you made my day.....and I want to give you something

we had a rainy day on sunday that turned into ice
and
then into a beautiful
snow
yesterday morning when we awoke
our entire world
glistened
and
surprisingly
it was quickly melting
so I got dressed
and
asked my sweetie to come with me on a little photo escape
since our front yard
only gave me the birdhouse picture above
and
I wanted more
so
we jumped in the jeep
and
drove to my favorite little spot
where
the blinding sun was warm
the soft air whispered
"spring is almost here"
the white ice covering the rain soaked grass cracked with our weight
the creamy blue sky blanketed us
and
the words out of our mouths
were
"now this is what winter is all about"
~~~~~
now
a huge thank you to all of you who left comments
over at relyn's
about my photography
and
my passion for it
and
to thank all of you
a
GIVE AWAY
~
I'm assuming some of you don't know how to edit your photos or have the time to do so
and
I want to help
~
I either want to edit a favorite photo of yours
so you love it even more
or
I want to make you a blog banner using your photos and words
~
SO
leave a comment here
telling me that you'd like me do something for you
and
I'll do a drawing friday night and pick two or three or ten
of you
{depending on how many of you want something}
and
together we'll make something beautiful
and
again
THANK YOU ALL
for being so kind

  2. Hello Beth,

    I've popped over here from Relyn's place after reading of your passion!

    Your photographs are fascinating! I can see that you have blurred the edges of images, for example, but I also have the feeling that you adjust/augment/heighten the colours in some too. Am I right?

    I'm eager to know what you mean by editing? There is nothing I would like more than to be considered for your giveaway but I feel a total fraud - this being my first visit!!

  5. Beth,

    Nice job.... I went to visit you at Relyn's blog. I could not leave you a comment yesterday cause my computer was acting up. Your photography is all so beautiful. I need to get on the ball and start going out to the park more often to try to capture something beautiful.

    You have a great day and thanks for always being so nice and leaving me comments. SMILE!

  11. What weather! Nothing close to that down in Milwaukee, at least in Whitefish Bay so I'm glad I was able to see it through your eyes in your beautiful photos... and a giveaway on top of it all? I hope you had fun as a guest blogger...what a compliment to you!

    If (eh, I mean WHEN I win?) would love to see your fan-tabulous work on a banner...I've yet to figure out how to do that in my beginner phase of this blog-o-sphere.

    xoxoxo

  17. "be yourself-everyone else is taken"......I LOVE that!
    Words to live by for sure!
    Your photos are beautiful....it would be fun to see what you could do with one of my photos as I don't know very much about editing photos on the computer. Until fairly recently I was strictly a film gal.
