A wide open space

I picked this picture for ‘wide open space’ because everytime I hear that song, I think of Shingletown, California where I grew up.
This is Kara when she was about 3 or 4 years old. It was taken on the road I grew up on.
Brightness

This is a shameless way of me being able to tell you all that the boy graduated 10th grade with a 4.0 grade average. He is the brightest one in our family. Cant’cha tell?
In the dark

This would have came out SO much better if I had taken it using the tripod, but I was too lazy.
Okay Ya’all…did you play?



June 8th, 2006 at 11:11 pm
I didn’t play yet. But I’m FIRST!
June 8th, 2006 at 11:16 pm
Love, love, love your darkness photo! Your brightness made me laugh.
I love your photos Kritine, they always inspire.
I played.

I Played!
Your darkness shot is awesome…Everytime I try to shoot the moon it looks like a bad oil lens shot from a b-movie.
June 9th, 2006 at 12:27 am
I played already!!!

June 9th, 2006 at 2:01 am

I love your photos — cute kids you have, and the brightness shot is awesome!

June 9th, 2006 at 3:38 am

The one of Kara on the road is adorable.
I hear you about being too lazy most of the time to drag out my tripod- I’m horrible about that!
Great shots as usual Kristine.
Oh, and I played
June 9th, 2006 at 4:28 am
I played - week #2.
Your pictures are great. Thanks for making me think about my camera in a new way. It’s a new toy for me (Mother’s Day Present) so I’m enjoying see where I can take it.
June 9th, 2006 at 4:51 am
Goofy kid pics are the best. I have one on my blog today (not with SPF, but VBS - so still full of acronyms *lol*).
I wish I had the macro thing on my camera and could do shots like that moon shot. Alas, my point and shoot gets me through the day.
I played.
June 9th, 2006 at 4:55 am
I am digging that dark shot.
June 9th, 2006 at 5:01 am
Blogger hates me and wont let me post pics.
Damn Blogger.
Well off to visit everyone :)

Happy SPF!

I know it’s past Friday, but I finally got to play!
Out of desperation and frustration I’m in the process of moving over to Wordpress. It can’t be any worse!
