Sisters Photoshoot

November 9, 2016November 26, 2016 | Allison

The other day Megan and I packed up our cameras and my bunny Lily and drove up to an alfalfa field to do a little photoshoot of each other. It was so much fun – but rather chilly. XD I hope you enjoy the pictures! (And you can see Megan’s pictures of me here.)

9-1280x960 — I ♥ this one! Megan decided to use it for her blog profile picture. 🙂 I might use one of hers for my profile picture eventually.

Megan experimented with no glasses… she couldn’t see me so it’s a good thing I could see her. XD

I had fun playing around with the next two pictures. 🙂

LILIPUTIAN! 😀

HA HA HA! Lily looks rather taken aback at Megan’s wild shrieks. XD XD Poor, poor bunny.

And now for a few bonus bunny pictures…

allisonsisters-photoshoot-009-1280x960 — Aww, Lily dear!

Which picture was your favorite? Thanks for reading, my friends! 🙂

P. S. Thank you all for your sweet comments and prayers, and I’m happy to say I passed the driver’s test! HIP HIP HOORAY! 😀 😀 😀

P. P. S. The Story of Why I Didn’t Post This Sooner: I dropped my camera’s memory card and it pretty much vanished only it didn’t because it got wedged under the computer desk for a long time and I was bewildered and sad and frightened (not really) and then Dad lifted up the desk and at long last I found my beloved memory card and… The End. (Note: That was NOT a good example of a grammatically correct sentence. Just in case you were wondering.)

Watercolor Experiments

November 6, 2016November 12, 2018 | Allison

I’ve been playing with watercolors a lot lately – specifically with brush lettering – so I decided to show you some of my paintings. 🙂

Oh, I forgot to say…

Hello! 😀 This is one of my favorites.

I really like this one too – ’cause it took a while to make all those dots and vines. XD

Here’s a tip: a good brush makes all the difference! I got a waterbrush from an art giveaway (I’m not sure what brand the brush is), and it has a really nice point that’s good for making tiny details:

And last but not least, we have another one of my favorites… Esther and Eli! 😀

Which painting was your favorite? Do you like to watercolor or do lettering? What is your favorite thing to draw?

***Allison***

P. S. Did you notice my new header? Yep, I painted that too. 😉 So what do you think? Do you like it better, worse, or just the same as my last one?

P. P. S. Guess what I’m doing tomorrow? I’m… hopefully getting my driver’s license! O.o *Gulp* Prayers would be greatly appreciated! ♥

Another Sunset Post?!

November 3, 2016November 3, 2016 | Allison

Yes, yes, I know, another sunset post. “Will they ever end,” you ask me? “Well of course not!” I reply indignantly. XD Why would I give up sunset photography – sunsets are one of my favorite things everrrr! 😀

Therefore and thusly, onwards we go!

allisonsunset-schoolroom-047 — Isn’t it so neat how the clouds look almost like they’re painted?

I hope you enjoyed yet another sunset post. 😀 Have a lovely day, lovely people!

P. S. Random fact of the day: my littlest sister tried to “polish” the furniture and now everything is greasy. XD One of our desks was literally oozing furniture polish. :’) Oh well…

Golden Days

November 1, 2016 | Allison

The other day I went out to take some photos at “the golden hour” as we photographers call it. Heh heh. Maggie came along to protect me from sunburn or vicious groundhogs or something… or perhaps she was just bored. XD

We have a grand old maple in our front yard that’s usually the first to turn colors.

Even though the year is going down in flames, you could say, there were still some bright, spring-like greens around.

Maggie trotted faithfully along beside me and guarded me while I sat and took pictures. ♥ She was on the lookout for those vicious groundhogs, I suppose. XD

The sun turned my hair really a bright red. It’s a little bit reddish-goldish like this in real life, but not this bright! (Yes, I know, rather random pictures. But it was fun!)

2016-10-12-allisonfallcalvesbuildings-106-1280x960 — Please excuse the photobombers (Maggie and my toes).

It’s kind of awkward when you’re trying to photograph your hair (for some reason) so you hold a strand in front of your face and then your dog comes over to make sure you’re not paralyzed or something since you haven’t gotten up for the past 30 seconds or so… *Sigh* XD

You can see the gorgeous sky peeking through the grass in this one. That was probably one of the prettiest skies I’ve seen not counting sunsets!

I love this picture because 1.) look at the bokeh and 2.) look at the cute wittle spiderweb garland hung on the grass! The spiders must have been having a welcome party for autumn.

And lastly but not leastly, I shall leave you with an extremely hilarious picture of Maggie trying to chase down an itch. XD XD XD

BWAHAHAHAHA! Sooo funny!

So there you go. Photos from the golden hour on a golden day in the golden season. Gold is nice, don’t you think?

P. S. Sometimes I don’t like fall because it’s too beautiful. 😛 But seriously, do you ever have that feeling when something’s so beautiful you can’t stand it so you whip out your camera in a frantic attempt to save some of the beauty and capture it forever and that helps a little bit but it’s still just too much? Or is that just me…
