valentines~

  

Mom got some cute lolipops at Target so I took pictures of the girls suckin on em... :)

The snow was absolutly GORGEOUS!!!

There's not really much of anything else to say, except that it was ALOT of fun and I think I have the cutest sisters EVER!!! :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------*

Since tomorrow is Valentines day, I think it would be appropriate to read 1 Corinthians 13{aka. the 'love chapter'} to refresh our minds on what true love really is.

...but the greatest of these is love.

snow has :finally: arrived in the south!!

....very, very much!!!!! I don't think I realized how much I missed it till I saw it in the flakes coming down..

There's NOTHING like the blue Georgia sky!!!

It was sooo much fun playing in the snow!!!

There's nothing like a good snowball fight!! Even if you get hit more then once in the face by sisters that are less than half your age. (:

sky&tree's::

So these might not be the most interesting pictures you've ever seen, but some days the sky is jus so amazing I can't help but take pictures of it!!! And........this happens to be the best way to get pictures of the sky at our house!

Editing fun!

BEFORE-

AFTER-

I increased the shadows, added a little contrast, and boosted the saturation. (=
I like the "realness" of the first one and the artsiness of the second.

Which do you like better?? Before or After

I order some picture prints last week so hopefully they'll be in the mailbox tomorrow!!!
The only part I don't like about online ordering is the waiting!!!!!

Have a GREAT week everybody!!!

It snowed in GA!!!!!

It snowed on Thursday night and we woke up to find the ground mostly white!! I never thought I'd be so glad to see snow, but I was!! So much infact that as soon as I got out of bed and got dressed, I grabbed my camera and ran out side for a few quick pictures before breakfast!

I also went out later in the day to snap a few more when it was nicer and the sun was shining.. (:

[the ones below are the "later in the day" pictures.]

Our beautiful holly bush!

......And ending this post with a scary-wide-angle-self-portrait!! =)
