In a Yellow {tree} house

If you read my blog title you might figure out that the theme for the In a Yellow House photo challenge for the week is "trees." I took this photo while we were out on the boat at my husbands parents house...ahhh to have water front property

Wishful Lamb - Shadows

I am excited to be participating is some new challenges this week, so I have decided to enter The Wishful Lamb's photo challenge. The theme is all about shadows. I took this photo in Colorado, we were walking back to our condo and this guy decided it was a good idea to snowboard down the stair case, so I stopped to capture the moment. For the record, he landed safely, I however would not have.

See some more shadows here

RAW(e) - Pink

I did not have a photo to enter into I Heart Faces or Shutter Love Tuesday, so I decided to enter a new photo challenge  (new to me anyway) - RAW(e)  this week. The theme is pink, and the catch is you cannot do any editing to the photo. I took some photos in the backyard of my parents neighbors house, they always have some type of flowers blooming, so here is my shot of a beautiful Plumeria flower.

5 Questions

Five question Friday, here ya go!

WOW

The challenge at Mama and the Dudes this week is "WOW." When I saw this theme, my mind jumped back to this one that I had way back in my archives. I took this with my point and shoot about 8 months after Katrina hit. My cousin drove us around for nearly 3 hours, it was very surreal to see all of the devastation up close.

I couldn't decide between color and black and white...so you get both YAY!

Black & White Wednesday - Feet

So my photo this week for Black and White Wednesday over at The Long Road to China AND for the black & white photo challenge at Simplicity is all about feet! I My friend H and I went and took some photos of our friends new baby - Caleb this past weekend. H bought him these adorable shoes, they were a little big, as were the "pants" he had on. Much to his mommies disbelief we were able to knock him out and get some adorable photos of him. I will probably also use this photo for the "feet" theme in the August 2010 Photo Challenge, but I might use it in color, not sure yet! Here is Caleb, and his super adorable shoes!
