming to concert he's wanted to go. He found VIP tickets on Ebay that included meeting the band, getting autographs and bags and seats in the pit, and did I mention we got to meet the band?

AFTER the concert (all sweaty - concerts are hard work!)
