Why do I feel like I never update this thing? Oh, well maybe it's because I don't! Man, life has been pretty hectic around here lately. I thought I should pop in and share... School is back in session and I am taking 19 hours (yes that means 7 classes) this semester. I think I am nuts! But what can I say, I want to get it done and over with. Ready to move on into "the real world." Anyways, enough about me for now. This post is originally intended for RAW(e) purposes, so here it goes.
The theme for RAW(e) this week is "Smiles and Laughter." With my friends there is no short-supply of either. A few months back I took my 2 best friends out for a day of photographs and we had so much fun. Smiles and Laughter were contagious. I have posted this picture once before back on one of my "Wordless Wednesday" posts and I thought it was perfect for RAW(e) this week. Remember the purpose of RAW(e) is to post a "raw" picture, completely unedited and untouched. Here is my entry!

2(6)
This weeks Raw(e) theme was 2(6) on the 26th day of the month... the rules were to go into your photos on your computer and choose the 2nd folder and the 6th photo in that folder and post it... not matter how bad or embarassing. This photo is was taken at my grandmas house in Oklahoma last Christmas. It was the first time I can EVER remember having a white christmas. Around here we usually luck out and have a heat wave and its in the 70's on Christmas :-)
Anyways, I digress... here is my entry into this weeks RAW(e) contest...

Bluebonnets!
Well, its that time of the week again. Raw(e) time. This week's theme is flowers and we know here in Texas that there is no better flower than a Texas Bluebonnet. Around April and May they bloom up everywhere! They can't mow the sides of the highways because of them and the drive to and from school is AMAZING! My brother and I went out this year and took some pics for mothers day and gave my mom a framed picture of us in the bluebonnets. She loved it! Anyways, below is my entry for Raw(e)... a completely unedited photo...

RAW(e)- Red
The theme for RAW(e) this week is RED. The task, is simple. Sam over at Sailor and Company has asked us to submit a photo completely raw, unedited, with the theme of "Red"
The following picture is one I took this last fall at my parents house. (This still sounds so weird to me "my parents house") At the time I took it I was still living there. In Texas, we don't usually get a drastic change in foliage. It usually goes from green, to brown, to dead leaves on the ground in the matter of a week or two. But for some reason the trees this year actually changed colors! It was AMAZINGLY RED!!!
I captured this picture with a technique I learned from a friend and it has become one of my favorites. This a completely amateur way of expressing it but here it goes. I was told to:
"put your camera (I have a Nikon) on 'A' setting and move the little twisty knob thingy completely to the left (which causes the 'f' to go down,"This allowed the picture to focus heavily on the foreground of the picture and un-focus on the background creating a unique effect that I LOVE.

Taking a shot at the blogging thing...
Sam, over at Sailor & Company, is doing a photo contest(?) link up... the overall theme is "Raw(e)"... the goal to get the coolest, most awesome pictures... you guessed it... in the "Raw." That means unedited and straight from the camera.
I don't recognize myself as a professional on even the faintest level so I usually rely HEAVILY on my Adobe Lightroom to do the "tricks." So this is hard for me... But I wanted to join in so here is my photo for this weeks Raw(e) Theme- WATER...
I took this photo about a week or so ago when I went to a girls night down at "The Harbor." It is a nice area with great scenery at a nearby lake. The fountain below is the center piece of the place. I HATE strongly dislike, as a amateur photographer, taking photos at night. If you have any helpful hints to help out a newbie that would be great! Feel free to share...
Anyways... without further to do... here is my contribution to this weeks Raw(e) photo link-up...
