Our life is here: May

May is here!  Spring is here too!  Well, I guess you can call this spring.  The past month has brought us melting snow and mud puddles.  Chilly temperatures couldn't keep us inside any longer!  After a trip through the toy isle, two new rubber ducks had a new home in our front yard.  I mean, really, what mud puddle doesn't need a visitor? 

The past month was filled with two year old wonder over mud puddles and rocks and adventures of a rubber duck.  Life is good.

Dramatic light

I thought I'd share some of my images trying to utilize dramatic lighting. 

April thaw

It's starting to feel a little more like spring around here.  We've had the opportunity to get outside a little more and enjoy some sunshine (even a few rain drops).  Most of these images are part of my 365 project, although some are also for some of my classwork from the past week or so. 

April: Our Life Is Here

This entry is part of a blog circle, click through to see some beautiful images from some other ladies I'm lucky enough to call friends!

This is going to be a bit random this month.  That's just the way it is in my world at the moment, but I love it.  I'm mid run of a online photography class over at Clickin' Moms which is challenging, but I totally love it!  I've been walking around with my camera glued to my face for about two weeks now, (yes, even worse that my normal state) so I've decided to make this post about my outtakes.  And by outtakes, I don't mean images I don't like I won't keep, and not the funny things that happen when your trying to take a picture.  These are images that for one form or another didn't meet my assignment criteria or I had something better for the day.

Yup, pretty random.  Enjoy!

April Happenings

I write that title as if something exciting was happening in April.  Sorry to disappoint, but it isn't.  But I did want to post a handful of sharable images from the end of March and early April.  A bit random, yes, but that's just the way it goes sometimes!
