Antique Church with a Hint of Sun flare

I took this photo the same day as I took the photo of our county courthouse (two posts below); December 9th. It was also taken out of the car window, but this time we were headed home from my husband getting his hair cut.

The sky is blown, which is a no-no... but I actually really like it! I think it helps the sun flare stand out that's going across the left side of the church beside the windows and the sign. Also, I like the itty bitty round ones on the door and just above. And the small clouds that are just barely peeking out of the brightness makes me smile. I love photos of churches :)

Let Us Complain Less and Give More!

“If you think you are unhappy, look at them

If you think your salary is low, how about her?

If you think you don’t have many friends…

When you feel like giving up, think of this man

If you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does?

If you complain about your transport system, how about them?

If your society is unfair to you, how about her?

Enjoy life how it is and as it comes

Things are worse for others and is a lot better for us

There are many things in your life that will catch your eye but only a few will catch your heart…pursue those…

Let Us Complain Less and Give More!

Our Courthouse

Took this out the window of our mini van the other day
while riding with my husband to go get his hair cut :)

Before {SOOC} & After {EDITED}

I was taking some photos of my baby girl this morning while she was laying on the bed smiling at the curtains (her new best friend!). I pulled the curtains back and raised the blinds because the bed is right beside the window, so this let some really awesome natural light in. Natural light is beautiful and helps to create some great catch lights in eyes!

Anyway.. I'm sitting here editing some photos while my kiddos are asleep and wanted to share a before and after of one of them. Seeing as how I don't share photos of my family on the internet, I cropped the top part of her out. You can still get the general idea of how the editing went though. I wish you could see how pretty her eyes turned out in the photo; maybe another day, I can crop just her eyes...

Winter 2008

A photo I took earlier today while we were leaving our road and heading to town.

Much better!

Found a layout that I like a lot. Still have a few kinks to work out (fixing links at the top & adding my blog roll back, for example). Will do that in a bit. Plan on sharing a few photos, too.
