My Little Musician

              This is my little musician, Christian. when I was pregnant with him I always put the walkman on my belly and play Christian music all day. Sometimes, when I go to sleep, I just leave the walkman on my belly playing Christian music. And now, I guess this is it, Christian loves to play guitar and piano. He plays my guitar way different than other kids. While strumming the guitar strings he keeps humming as well. He loves Christian music. We tried to play different  kind music to see what he really likes, and he really knows the Christian music and we are so proud of him.

               He also loves to play piano. He plays with his two hands and those little fingers can play. So, I'm going to keep teaching him because I can feel that this little boy of mine have a wonderful gift, a wonderful talent that he can use  when he will grow up and be on his own. I'm so grateful that that God gave him to us.

Cucumber Swirls In My Garden

               I challenged  myself today to take some photos of this tiny cucumber swirls and see what's gonna be like. Honestly, I had hard time while doing it because these swirls are so tiny that my eyes crossed many times and it's breezy. Well, the results weren't that bad at all, I guess. If you think these photos below are not that good or any comment from you would be great. Any comment will help mold my skills in the world of photography.

Urban Photography

            It's grocery day, but, still I have my camera with me.My hubby is the one driving. Actually, I wasn't thinking about taking photos until we reached the Quachita River Bridge. And since we're moving I don't expect to have a good...good  photos. The results were shaky and I have to do a little editing on them to make these images look much better.

            I decided to make them look aged or  I just simply say it "black and white with effect adjustments.

Stink Bugs

               I was at my tomato garden at 6:00 p.m. yesterday checking if there are  red tomatoes when I saw these bugs. At first, I don't know what kind of bugs these are so I called my husband out. Literally, they're marching, LOL!
               After an hour, my husband was searching online to see what kind of bugs they are. Then he told me, ohhh.. it's stink bugs!
               I used Macro mode shooting these bugs because they're so small, plus the wind blowing the tomato leaves.
               Sometimes, I think being a photographer (professional or not) you have to take pictures of anything,huh.

GOODBYE BOTTLES

               It's time for cleaning, gosh! So much stuffs that I need to throw away, stuffs that's supposed to be in the shed and not to be anywhere. But before I start throwing stuffs like these seasoning bottles here I decided to take some shots so I got my camera and start shooting.
               I took a lot of shots with these seasoning bottles, but these four images here are my favorites.

Expressing Love

Yellow & Red Rose

Red Rose

Red Rose

               I just feel like I wanna do something different today.  Something clear and something blurry, lol.  I was looking at these images before editing them and I feel like I wanna do something different in these images.

               I wanna do something that has magical effect.....still learning how to do it. I'm getting there!

WASP IMAGES

             Was outside watering my garden when me and my husband found this wasp on my eggplant garden.    This is really scary! My husband can't stand looking at these images. When I took these shots it didn't bother me at all, but after being uploaded to the computer I'm kinda scared looking at these images too what if I got stung, ouch!!

Decorations Around The house

               Photography is so inspiring, you don't need to go anywhere to capture photos. Sometimes, inspirations are just around you, right in the corner. While watching TV, I glanced at my flower vase and something captured my attention. Obviously, these are the things that captured my attention, these images above. 

               If you love photography, you must always have an idea. Take a look around and think of something that you would like to do, or you can write it down as a reminder, and when you're free from house works, or watching your kids (like me), then you can start doing what you really want to do.

Light Up The Candle

Candle lights

      It was on my head all day - taking photos of a candle light. I remember I have some Yankee candles so I grabbed one and placed it in a good spot and here it is. While looking at these images I'm aware I still need to improve my focus and light adjustment, but I'm happy though. I'm learning everyday in photography and I love it! 

      It may not mean something to others, but for me it means a lot! This is my passion!

SPIDER

MACRO SHOOT: SPIDER

        While being outside getting ready for grilling, this is what me and my husband saw...a spider! Well, I wasn't interested in taking pictures of this spider at all, but, my husband went back inside the house and got out back with my camera. What can I say? I think I influenced my husband in taking pictures....LOL! But, I'm the one who took this one :).

GREEN IN THE GARDEN

Tomato

Green bell pepper

             This is the very first time that I do gardening in four years after marriage. But, before that, I always love gardening. Both of my parents do love gardening. 

              My tomato and green bell pepper popped out first. Soon, they will be ready and I can use them for cooking. I love cooking, so having a garden specially vegetable garden is a wonderful idea.

              One more thing, if you want to see good results in your garden, use Miracle Grow Potting soil. 

              

Jackson, Mississippi Landmarks

              I shoot these images in Jackson, Mississippi in the middle of traffic. I hope I can go back here soon, there's a lot of views here that I missed. On this day, so hard to shoot because it was so windy, it's like the wind pushing me somewhere.

SUNRISE In Mississippi

             I took these shots last January this year when me and my family went to Jackson Mississippi. I thought I lost these images, so last night I checked all my files and I found them and I'm so happy that I found them. I love these photos.

            These images reminds me when I was in the Philippines. I always watch the sunrise every morning. It's a great feeling thinking how lucky I am to live another day of my life and to see the beauty of nature that God created.

              Jessica is my friend Bliss' daughter. What I like about her is she is a beauty, and so cute! When I took these photos She asked me what I want her to do, I told her just do whatever you wanna do, be natural or you can talk to your mom while I'm taking the shots. I am really impressed with the results. She is so natural and adorable.
