FoCaL BlAcK AnD WhItE

Focal blacka nd white....That's been a effect I've been wanting to learn how to do for a long time! I mean it's so cool to have everything black and white except one lil' spot. Well, I didn't know were it was on a picture editing software we had, but I got Picassa 8 and in the effects section it had "Focal Black and white" I was excited, here is a collection of pictures I took and did focal black and white on. I hope you like them!

I loved how this one came out!

How do you like my watermark on the pictures? It's been something I've been wanting to do for awhile and am now finally doing just that. I'd loved to hear your repsonse about it...Watermark or not!

Of HoRse AwArDs And LeAvEs

Yesterday we had a horse award picnic, it's where tghe kids who did well during the fair and horse shows throughout the summer. And G and M were one of them, and they did very well. They both got t-shirts and M got a medal and G got a HUGE trophy {I'll post pictures soon!} and we are all very proud. While we were there I noticed that my friends Paige, had the prettiest nail polish on {a light yellow} and I was working on a auqa scarf and while Paige was fingering it I noticed the colors of the yarn and her nails went beautifully togther and I had her pose for me and she was a great hand model!

Isn't she great?

This afternoon I went out and listened to "Mamma Mia" and took picture of God's amazing creation. Some of the leaves are yellow and red already! Fall is almost here! I'm not to excited though, I don't like all the leaves off the trees...They look naked and they blend all together from afar...That's my take on it!

I hope you enjoyed this post...I really like leaf pictures {if you can tell}.

Well, I need to say good-bye. So long! I'll post again soon!

Take a look into my family member's eyes. It took awhile to get some in focus but I did and they turned out great!

That was the main thing to post, but I have something else to share, they might make ya' drool though... I made banana cake w/ chocolate frosting, yum! It was yummy

{Sorry Micah I don't think there are any leftovers!}

The recipe is really rather easy, but you could use any banana cake recipe and a chocolate icing recipe and put them togther and whata-ya-got? A really yummy dessert!!! :) That was really rather corny but I thought it kinda fit it.

Here are some random pictures I took tonight:

Actually M took this one. {It's a fortune cookie necklace...the cookie is NOT a "Packman". I've gotten that a couple of times, it kind of bugs me}

My freshamn year began yesterday......It's okay. This week is really light, but next week it'll be more work. :P The TOG for HS is kind of hard but I'll get over it!
