Morning routine

Wake Me Up

This week’s assignment was Morning Routine. Annie of course had her picture up on time, and I am just not that good. This week has been hectic. This is my morning savior, my coffee. You can see my Senseo in the background, too.

Supervisor

Supervising Natalee

You don’t see Natalee in this first picture, but she is there. Rory really has no desire to be friends with Natalee, but she sure does feel like she has to supervise. It gets to the point where, if Natalee is in a different room that her mom and I, Rory will be in the room with Natalee. If she feels like Natalee is getting into trouble, she will come running to where I am to get me and tattle. It’s pretty funny. And all Natalee wants is to be friends with Kitty!!!

Be my friend?

My Pet

Rory, my pet

Annie and I are, as you well know by now, doing pets this week. 

It’s clearly not a fabulous picture (I seem to be missing the point of this entire venture Annie and I are on… ) but it describes my cat and I. I am typing away at the computer, entirely forgetting I have to take and put up a picture for the pets assigment. Rory decides she needs my attention, so she jumps up onto the computer. When I pick her up, she just curls up into me and settles down. Her motor starts going and she purrs away. The picture looks funny- it looks like she’s trying to get away- but she’s actually not. She was settled in to my chest for as long as I would have let her stay. 

She’s my pet. She’s more than my pet, but sshhhh don’t tell anyone.

The Boys

Jesse

 

Jake

These are my mom’s boys. They are less cute than handsome, if you ask me. But they are handsome. Jesse’s chin cracks me up – he is all white fur underneath so his chin tends to disappear into his fur, especially in pictures. Jake actually has gorgeous green eyes, but they are not coming out right with the flash. So I’m working on it with him. they are handsome guys though.

Oscar

O-Dawg

The theme of the week is pets. This picture isn’t exactly the most technically great picture, to say the least, but it looks most like Oscar. I thought it was going to be an all cats week, but I was wrong. Dogs and possibly horses are going to make cameos in my landscape. Oscar (known by me as O-Dawg) is my friend Christine’s baby. They drove me to the airport together. Isn’t he cute?

Princess

Princess

 This week Annie and I are doing Pets for our assignment. 

Although Thursday is Assignment Day, I’m going to feature pets all week. Well, I’m going to try to. This here is Princess, my sister’s cat. I’m heading to kentucky, where I will get to see Jake and Jesse, my mom’s cats. As well as lots of horses. I’m hoping to get some pictures up of them. 

We are a cat family. When my Grandma was alive, she always had cats. Me, my mom, and my sister all have 1 if not 2 cats. So, yeah… lots of cats. Very, very cute cats.

Team

 

Basketball Guy

Annie and I decided on “the Team” for this weeks assignment. Now, this isn’t a picture of the whole team, because I don’t have all those parent’s permission to post pictures of their kids. I think it still works. Caleb is part of a team, and proud to be doing so. He goes to practice every week and a game every week. 

My sister described this picture best- it looks like he’s looking over his shoulder thinking, “look what I just did!”

Negative Space

 

Jack

Annie and I are doing Weekly Assignments. We are trying to push ourselves with our photography. The first assignment is Negative Space- using the space around the subject to put the focus on the subject. I forgot about it, then was late, then really could not figure out what I wanted to take pictures of to do this. So I am cheating, I fully admit it, and using a picture that I took a while ago. Jack. I love how his face is so utterly the focus of this picture.
