i{heart}faces: pets

Farley Sprocket

currently we are into the deep-freeze of winter; waking to the temperature of -38*C!  makes me a little more excited for our warm holidays.

{two days and counting}

was excited that this challenge was of our PETS!  so the following is my entry, our shaggy friend: Farley Sprocket.  since he has come into our lives a year and a half ago, we have had some amazing adventures! {always exciting}  


this photo was taken this past summer.

enjoy!

...Don't forget

check out other great entries at i{heart}faces & my PrOjEcT 365!

.surprise visitor.

could not help a smile after i read the following Shel Silverstien poem :

Hot Dog

i have a hot dog for a pet,

the only kind my folks would let

me get.

he does smell sort of bad

and yet,

he absolutely never gets

the sofa wet.

we have a butcher for a vet,

the strangest vet you ever met.

guess we're the weirdest family yet,

to have a hot dog for a pet. 

enjoyed a visit from my parents and their little meatloaf.

 

seasons greetings :)

oh, ya...
don't forget to take a peak at my PrOjEcT 365, everyday is a new photo :)

PrOjEcT 365: update

{if you have yet to check it out: check it out here!!}

:)

! sending warm holiday wishes your way !

i{heart}faces: self portraits

...Self portraits... 

this week the challenge is to take your own picture.  sounds easy enough!  

[after the whole afternoon, and ump-teen photos; this one felt good to show :) ]

remember to check out other other amazing entries!














  lator, gator  :)

'tis the season

time spent with family is time well spent

had an amazing weekend spent with our amazing parentals'!  hard to believe that it has been over two months since we broke the city perimeter to venture to a much more wide open world; too long for us!  

Ed learned some new tricks to making cabbage rolls: who would have know he was a natural.   well they got shining reviews from those involved. although we never did taste the final product, i can say that the rice filling is good as i had to make sure that it was not poisoned, you know like a quality control :) 

this was one of two, then 2 extra large roasters :)

would also like to remind everyone to give those loved ones an extra hug as in today's world you never know what may be in store for you.  today marks a grave anniversary of a horrible event, please take a moment to remember those who are innocent and lost too soon!

fix-it friday #78

enjoy my edits :)

... black & white Vs. colour ...

B/W vs. CoLoUr

{round 1}

this week there was no fix-it friday at i{heart}faces, as thee crew is still recovering from the dream big photography workshop held last week.  no reason not to showcase some of my own editing!  now:

sit back, check out the following photos, leave a comment on your thoughts :)  

fix-it friday #77

wow, friday again!  never ceases to amaze me at the speed at which time flies...  remember when time seemed to go by soo slow: in a day you could build a castle with only the couches, chairs and a blanket ~ only to have it ripped down once perfected cause it is bedtime, how it was the end of the world when you noticed a zit, or how high school would never end...  life as a kid, love how perceptions change :)

seems that i{heart}faces fix-it fridays are keeping me at least blogging once a week. {kinda} i really do look forward to editing, and i{heart}faces gives me a chance to work on someone elses' photos. 

so for all of you who are new to this blow or to i{heart}faces fix-it fridays, it is a weekly event where contributors edit the same photo and participants {such as myself} can join the fun by editing the same photo in their own way and linking into the party!  today the photo was captured by Michelle Johnson of her beautiful daughter.

enjoy :)
