It's always the little things...

that get in the way.  I have mountains of them.  Just thought I'd tell you that. 

Last week I took my camera out to see if I could take a photo or two of something... Hone the skills so to speak.  Anyway,  #2 son has a habit of playing football in his school uniform.  Because he has the 'homeboy' thing going on where his school shorts are hanging on for grim death around the widest extremities of his nethers and the crotch is flapping around between his knees he can't kick the ball or run with legs outstretched without stressing the inner seam of his pants.   So he rips his pants.  No. Not split.  Ripped beyond repair.  3 out of  3 $50 regulation school uniform shorts are cactus.  Turd burger.  3 more weeks left of school and he decides to tamper with my good nature.  Do you think if I bought him white Y fronts and made him wear the ripped ones he would learn a lesson? 

Why did I tell you that?  I have no idea.  It was on my mind.  That sort of stuff happens a lot these days.  It's like "OMG!  Who said that?" and it was me.  I know it was me because I was there when I said it.  

Now... where was I??? Ok, when I had my camera out I looked around for fresh meat. Hur hur... my kids do the old eye roll now and they look way sultry and sour when I take their pic so now I've moved on to people who actually give a toss how they photograph!  

Corinne.  Beautiful, sweet, blonde pure cuteness did not give a toss.

After a couple of these non-tossy shots this was the one where she was more interested.  The rest of them she's hugging Aunty Karleigh.  Soon however, Aunty Karleigh started to rock the camera.  The rest is history.

I do believe Aunty Karleigh and my camera have a future date.  Stunning.  The camera loves her.  I love her.  I love you, Karleigh.  There. I said it. In a purely professional, photographiticationalative kind of way.  

Can't work out which one I like the most...

So photogenic.

On the scrapping front for this month's Dimensional Pop at Scrapbooks etc. we will be scrapping a black and white 5"x7" portrait photo with a feminine touch.  I haven't done the layout yet.  I've been slightly distracted...

Oh my, what stunning blue eyes she has! Beautiful photos!

[Moira Coates]

I vote you follow through on your threat to Lyndal about the Lock Up Your Sons tour :-) Or at least do a mock layout and make her think she's the star photo for the class!!

Apparently there are some other pics that aren't suitable for public viewing. I suggest we get those images and decide which one to settle on.

Amazing pic, that second one with Karleigh and Corinne. So much lushness with all those blues, especially those eyes!!
Fabulous pic, Lynette!!!! ;)

Gorgeous photos, Lynette. So pretty. u rock, as always.

Yep, make Tyler wear the ripped pants, non-repaired. :)

[Kristi Smith]

Yes, I know you have 3 sons, lol, I just expected Tyler to be the one ripping his pants. Jayden is old enough to try to sew them up himself! :)

[Kristi Smith]

And yes, I read they were ripped beyond repair . . . I give up. Buy him some new pants. ;)

I am gobsmacked as usual, they are absolutely GORGEOUS, you know I drool over you photograpy, even if it does depress me.... I really have to practice more ... really don't think it will help though, I will still come on here and think, "mine aren't anywhere near as good as yours", thanks for sharing.
...and thank you for the lovely comments about my shed.
