Theme ~ Odd Shots

Chosen by Kathy.


This week was another tough week for me in choosing images to feature.  I'm not sure I did such a great job picking out shots I thought were odd; however, I tried to pick ones that others might think are odd.  So here they are!

My header image, featuring my sweet husband, uncropped:

 This is what happens when you fall asleep at a family gathering.

This next one is odd because of the framing.  It would have been an amazing shot of the sunset with the silhouette of the tree, but I was shooting from the passenger side of our moving vehicle, and caught the window frame on the right, the rear view mirror below the sun, and Fernando's face on the left!  (Mac, I would've had a great view if the steering wheel had been in the British style!)


Yeah, this next one...  Not sure what it was about...  Again, shot out of the passenger window while we were at a red light waiting to turn right.  I hope he found his hamster-loving wife...


Yes, I took a picture of legs.  These two shapely-limbed ladies walked the parade in those shoes.  Which makes it an odd shot.


After said parade, I caught this shot at our friends' post-parade barbecue.  Not sure what they were doing with a door...


I think this was Danny, below, who wanted a little ice cream under his whipped topping!


Hope these brought a smile to your face--or at least made you ponder, huh??  See y'all next week!

Weekly Header Challenge - Celebration

Theme ~ Celebration

Chosen by Tom FG.


Perfect theme; thanks, Tom!!  We've been celebrating lots of things lately, but this one is the biggest:  Our son Jacob graduated from college!  That's him in the header, which was taken right as the graduates walked to their seats and were still standing.  My 70-300mm lens was focused on Jacob, and I was ready to snap away when he looked over and up at us.  It ended up being a perfect shot!

Rather than lots of words, and since I love to tell a story with my images, here's our weekend of celebration.

Friday - The Honors Convocation


Jacob received two medallions--one for completing Honors College requirements,
and one for graduating Magna Cum Laude.




Saturday - The Graduation

Driving from our hotel to the WIU campus; greeted by purple and gold banners!


Jacob spent the night in his old dorm with some buddies.

Taken by Fernando--Jacob gave me several names of friends to take pics of!


The full image of my header.



Moving the tassel--that's Jacob's friend Corey's triumphant face!

Hug from his proud dad.


Sunday - The Celebration

Just a couple of images from our afternoon/evening party!

A celebration must-have--I made two cakes!

Brothers and friends (and a photobomb!) celebrate together.

Can't wait to visit your blogs and celebrate with you!
