The island-trot this past week consisted of a drive out to eat one evening. It was golden hour, and the sunlight was divine. I took pictures half the twenty-minute drive there, and thus ended up car sick and not-very-hungry when we got to our destination. However, the pictures are worth it. Aren't the pictures always worth it?
I wanted to do a more extensive island-trot, but the Super Bowl sort of smashed that idea like an unsuspecting bug.

This is Perry and I goofing off together. I love you, Perry. Just thought you should know. Lately, I have been trying to research more about DSLR's, manual mode, and all the amazingly-complicated stuff that I seriously need to learn about asap. If you talented photographers wouldn't mind sharing any tutorials or websites that have taught you something neat, I would majorly love to know about it.
It's kind of embarrassing that I don't know about all about those setting's yet, but better late then never, right?
This is the mint chocolate chip ice-cream I found in the freezer last Tuesday. I cannot even tell you how happy I was when I found it in there; in fact, I almost scare myself thinking about it.
Oh, and that laptop I am holding? That's Darcy, Perry's newest best friend. He arrived a few days ago and is my very own. Can you believe it? Of course, Darcy is for college and all that cool stuff which is going to happen in August. Until then, though, he's here to help me, well, not fight over the computer with Michael all the time.
Yay!




I wanna be home and eat mint chocolate chip ice cream! ! !
ReplyDeleteNice pictures sis, love the last one especially
Hah, you just had to like the ONE picture that Mikey took. Well, I love you anyway. ;)
DeleteCongrats on having leftover ice cream! Ice cream never lasts long in our house, just ask my dad. Hhmmm, Darcy?!?! That wouldn't be after a fellow I know in a Jane book would it? Hope that no more bug smashing events break you from the island-trot.
ReplyDeletethe golden hour pictures are so so gorgeous! I love the second one. and mint chocolate chip is my favorite :)

Thank you so much, Grace! That really means a lot to me.
DeleteAll of my photos are edited with the very basic photo editing program Windows 7 comes with. So I usually just try to take the picture the way I want it to look so that too much editing doesn't need to be done. ;)
that second picture is beautiful :)
