A Summer Activity, Earth, Summer Treat, Wind, Water, Fire - Sweetsauer Photo Contest #2

I've got a few entries for today's post on the SweetSauer Photo Hunt #2. It's getting close to the end, so I want to make sure that I get them all in.

First up - A Summer Activity. What says summer more than a trip to the beach??? **Can you tell I'm a little obsessed???**

Look at how much fun all these people are having? Can't wait to go back for another visit! It is alwaaaaaaaaaaaaays a good thing to have relatives who live near the beach. Even better if they are fun relatives!


Next up - some earth! I'm so into these beach pictures I took right now. Primarily, because it is blasted HOT here and I can remember how the cool breezes felt. It was a little toasty the last time I was out there. I got a wicked sunburn later in the day, but as I walked in the sand in the early hours, I saw this and just had to take a shot.


Oh the waves crashing on the shore... and the FISHING! What's a better Summer Treat than yummy fish fresh from the sea. Hope this guy got some!


And of course, there is the pesky wind...this is not a beach shot, but I liked it okay. This is the "Whomping Willow" from the front yard. Yes, I know it's not a willow, but it does look ALOT like the one from Harry Potter, especially when it's windy.


Oh water... I do love the water, especially the ocean. It will be a couple more years (after I finish school) before I can move again back to the ocean. I guess you either love it or can leave it. I love it! My favorite days by the ocean are not the bright, sunny ones. I love the more gray, overcast days. That softer light.. ahhhh...


And last for today, is fire. I was playing with some settings on my camera at my cousin's wedding and this happened. It's a little fuzzy on the edges, something I will play with using a little tripod next time.


That's all for today! Happy Snapping!

Yeah that five day this is freaking me out a little!

The last ones are going to be the hardest for me, I think.

Time for a couple of little side trips! =)

It's Saturday! And that means it's time for Five Senses Friday... Thanks so much to Abby Try Again for sharing this wonderful idea! Seeing: My art teacher's house at a BBQ tonight. It was such a lovely space. Smelling: Baked beans simmering in the crockpot. droool... Tasting: Cherries! Again, I know. But this was off the cherry tree in the yard! I beat the birds to one! Feeling: Content and excited for a move this fall. Hearing: The kitty happily purring next to me. Love that sound! Play along if you like (comment and let me know if you do, I want to see what you come up with!). I enjoyed this little experiment in the senses. See you for another next week! I'm off this weekend to Goldfield a bit north of here in Nevada. It's a restored ghost town, sort of. For the last few years they have been having a Memorial Day Weekend Rendezvous of sorts. Mostly lots of BBQ. Can't wait to get shots of the lovely old west buildings for some art projects I'm pl

Today, a completely random thought post. Including a completely random photo that has nothing to do with what I am saying. I just like to have pictures in my posts, I think it makes them pretty...=) The wind has finally died down and I am really looking forward to a walk tonight after my second to last ever math class! Have I mentioned that I am excited to be done with the class!?! No, well I am! The professor is one of those people who thinks he is funny, but really is not. He is also one of those people who thinks jokes make the class more fun, but has not the timing for such a thing. As a result, the class is primarily uncomfortable and full of awkward silences. That is when he acknowledges that there are other people in the room besides himself. You know the ones right?!? I have been trying to focus on the positive and most of the time I can laugh about whatever it is eventually. And, eventually this will also be hilaaaaaaarious... yeah, right after I finish my final on Mond

Zeitgeist and the month of December…

Image
makes I am planning to blog through the month of December, you know one of those blog everyday kind of clubs.  I like the idea of them a lot – though I’m not promising anything spectacular, because I tend to get sidetracked a lot, but I am planning to blog at least a little. I wasn’t even going to bother attempting another one of these things – the dismal failures and the guilt, the added stress from the guilt, who needs it really!?! I suppose if I actually made it all the way through I’d feel pretty awesome but it’s all good. Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge
