Full of Words and Photos Wednesday

I wanted to share with you some of the random shots that we took at the beach Sunday morning. David and I both had cameras and we were both experimenting with overexposing and underexposing the sunset so we have hundreds of photos. We I am a such a novice at photography that my shots are literally accidents most of the time. So some of these photos are his and some of them are mine; but, as he said...."We are Mi chiamo Candace...".  So there ya go...

This is the first time that I've really played with the settings on the camera at all. It was fun and it was just the beginning.  Like I said, they are completely random and not in any particular order.  They are just a few of the ones that I thought turned out particularly well. 

The colors were just amazing.  This one with the pinks, blues and purples is more true to the light that was shown that morning.

I love this one of David's silhouette with his tripod on the beach.   I probably love it, not because it's such a great photo, but because it is my best friend doing something that he enjoys while we were making a beautiful memory together.  Sappy, I know...

 

I don't think I have ever seen a live starfish before.  Because of the low tide, they were in abundance on the rocks.  So cool...

I love this photo of David's reflection in the sand.  He noticed the shot first with my reflection so he gets the credit for it.  His reflection is much nicer than mine so he gets featured, as well.

I have no idea what these are.  Anyone?

I know this was photo heavy today.  I hope you have enjoyed them.  My posts have been sporadic, at best, this summer.  It has been a busy one for us.  Add all of the changes that have gone on in our life since last October and you will find us me looking for "normal"....whatever that is.

Connor leaves for college in a couple of weeks so I'm going to be taking the rest of his time here and trying to make every day count.  Hopefully, I can distract myself from "my baby is going to college" with getting into a routine and getting organized once he has gone on to his new life.  I have lots of planned posts.....planned in my mind, that is....and maybe I can translate those into actual blog posts going forward.  We'll see.  For now, I'm off to create something wonderful with maple syrup.  

Before I forget....

If you are looking for something fun to do tonight, Renee at Eat.Live.Blog is hosting a Crockpot Twitter Party (#crockpotwed) tonight, Wednesday, August 3rd at 6:00 PM EST.  Check out the announcement here on Renee's blog for more information.  Looks like a bunch of fun and I hope that I can pop in for at least a few minutes.  I've never participated in a Twitter party before so I'm looking forward to seeing what it is all about.

And one other thing on my mind that I want to throw out there to you before I close today's post...

I am looking for someone to guest post from time to time.  If you are interested,  I would love to hear from you.  Just pop me a note at...
