Photo Gallery: Last Days of Summer, Stars, Bubbles, and Spiders

  Yes, that's a big title. But I needed to sum this post of random recent pictures of somehow. :) I think these pictures are organized according to the day\night I took them. 

   How has fall been coming in for you guys? It's been pure summer here still. :P Today I went and played with my two youngest siblings on the trampoline... and brought a squirt bottle of water out to keep us cool. It was SO hot. BUT... tomorrow it's supposed to cool down, finally! :D

  Well, you can look at all my pictures now. Probably basically all the photography I've done since getting home. (not every picture, but, you know. ;) )

Little toes... :)

 FLYING! 8D In other words, jumping on the trampoline, and I just crop it so you can't see that. :P It'd look much better without those telephone wires, but OH WELL. 

Sometimes I really like black and white. :)

  Spicy... have you ever had a cat still living at eight\nine years? She's such a good "kitty". ;)

BUBBLES! ;D

   I've wanted to try taking star photography for awhile. (I had tried it before, and it didn't work, but I know more stuff now. ;D) So at last one night I went out in the dark with a tripod, and started trying to get good star pictures with a high shutter speed. 

    And I got a few fairly good ones. :D Yay! You have to sit very still while waiting for the camera to finish it's picture. Probably why the clouds streaked like that in the pic above- don't know if they were actually like that. ;)

     

   Isn't it just great when you make a new photography accomplishment?! =D

Here's a pretty sunset...

  ... and a scary big spider! It had a big web on our porch. I probably got a little closer photographing it than I'd usually get to a big spider. :P (I cropped this picture, so it looks closer than in the original pic)

  One of the cool old toy tractors my little siblings brought out of the woods. :)

I sharpened this picture on picmonkey- the bokeh is extra lovely! :)

   The other day my little sister wanted to take pictures with an old camera... the one I started my photography love with. :) It's charger had been lost for a long time, but then they found it... and the camera still works! I think it got left outside once! The thing is a little survivor! :D 

Here's our dog Daisy. She's around the same age as our cat- they're both survivors. :) 

  So these last ten picture on this post are from the day my and my little sister went out to take pictures. :)

There's that old surviving camera. :) I took a picture of her...

....while she took a picture of me. ;)

All the lovely bokeh! :)

We went into the corn field, too. It's now harvested...

 And I found this treasure! :) Nice spider webs like this are a good photography opportunity, if you ask me. 

Daisy getting a bell-rub. ;) Lucky dog.

  I hope you enjoyed those pictures! :) I hope to do a September Highlights post, and show you all the stuff I've bought this month. :P And other things. Me and my siblings have been doing our home school co-op, where we have three classes at some church every Friday. I have an essay class (fun, right? ;) ), a trivia class, and an art class. The art one is more advanced (for me, anyhow) so I can get better at drawing and all! :D

  I also want to finish getting all the posts about my summer vacations done sometime. Hopefully before mid-October! 


WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE PICTURE?

Photo Gallery: Sweet Summer

  Happy first day of summer! :) 

For me, it has already felt like summer, but now it has officially begun. 

  So I was just going to do a post of pictures I took the other day, and then I found out it was the first day of summer... so that influenced my title. :) 

  We have little vine- like flowers growing out in the ditch by our house, so I made some flower wreaths. I wanted to take some pictures of them on these little "pixies". :) 

(these three pictures are edited, but I think the only other one that is on this post is the last one- brightened. ;P)

 So then we went walking around the woods along a cornfield. Doesn't it look like a nice place? :) No weeds right there. 

  I got bokeh in this. :) (the little circles in the background)

 This isn't as clear as I would have liked, but I like the bokeh in it, and all...

 There were some white fluffy things floating around- or falling. It looked cool. :)

    Tire of an old bike out in the woods. 

  Well I hope you enjoyed these pictures, and I hope you are having a good summer beginning! ;)
