SPF: ap·er·ture

June 8th, 2006

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?

    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.

  4. Juliabohemian on June 9, 2006 12:27 am

    I played already!!!
    and Blogger actually loaded ALL 3 of my photos this time!!

  5. Suzanne R on June 9, 2006 2:01 am

    I played — Blogger actually let me early on!

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

  6. Maria on June 9, 2006 2:51 am

    Fabulous photos as always, Kristine.

  7. Lee on June 9, 2006 3:38 am

    congrats to the boy for such good grades….I’ve been singing that damn song for days now too….I played even though I wasn’t sure blogger was gonna let me….

  8. Hemlock on June 9, 2006 3:38 am

    Bright doesn’t always mean smart! ;) Congrats for Tyler. That’s fantastic.

    Beautiful moon shot. I’d love to grab my tripod out someday to get a similar one. Beautiful pics!

  15. Lisa on June 9, 2006 4:20 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

  16. Kirsten on June 9, 2006 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.

  17. Army of Mom on June 9, 2006 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.

  18. southernfriedgirl on June 9, 2006 4:55 am

    I am digging that dark shot.

  19. Michelle on June 9, 2006 5:01 am

    Blogger hates me and wont let me post pics.
    Damn Blogger.

    I played!

  42. sheryl on June 9, 2006 8:23 am

  53. Lynanne on June 9, 2006 11:19 am

    Today was my first time playing :) My photos are pretty uninspiring but everyone has to start somewhere…
    …even if its from the absolute bottom of the grand canyon. :)

  58. Charmed1 on June 9, 2006 1:31 pm

    I’m late, but I played. Or at least I played as well as I could. Blogger decided I couldn’t post my night picture and I tried over and over again, but fact remains I tried.

    Happy SPF!

    Kristine, great minds think alike! great pics as always!

    Love the moon shot. In my next life I’m going to be an astronaut.
    Congrats on the 4.0, my kids never achieved that honor.
    I played.

  65. Susan on June 11, 2006 4:49 pm

    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!
