Sunday Snapshot- "Fall's Awaking"

As you can see, the trees in my background are pretty green. But they are slowly turning colors! Look at the leaves in Joshua's hands, beautiful, right? 

I have come to realize that photography a little boy is a LOT more challenging than a little girl. It's a working progress I tell you that. But here he is in the little brown chair putting up with his big sister!

We are headed to the fair tomorrow! Hope to get some cool shots there!

Have a GREAT Sunday!

I took this with a Nikon D5000

My Setting were:

ISO: 500

Apt: f/5.0

55mm

Don't forget to join my challenge!

It ends in a week!

Favorite Photo Friday- "Joshua"

It's been awhile since I've posted about Joshua. So this is my "update". I took this pictures outside on Tuesday. I am also not sure if I told you, his foster Mom was here.

You could see the worry on his face. Wondering if he'd be taken away. If we were giving him back. We saw the first weeks home again. The temper tantrums, the whining, the battles. They all came back.

She is visiting another family until Tuesday, then she'll be back. It could have set him back REALLY far. However he's doing VERY well. 

So sorry lil' bud, that your life is so uncertain right now. You'll learn to trust.

Sunday Snapshot- "Jamestown"

Friday we took a field trip to the Jamestown Settlement, here in Virginia.

It was a great deal of fun and everyone enjoyed the hands-on experience.

They have three 'sections' the Indian Village, the English Ships, and the Settlement.

We learned how to make rope in the Indian Village.

We were also able to go on the beautiful replicas of the three ships that landed there.

(Not the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria.)

Mom, Ally, and Lily on a ship.

Me, Anna-Grace, and Ally.

In the Settlement we watched some Musket fire, which Lily did not like.

And Mom met and old friend from 9th grade! Wow, long time no see, literally. She also adopted from China. Ainsley is 5 and in the pink shirt. 

It was a great day, and we had Chick-Fil-A for dinner!

Not really a photography post.

But did you see??

I won last weeks Sunday Snapshot!
