snow storm, cabin fever, and great imaginations

Yet another snow storm. Here in this house we are going crazy. We want to get out of the house and do something preferably warm lol. When we get cabin fever we go kinda crazy. My brother was SUPPOSED to be brushing his teeth, but when we heard him giggling his head off we went to see what was up. I grabbed my camera and had fun too :P

This is what Andrew, USUALLY looks like :) only a little more smiley by putting his face half on the mirror he came up

with some pretty funny looking faces

lol

Here he came up with a big

nose job LOL

Lol , :) we had a lot of fune with it!!

Kept us from being bored for a little while.

Midterms + brain burn out = creativity ( at least for me)

For those of you who don't really know me, I love to draw abstract art. Whatever I feel just comes out on paper,and I love it! So when my brain had all it could take of studying I took a break to draw, this is what I come up with. Lol

This also gave me a chance for some cool photography shots.

I just decided to be creative with it :)

I drew this all in ink then went over it a little with a few

colored pencils :) I love the way

it made it look

Hope you liked them, and don't now think I'm a crazy loon lol :D

SNOW DAYS!

It's taken me awhile to get these pictures up here of the big snow storm we had, but they're finally up. =) Enjoy

there's so much of that white stuff

This bench and garbage can just looked pretty cool.

I couldn't resist takin' a shot at it =)

Ahh! Watch out! Run for cover!

We're under Attack!

This is my favorite. The old victorian houses used for offices

at my college just look so gorgeous under

that thick blanket of snow! =)
God bless!

Dreamy sunset

From the Rising of the sun to the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised
Psalms 113:3

This is just a picture I took over Lake Erie in the summer.... I'm dreaming of warm days when I can go watch more sunsets without having a gazillion layers of clothes on to keep warm ;)

The Power of a Rose =)

all my dear followers, I am so sorry that I have neglected posting anything on here, my excuse... being busy busy busy. lol

With all the busyness in my life came stress, but also came a wonderful friend that decided to send me some roses. It brightened my week, and gave me a smile. The rose has the power to make a woman smile =) Now that's power right there. lol JK

So I took the liberty to photo them and try a few different things =) Tell me what you think.

These roses are actually Mom's but I took pictures of hers too. They're all so pretty =) The yellow ones are mine.

Hopefully these pictures made you smile as much as my roses made me smile ;)

Pet Portraits

Pet portraits =) I've taken these of various pets over the years... I LOVE animals =D


Dear old Rocko sitting in the spring sunshine

Doesn't he look so innocent??? lol Don't be fooled

When's dinner???

And my beloved cat, Socks =)

Have a wonderful weekend

A Night on the Town

These pictures were taken in Pittsburgh, PA. This was my first time attempting night photos, and I quickly realize that night photos are very difficult without a tripod. So some of these turned out beautifully, and some are just plain silly looking =) But I had fun taking them and I will share them with you This picture and the next are taken from behind the Carnegie Science Center over the Allegheny River.

Ok time for some of the fun ones :P

This is why you need a tripod, lol. the slightest wiggle causes the lights to become cool smears across your page! :P

And here is my ghost ship arising from the mists!!! :-O

Here's another nice one =) I hope you enjoyed viewing these as much as i enjoyed taking them.

Bendigo, the amazing Cat!

=) Now here is one amazing cat. His name is Bendigo, and he loves to do homework =) Just watch and see!!!



Here he is, getting ready to get started =) He's getting the school book out of the bag :P

Now he's desperately searching for a pencil... " Where could I have put it down???"

Hmmm... he's thinking about that one. Must be a hard problem!!!







There he's all done, but his brain is a little fried from all that thinking! What a good little kitty! =) Now don't you wish you were so lucky! LOL

Sunshine!

Here in the snowy, cloudy north, we were blessed with a whole entire day of beautiful sunshine! It felt and sounded like spring, icicles melting, sun shining, and birds singing their hearts out ( including my bird). Mom had bought some tulips for herself ( which in made her room look like a perfect picture of spring), and I decided to take some pictures of them and of course my bird just somehow ended up in these things! Lol guess birds and flowers just go together =P Hope you enjoy, any comments or suggestions to improve would be greatly appreciated =)

lol, he was trying to hide in this last one :P

Punk Kitty Caught Red Handed, or maybe that should be Purple Eared

My wonderful cat, Socks,such a good cat, always obedient.... ok..ok, so I'm exaggerating. But coming home one day to a cat with a purple streak in his hair was a little shocking. :P We were wondering how it cam about when we seen the purple foot prints on the kitchen floor! After following these prints to the garbage where a paperplate with purple paint ( my mom's handiwork) we found out. He had been caught Purple eared and pawed! Lol Enjoy
