It’s Snapshot Sunday! Here are just a couple snaps from our Super Bowl celebration.

Super Bowl dinner…

With a glass of milk it’s a well-rounded meal, right?

Kristi was really into the Super Bowl.

The scenery for my Scenic Saturday was a different type of colorful again. I didn’t even go outside to take pictures! I took pictures of the scenery inside. Ken and I took Fancy and her friend Josh out for dinner at the steak house and then to a movie. We all got dressed up a bit and enjoyed a nice evening together.

 

 

 

On another note – I just joined a great group called the SITStahood. It’s a group of bloggers who support each other by commenting on blogs. One of the challenges they’ve offered is to develop our “tribe” (group of like-minded bloggers) by identifying some of our regular commenters. I am so thankful for all of my regular visitors! If you haven’t already checked these blogs out, be sure to stop by – you’ll find great information and probably inspiration!

My friend Sandra is doing the 365 project with me – great photos here! She is constantly inspiring me to do more/better.

Julie is not a photo blogger, she’s a professional organizer! I don’t know about you, but I sure can use help with organization!

Another 365 friend, Leslie, has heart-warming photos and encouraging thoughts. She also has beautiful children!

Amanda and I have been learning and growing in our photography together for over a year. I love how she’s always trying new stuff – check her out!

Don’t miss this fabulous blog by Katie. She is not only an amazing photographer, she’s a sharp entrepreneur. Lots to learn from her! (Katie, I’m thinking about you and your workshop today!)

(Blog friends, if I didn’t mention you today, don’t fret. I will soon!)

It took me a long time to get around to my Friday Food today. I’ve been very tired all day…didn’t feel like cooking, so we had Freschetta pizza for dinner. Ken and some of the kids love the spinach and mushroom one with a cream sauce. Weirdos.

I lit this by bouncing a flash of a window and filling with a white poster board.

The Fun Friday Foto challenge was The Color of Love.

To me, the color of love is the olive-toned skin of a man from Nazareth. It’s the sun-bronzed, calloused hands of a carpenter. It’s the black hair of the Heavenly who constrained Himself to a human body. The color of Love is the gray-brown color of a wooden cross. It’s the white of celestial robes. It’s the glistening Light of Heaven. The Color of Love is so much more than pigment – it is the glory of Jesus.

My Thankful Thursday entry is two snapshots – but snapshots of people for whom I am thankful. I had coffee and YUMMY pull-apart bread with my ebullient friend Felice and my effervescent friend Michele today. It was great to sit and talk with them for a couple hours this morning! I am so glad I have good friends.

Well, as I mentioned on the Project 365 group board, it was more of a Slideabout Wednesday than a Walkabout Wednesday. So instead of walking around the town shooting whatever, I scooted down the sidewalk and took pictures of the ice.

This winter has been so strange here in Western Montana. We had one cold snap, and a couple snowfalls, but really, it hasn’t been wintery. It’s been warmer than normal, but just cold enough to make the streets and sidewalks treacherous. I don’t mind the temps, but I don’t like the ice! But as quickly as time goes, I’m sure it won’t be long before I’m saying “I wish it wasn’t so hot!” lol.

Thanks for dropping by my blog. I sure do appreciate all the visitors!

Here’s some texture for Texture Tuesday…

These are from my neighbor’s birch tree. Such a great tree!

Happy February!

Photographers, if you’re not a follower of The Pioneer Woman’s photography blog, you should be. She shares great photos, good info, and a lot of inspiration. If you’re not a photographer and you don’t follow The Pioneer Woman’s Confessions blog you’re really missing out. She’s funny, talented, and a very real person. She must spend a lot of time blogging – she has so much going on over on her site!

Anyway…there is a point to this…The Pioneer Woman has a Charlie. I want a Charlie. He’s beautiful and wonderful!  I know that I will not have a Charlie any time soon, but I sure do love her posts about Charlie. Here’s my very favoritest one.

Since I don’t have and won’t have a Charlie soon, I decided to take pictures of the closest thing in my house. (By the way, Mom, this is actually yours. Barbara got it for you at the auction.) :-)

Thanks for stopping by on Monochrome Monday!

(Oh – lit by a candle and some ambient light, ISO 1600)
