  6. Mother to five beautiful girls? Wow!! I can't believe you had time to do this!! That's seriously impressive. And on top of all that work, do you also have a puppy? That might be someone else's, but if you are doing the puppy thing right now on top of everything else -- I bow to you. :)

    Onto your photos -- I got excited when I first opened the link to your entry because the were great, making me eager to see the rest. Your remaining photos didn't disappoint either! Your puppy, Buck, is darling. SO CUTE!! I like the shadow and relaxation ones you did with him. (I'm sure he's a favorite photography subject right now. They grow fast. So, get as many pictures as you can while he's that small.) Other favorites -- something made of wood and something vintage. Great job!!

  13. Bengbeng ~ Thank you. :)

    Ang ~ I almost didn't post the Earth photo. Thought it was a too simple. I am glad to hear it's liked.

    Samara ~ Yes, I am busy. :) Five girls, a puppy and a husband who has been doing a lot of international travel recently, doesn't leave much time for anything else. I am trying to get as many photos of Buck as I can, but he's not a willing subject most of the time. Just to wiggly! :)

    Thanks for the compliments on my photos. My second daughter wanted the car to be my vintage photo. She wants to buy it!

    Faith ~ Those photos are some of my favorites, too.

    Dana ~ Thank you. :)

    Jamie ~ Again, some of my favorites. :)

    Anne ~ Buck doesn't sit still long, but when he does he really relaxes.

    Kaye ~ I liked the fire shot, too. Thought it was quite neat with the firewood pile behind the fire.

    Alexa ~ I had to look up how to take a sun flare photo. It took a little practice, but I was excited to capture that one.

    I haven't been online a lot, so I am off to look at everyone's photos.

    Thank you for all the compliments. I am quite honored by them. :)

  14. Thanks for stopping by my blog today! It takes awhile to get through everyone's photos for these things, huh? Hey, I saw on your profile that you're in Michigan. I'm in Arizona now, but I am from MI, too. Grew up in Eaton Rapids, between Lansing and Jackson. Then lived in Lansing and Jackson for four years. What area in the state do you live?

  19. Hi Kelly,

    I know Lake Orion well. Friends of mine use to live on the lake, spent many hours fishing and boating there. I really like your list as well, especially your view from above, resting, sunset, I think that's the bridge on Indianwood Road, and the '55 Nomad shots. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my pics.

  20. I love them all! The fire one scares me though. :) Hope nothing got burned that shouldn't have.
