End of Summer


Sadly summer is coming to an end. You can feel a change in the air.
But I’m sure we still have some hot and sticky days to come.

With the highs in the 80’s we spent Sunday on the water with some friends.
I was a little late for the sunrise but the morning light was still gorgeous.

sunrise textured copy
I used a couple of Kim Klassen’s older textures. Chamomile and Water stain.
Kim’s Skinny Mini class is open for registration now. 
It is the best class to introduce you to the ins and outs of photoshop. 
I highly recommend it.  It’s self paced and it’s free!
Kim also has Photoshop Elements class and an Art of Texture class. Go here for more info.

big house
It’s always fun looking at all the dreamy houses on the water.
They recently finished building this one.


dream house
I’ve shown you my dream house before. But lets look at it again shall we.

These aren’t as big but this one has an infinity pool. Don’t know how I feel about the elephants.

This cottage style home caught by eye. The stone fireplace is so pretty.
It even comes with a sailboat.

The enforcers were keeping an eye on us.

That is when they weren’t busy fishing.
They were better at it then us. I only caught a fat catfish.

Road Trip




It’s time to get in the car and hit the road before the summer is over.

I’ll be heading to Hotlanta this weekend. And. it. will. be. hot.
Hotter then it is here in Florida most likely.

But I get to see my boys. I’m so excited!

And I’ll be making a few stops. 

Like maybe here ……




and of course here ….



and I have got to squeeze in some time to go here…..


I will be also be hitting the thrift stores while I’m there.

#2 son is moving into an apartment downtown for his last year at Georgia Tech.
Yay, one more year!

So, I need to find a few things on the cheap. Nothing fancy as things don’t seem to last very long around a bunch of college kids. Boys especially. They’re just gross.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Next week I will be having a giveaway! I think you will love it.

Especially all of you photogs out there.

So be sure to come back and check it out.

see ya,

A Great Weekend



I can’t believe the week is almost over already.

Wasn’t it just the weekend?

We had a house full for the July 4th weekend and it was so nice.  
My two older sons, son #1’s girlfriend and her son. I love having them all here. 

tubing

The big kids were fearless and did a little tubing.

The little guy was not so sure about all this boating stuff.

He watched them all take their turns while he mulled over the idea for himself.

The little guy was brave and conquered his fears and had a blast!  

He did quite a lot of firsts on his visit here.

Jumping into the pool with no floaties.
Touching the bottom.
Cannonballs.

Big firsts.

Big!

Fish were caught.

Fish were grilled.

Fish were eaten.

henry

Some lounging around.

justin-cannonball3

Lots of splashing.

Then the weekend ended with some light painting with sparklers.

I love lazy relaxing weekends like that.

Hope you all had a great one as well.

Now that it’s almost the weekend again can we have a repeat?

Summer Mantel






Did a little fiddling with the mantel today.

I wanted it to look a bit more summery.

Here is what it looked like for Spring.

The one day I want to take pictures indoors and it’s cloudy.

We need the rain but didn’t get much at all.

Just dark and gloomy.
