It is day 3 of the Ultimate Blog Challenge and NaBloPoMo…and I am still in the game! It is also Wordless Wednesday, so it only seems fitting to share some pictures to mark the day even though technically it isn't really wordless if I have a running gab fest throughout.
The best thing I got for Christmas last year was a new camera and I have had a blast taking pictures of this, that, and everything!! I am really looking forward to trying to capture some fireworks with it! It can’t be any more difficult than trying to stand on my head taking a picture of the moon without moving the camera!! Thank God and sunny Jesus I don’t drink because I would have surely fallen on my happy ass in the process. Nearly did as it was.
I have also been pretty obsessed with photographing flowers lately. While at the library I noticed this little jewel outside their front door. Mind you, I have no earthly idea what it is called but thought it looked extremely cool. So I got in my blazer “Bessie” and raced home to grab my camera so I could capture this floral wonder in all its glory!
Lately I have been using the “food” setting with very happy results. The bonus of taking pictures of food is once you are done snapping you can gobble it up. You can be assured those blueberries didn’t last much longer after this picture was taken.
Boys will be boys! what kind of camera? I'm in the market and I love the moon pic you took!
ReplyDeleteJoJo, my camera is a Nikon COOLPIX L810. I love it. It is the nicest camera I have ever had. Thank you for stopping in and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteGreat humor and personal story. I have a feeling that camera of yours is going to get much use and make for many fun stories. I'm looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteCaroline, I am so pleased you enjoyed it!! It seems like rambling commentary with the pictures seems to be a hit and I had fun doing it. Thank you for stopping in and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteOh I loved the picture of the blueberries :) :)
ReplyDeleteSukupedia, good enough to eat!! Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteOooooh I love playing with new cameras! I love the picture of your son. My kids seem happy to touch disgusting animals that should never have existed in the first place, too. :-P
ReplyDeleteJenn, you have to wonder about kids. LOL Thank you so much for stopping by and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteMmm the blueberries look delicious! Makes me want a berry trifle!
ReplyDeleteElisebet, they were awesome!! Thank you for stopping in and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteI would say more, but with it being Wordless Wednesday, I've already said too much!
ReplyDeleteJudi, LOLOLOLOL usually I would just post the pictures and leave it at that but that crazy blogging challenge insists that you must have words so I wrote some words to go with it!! Thank you for stopping in and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteThese look a lot better than my phone photos. Good for you, and thanks for the retweet on my blog post.

Joyce, thank you for stopping in and you are very welcome!!
DeleteThat has to be the most wordy wordless Wednesday I've ever seen :-) That genuine unforced and uncovered joy that only kids faces can ever truly show always makes a great photo - whatever they are holding!
ReplyDeleteGlen, LMAO...well the rules of this blogging challenge is to BLOG everyday of the month. That means words and not just pictures so I found a way to skate around the rules a bit. LOLOLOLOL So pleased you enjoyed it and stopped by. It is always such a thrill to have your thumbs up!! Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteGreat shots Kathy. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteMimi, glad you enjoyed them. Thank you for stopping in and for your kind comments! ♥♥
DeleteU gobbled up all of those??? :D
ReplyDeleteBut seriously the joy & excitement on your son's face is just so infectious!!!!
Lovely play of words on a wordles day :D
Smita, yes and if there had been more I probably would have gobbled those too. I am an awful pig when it comes to blueberries!!! Thank you for stopping in and for your sweet comments!! ♥
DeleteKathy, I love your gabfests. Please make sure you never go truly wordless on us.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see you having so much fun with your new camera. The look on your son's face is priceless. There is something about boys and creepy-crawlies. I have a 2yo son and he behaves like that too.
and I agree with you, better them than us. :)
Cynthia, you are too kind. I am so pleased you love my gabfests. I love my camera!! Thank you for stopping in and for your kind comments!!
Deleteyummy pictures and i don't just mean the blueberries! the moon was something and so is that priceless expression on the children's face!! wow!
ReplyDeleteThe Little Princess, I am so pleased you enjoyed my pictures and commentary. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments! ♥
DeleteLove all the photos and commentary, Kathy. Great camera but of course it's only as good as the user who finds the interesting subjects and frames them just right.
ReplyDeleteWritercat59, thank you so much for the kind words and for stopping in to read and taking time to let me know you liked it. Thank you!!
DeleteI agree with Writercat59. As Ernst Haas has said - "The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE." And I love the way you saw those berries! :P LOL!
ReplyDeleteChicky, I never really thought about it that way before. The person taking the photos has to pick their shot while the camera does the rest of the work. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments!
DeleteGreat photos. You're correct the food and flower pics are great, you have a good eye for it, commentary just right too.:)
ReplyDeleteMaggie, thank you for your kind words and for stopping by to check out my pictures and read my commentary!!
