M4H P52 Weekly theme “Sparkle” and some eye candy

This week’s theme was one I knew I would love! I am such a girly girl and I admit I love anything that sparkles whether it be a product of nature or something like sparkly glitter! Be prepared for a VERY image heavy post! I had such an amazing time going through the Flickr group and looking upon all your beautiful entries! It was not easy at all to pick a favorite as always but the one below really caught my eye!!

I loved this photo for beyond the obvious reason. YES there is a ton of sparkle but the fact that it is rain on a sidewalk.. I mean come on. I would have NEVER guessed. And last minute. Seriously gorgeous. This is amazing! (and remember winners PLEASE email me or use the contact forms so I can send you your prize. Thanks bunches!

I thought this week would’ve been a lot easier considering I have two girls, but nope. Right down to the wire I couldn’t find anything. This was my sidewalk after it rained and the sun came out. It made the ground sparkle and was SO pretty.

And some favs!

All that she intends and she keeps inside isnt on the label…
Cause I have found all that shimmers in the world is sure to fade away again…

I know the name of the song is “Shimmer,” but it has been s.t.u.c.k in my head since last Tuesday.. around the time I checked to see what our weeks theme held in store for me… .. “Sparkle.”

My daughter does not pose well.. and if I get her looking into the camera her face takes this strange shape alien.. I don’t even recognize it.. So I give to her a hand full of glitter and no instructions.. really none ..besides “have fun sunny girl.” {The flower shot was before we began..she didnt know I was watching..}
You see under her own direction is when my baby girl really SPARKLES.. 🙂

Thank you so much for stopping by and any comments 🙂 Good luck to everyone doing their 52 this year!

M4H: Sparkle

A little bokeh and sunflare sparkle on this Friday morning. I like to think that little branch is saying “Pick me, pick me!” to my camera.

Happy (bokeh) Fence Friday!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Our German Shepherd, Zoe, turned seven on Monday. Since then, I have been trying to get a shot of this cupcake in the foreground and her in the background. It turns out Zoe is terrified of lit candles, so tonight I admitted defeat and settled on including just her collar. Who knew she would be more difficult to photograph than my three kids put together! Actually, the funniest thing about this photo is that my kids have been dying to eat the cupcake and haven’t been able to because I said I still needed it for this ridiculous shot. I’m betting they will eat it tomorrow, no matter how stale it is! : )

This is what is left of my failed attempt at my daughter blowing glitter at the camera. lol The glitter went all over the ground and made a pretty little glitter bokeh all over. 🙂 I think it is even in my hair still. I ♥ little girls and their glitter-y sunshine-y sparkly-ness.

My birthstone ring on a Hoya filter case. Hard to capture the real color in an aquamarine that small, but I like how this turned out!

Sparkle 12/52

I am perhaps one of those weird people who loves snow. Takes me to a time when we lived in Washington State and hiked in the woods behind our house and MT. Rainier after a fresh snow fall. White blanketed everything in sight and frozen lakes subtly made their presence known. That, to me, was a fairy tale land I wish I could have made last forever (alas that was my childhood and I was not as into photography at that point otherwise there would be photos galore!). We live in AZ now and my fear of not seeing snow this season was relieved when Monday it snowed most of the day! In the evening the clouds cleared for a little bit to allow the sun to melt what little snow accumulated. This is an image from that moment. The grass/weeds(? I’m not a green thumb! :oP) glistened and bent in the strong wind as I snapped a few shots of the sparkles the snow gave off :o)

She just seems to sparkle in this landscape!

We did have plans of the whole fairy costume, complete with wand, but do you think we could find the wand when we needed it? Of course not, but I still think this suits the theme this week.

I bought this hair pin for my Grandmother’s funeral 20 years ago this past February. After so long, I forgot about it. The other day my daughter Harper was fishing around in a basket full of odds and ends when she pulled this out and said “look Mommy, butty!” I know it’s not the most creative representation of the category, but to me it’s the most meaningful.

I tried to find more traditional sparkle, but I just loved how the sun sparkled on the surface of the merry-go-round, and I’m SURE there is a sparkle in her eyes under those sunglasses!
