48/365.2011 {Litter}

Posted on February 17, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

I found this in the tree in our backyard. Must have been tossed over the fence by our old neighbors. Who knew you could find litter in your tree in your backyard…even crazier, an unopened empty can.

47/365.2011 {Relaxing}

Posted on February 16, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

I actually took this picture a few weeks ago. (Is that cheating?) I just really wanted to use it as one of my 365 pictures though and I already had taken another picture that day that I ended up using.

One of things that I love about Daisy, is she is such a snuggle dog. She loves to snuggle. This is just another characteristic of hers that is opposite of Rosie. Rosie would lay like that for about 5 minutes, but never really enjoyed this type thing. Once Daisy gets comfy, she is as relaxed as a limp noodle with not a care in the world. Makes me happy that she’s happy.

*46/365.2011 {Assignment:Tech~Recreate this Image}

Posted on February 15, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

This week’s assignment was to recreate an image. I used Teenager’s first bible for this picture and in the background are some angels. I’ve had these angels since I was a little girl. I used Pioneer Woman’s Heartland action to gain this effect.

Issues?

Posted on February 15, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

I just so happened to look at my blog today on Google Chrome and realized that Chrome is not reading my code correctly. 🙂 In other words, my template is not written to Chrome’s liking or something is not jiving. If you use Chrome or really regardless of what you use, if there is anything funky looking or you can’t see the text or something. Please let me know! I get in my little world thinking everyone uses Safari or Firefox, both of which read my coding beautifully.

So if when you view my site on whatever internet browser you use and it doesn’t look right, please comment below. THANKS!

44/365.2011 {And so it begins…}

Posted on February 13, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

Saturday was the first day of Teenager’s travel soccer for this half of the season. We had a home game yesterday and a game in Birmingham today. I just couldn’t help but not post a pic from the game. Getting the entire team during the game is not really possible so I got them during half time.

43/365.2011 {Nature’s Heart}

Posted on February 12, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

Today we went for a walk over to the school. We took the trail from the basketball courts to the playground. I took this picture originally for the the curly Q, but when I uploaded it I couldn’t believe my eyes. How cool is this heart? It would have been awesome to have that as my heart picture, but I already posted a heart yesterday.

Click here to see a few other pictures I took today from our walk. There’s even a couple of my boys! Because of my work schedule, I don’t get to see them much, so pictures of them lately are few and far between.

Quick Prayer Request:
Rob’s boss’s daughter and husband {Lora & Andrew} are currently in Uganda trying to adopt a precious little girl right now. Some of you may read her blog already. Follow their story here. They could really use your prayers.

This silly ring was given to me by Monkey a few weeks ago. I stuck it in a pocket of one of my hoodies. Every time I put my hand in my pocket, I feel it and think of him. It warms my heart.

41/365.2011 {Bokeh in the Rain}

Posted on February 10, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

Took this picture on my way home last night (just after midnight). I’ve been inspired by others to do a picture of traffic lights in pure bokeh. I had my windshield wipers going, which weren’t doing a great job and need to be replaced. BUT, that made for some cool texture in the bokeh.

40/365.2011 {“We Love Cam”}

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

Yes, it’s another Auburn Football related post, but you know winning the National Championship is something most fans don’t get to see their Alma Mater do in a lifetime. I took these 2 pictures today while Rob and I went to meet some friends downtown for lunch. Living in the college town and working at the university just makes it that much more enjoyable. I drive through down town at least once a day on my way to work and had seen the valentine hearts that said “We Love Cam” and then later realized the entire window display was dedicated to him. I love seeing little daily reminders of the success that our football team saw this past year and Cam was a big part of it. No, he wasn’t the entire team. He had a great line to protect him and a defense that pulled them through some times of dire straights! I profess that I am not a hardcore football fan, but I love my Alma Mater and will always be “All In” just like the sign shows below says.

This was taken during ESPN College Game Day on the day we played Clemson. We had no idea what kind of team we really had at that point in the season.

*39/365.2011 {Assignment:Word~Valentine}

Posted on February 8, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

Who doesn’t love whip cream? I mean, seriously. I was trying to decide what to do for my “valentine” pic and while I was at the store earlier decided I’d treat myself to come whip cream and use it to spell out valentine. I also picked up one of my favorite objects to take pictures of and that’s good ole Conversation Hearts. You will be seeing more of those later this week in celebration of Valentine’s Day coming up. I added a few of the hearts around for a little color.

37/365.2011 {Warmth}

Posted on February 6, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

Oh, the weather this winter has just been so cold. I think the last 3 years’ winters have gotten colder and colder. We really enjoy our fireplace and have really needed it. I am so thankful for Rob and Teenager who are such awesome fire makers. I’m also very thankful for our friend Tony, who helps out with the firewood. Rob goes out to Tony’s house once or twice a year to help cut down trees, chop them, split them. Some for Tony and some for us!

33/365.2011 {Vintage Bracelet}

Posted on February 2, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

I was looking around this morning for something to take a picture of. I collected a few things and this was one of the things I picked up. I’ve had this bracelet for awhile. I believe it was my great Aunt’s. Not sure I would ever wear this, but have thought about taking much of the old jewelry that I have and take the stones and jewels from them to make into something else. Has anyone ever done that before?

I liked all the different angles and different DoF, so made a collage.

Also, I added the google/blogspot thingy over on my sidebar and it’s pitiful that I’m the only person following me. Would love to see your face on there! 🙂

32/365.2011 {Dandelion…the backside}

Posted on February 1, 2011 by Magnolia Mom

I always love when I’m just shooting pictures of stuff and really not thinking it’s going to turn out to be worth looking at. Then, to my surprise something like this one ends up being something different that catches my eye. Makes me happy.
