Pumpkins, Pumpkins....

This past week I drove out to an Amish family and bought pumkins. I came home with about 10 pumpkins and I'm thinking I'm ready for more. I know that I had fun with pumpkins at the lake with these photographs of my kids. I can't wait to go back once the leaves start changing. I'm thinking I just may have to carry a couple pumpkins in the back of the truck just in case I find the perfect fall photo op. ;)

*side note* All of these photos are un-edited straight from the camera.

Off to the fair.

This week the fair came to town. With it is the excitement of the kids, animals and of course my entries into the county fair. I try to enter each year. However, last year I missed the deadline, but not this year. I entered in my favorite category, Photography. Then I branched out a bit with a jar of Elderberry Jelly. I was very surprised that 3 out of my 7 photos received a first place award. And my jelly took 1st place to. Below you'll find the entries I made. So I believe 4 first places out of 8 entries isn't too shabby!


Action Color ~ 1st place


Color Portrait ~ 1st place


This photograph was entered as a Black and White photograph. I prefer to see it in Sephia. 1st Place

The following photos I entered but did not place. However, I still LOVE them!
