365 Challenge // Day 7

Confession time... This photo was NOT taken on Day 7 :(

We were holding a rummage sale on both Friday (Day 7) and Saturday (Day 8) and I literally didn't even think of bringing out the camera on Friday. So Saturday I snapped a photo that applied to what I did Day 7.

This is a photo of one of the items a friend of ours was selling at their garage sale. Its an antique Candy Store Register. So little, HEAVY and cute!

365 Challenge // Day 6

So, I realize I'm not actually posting ON day 6... but I will say that I did photograph this on day 6! I haven't had time up until today to post my photos from the last few days!

I found a Bower Mirror Lens in a bin while I was prepping for a garage sale. I got this lens in a kit I bought years ago and I haven't used it because it didn't fit any of my cameras... UNTIL I decided to try it out on a film camera of mine! I found out that the mirror lens fits on my Canon AE-1 Program! Woohoo!

So I went out, tested the lens by driving around town and taking some shots. I got a little impatient and after 15 shots took the roll of film to the one-hour photo at a local drug store. Here is one of my favorites! A photo of a Weeping Willow.

365 Challenge // Day 5 (Part 2)

Tonight another precious and beautiful thing happened... so I just had to photograph it! Brindy carries her precious little baby bear with her and snuggles with it frequently. Here is a special little moment she was having with her baby this evening.

365 Challenge // Day 5

Yay! Another photo that just 'happened'. This little pup just LOVES to stare out the front window. She is so observant. Her favorite time to sit in the front window is when Daddy is about to be home... so precious.

365 Challenge // Day 4

Today was the first day I've had it happen: I was making coffee in an antique percolator I bought about 6 months ago. I left it on the stove to do its 'percolatin' and when I came back... there it was! The perfect photo opportunity :) HAPPY!

365 Challenge // Day 3

I love this pup. We got her last year and I'm so thankful for all this time we have gotten with her and all the times we are going to have with her. She is seriously the sweetest little dog you could meet... Anyone who's met her would agree!
