Week 20 - "Faces & Flowers" Photo Challenge

This week, at I Heart Faces, it's all about faces and flowers. Your photo must have a flower (or flowers) in it somewhere (fake, real or painted on... anything goes!) and a human face. The special guest judge is the bold and brilliant photographer Peta Mazey. 

There are a ton of entries already for this week's challenge.  I'm excited to finally be getting one in.  It's been weeks since I've successfully submitted one.  I wasn't going to miss this deadline -- not no way, not no how!!!  This is one of my highlights for the week and I love to share my photos with others.  I also love to hear back what others thought and felt of my photos.  Feedback is important -- gotta have my comments... 

This has become my sister's favorite photo of herself.  I think it's pretty.  That was taken during the Bluebonnet shoot I did of part of my family (the ones that are around and special), but not only was it a fabulous shoot and grouping of photos, my mom actually likes her's!!!  That's the third photo she's complimented this year of mine!  And there haven't been many others that she's liked without adding what she would do differently.  I know there are many of you who understand how difficult it can be sometimes to get some people to like your photos you had done of them...some individuals can't enjoy their photos of themselves.  I was elated that she actually liked her photo and also added in that it happened to be one of the best photos she's had taken of her.  Holy COW!!!  Yay!  I'll have to add that photo onto my blog to share.  It made my day to have such a compliment come from her.  :o) 

Thanks for checking out my photo!!!

Added Addition to -- Week 17 - “Smiles” Photo Challenge!

***Okay, so I wasn't able to actually get this submitted in time.  A change in the submission process and my thinking it would 'be really quick,' but hadn't realized the actually uploading to the site had changed...  Oh well, I'll figure it out in advance and submit my next entry with more buffer or bumpers (like those blue ones that used to get blown up at the bowling alleys...  :oP).  I won't miss the 'Week 20 - May 17 - Flowers' challenge!  That will be a good one that I can enter in one of my favorite photos.  There has to be a flower in the photo: alive, dead, fake (or faux -- I should say!), but nonetheless, a flower.  There is also the requirement that a face needs to be in the photo -- somewhere!  Hence the I ♥ Faces group blog topic.  Keep an eye out for it!!!***

So Big!!!

More to come!

Bluebonnets -- RK Moments

Here's one of my latest photos taken with Bluebonnets.  Hannah is so photogenic.  I don't think she realizes that, but may start believing me...  ;o)  I have tons of others to add to this one, but first, it's cleaning up the computer to allow space to upload all the others...  Ugh...  Computers are soooo much fun when you have filled them to the max and just getting online is difficult without it saying that you haven't anymore space on your hard drive...  

More to come!!!  It's fun and exciting to be really getting back into my photos and camera.  I've really missed it!!!!  

Bluebonnets!!! The 1st of More to Come

It's exciting to see more and more Bluebonnets popping up around the area.  I missed seeing those last year...  We didn't have many if any, but this year we have tons popping up in all sorts of places and it's AMAZING!!!  I love Texas and the springtime!
