A Fungus Amungus!!

Yesterday as I was looking into the yard I saw what appeared to be a crescent moon shape. As I approached I realized it was a grouping of mushrooms. How curious! Had to take pics!

Crescent moon shape, curiouser and curiouser!

This looks like a sun to me.

Until next time campers, don't eat strange mushrooms!

Photo Friday- Florida Hurricane Season

Hurricane Season starts June 1st and we desperately need the rain but Mother Nature- can you please keep the Hurricanes down to a minimum? This season does give me an awesome opportunity to take pictures of some pretty fabulous skies.(One of my favorite things to photograph!)
Here are the first stormy sky photos of the season!

Until next time-

Photo Friday

I have always loved taking pictures. I remember when got my first camera when I was about 10 or 11. It was a polaroid instant. You know the kind, where you take a picture and get instant gratification when that picture spits out of the camera and you wait for the picture to magically appear as it dries. I used to take pictures of my cabbage patch dolls and my brothers. I just loved it.
Before I had children I loved to take pictures of nature. Ride my bike to the beach stopping along the way for cool rocks or trees. Now that I have kids most of my photographs are of my children- but taking pictures of nature is still my favorite!

That being said- I am making Fridays- "Photo Friday"
Here are some of my pics to kick it off!!!!!

Right outside of my house

Savannahs Park, FL.

The lone flower on the path!

Appreciate all the beauty around you!!! Until next time-

My New Light Cube!!!

I finally received my new tool in the mail! My Light cube!!! I never knew these things existed, but on my hunt for knowledge about taking better pictures of my arts and crafts I learned about the light cubes!!! Awesome! I have several items made that I would love to put up in my Artfire Shop, however taking pictures of them proved to be quite a challenge. Just another fine opportunity to excel! With 2 little very hands on girls running around it was just about impossible to take picture. Trying to find the right light, right time, etc., etc. I thought if I had a light cube I may take pics at night when they are in bed and have no light problem to boot! I found a great deal on this light cube from Cowboy Studios. Here is what I received:

My New Light Cube

Included: cube, 2 lights, 4 backgrounds, a table tripod and the handy dandy little black stand- get this- all for @ $60 bucks! Woo Hoo!!! Of course I did alot of research to find the best product for me at the best price. I think it will work out wonderfully!! I am going to have to play around with the backgrounds and lighting a bit but here is the first shot I took with it:

Not too shabby- and this was just a point and shoot with no adjusting or anything like that yet. I think I will be very happy. Needless to say- I will be listing several of my cool pieces of jewelry and art work soon on my Artfire.
Until later Peeps...
