Puffy Clouds!

White balance for incadescent lighting. It gives off a blue hue, obviously, to balance the yellow/orange hue the incadescent light gives off.

White balance for daylight.

White blanace for flourescent light.

White balance for cloudy, which adds a warming filter.

I switched back to daylight as I decided it fit this shot the best.

I am bad about forgetting about the white balance, an effect that is crucially important. I am training myself to keep it on auto, just in case I fire one of those once in a lifetime shots without checking all of my settings. I prefer to set it myself as the white balance can completely change the look of a picture.

Everyone enjoys a snack around here!

Look at the concentration on that face!

See the noses in the corner there?

Getting ready to make the pitch!

Watching the storms roll in.

Picking up rocks!

See his little slobbers from studying so hard?

He loved to say, "Boom!" every time it thundered!

Looking everywhere for little rocks he could throw off the porch!

And there they go!

So into the weather!

Plucking my cute little flowers...

And throwing the petals off the porch! Do you see the little petal flying away?

My newest addition to the front flower bed.

One of my planters.

Jasmine, with its heavenly aroma, is planted in the center, but is slow taking off this year.

So sweet!

Look at those little feet!

Such a big boy.

Elvis lip!!!

Here comes the storm!

All this comotion for just a sprinkle of rain!

Right here in this chair was his favorite place to be!

Charlie loves to be outside. He and Daddy are storm chasers at heart. They love to sit on the front porch and watch the storms roll in. Daddy wasn't here this time :( As sweet and innocent as he looks here, yall should witness the going inside part: NOT PRETTY!!!

Jesus loves the little children.

The new way to vaccuum!

He is just so busy!

Love this action shot!

Why does it take me 2 hours to vaccuum our 1200 square foot home? Becasue I have this precious little helper!

Our Pool!

I took some time to edit these pics. I love seeing before and afters, or in this case, after and befores!

We decided we just didn't use the country club pool enough last year to renew our membership. So, this year, we are making due with other resources. Exhibit A: the dog's tank!
