Everything Looks Different In Candlelight

Out Of Focus… But It Doesn’t Matter, Does It?

I Vant… To Suck… This Glass.

Perfect Description Of Our Family

Amazingly Painful Beauty

Visiting For A Brief Moment

Shadows & Ripples

Oops, I didn’t know it’s going to be a few more weeks until the relaunch of Blissfully Domestic. You’ll have to wait until then for my blurb on water pictures. I promise it’s not because I’m a lazy douche!

Wow, these pictures are great! I liked the ‘perfect description’ one… very accurate (I laughed with the comment about lil’ Braden)

I love this meme, I’m always looking for pictures I can use on Sunday! I saw the ones that are part of my post today on my way to Skootamatta Lake, so I made sure I would drive by the same place on my way back so I could take the pictures!

I can’t decide which I like better… the descriptions or the photos! The family shot was perfect and I totally said, “I want to suck the glass” in the voice.

Looks like you took the time to smell the roses (or the salt water) this week; nice job. I liked the interpretations, too.

It was fun, I have loads of pictures again this week, that’s why I am so late, but it’s up now!

Please please please, remove the first link! I always forget to link to the post directly!
But the next time I meet a Mr Linky, he remembers this link, and links my Ruby Tuesday or whatever back to the Weekly Winners post, and then it’s wrong again!!!!
And I end up posting two links again!!!
Is there a way to get around this? Please?

Great pictures, as always, but my favourite one is the ” brief moment”.
See you!

#21 by Drea on August 10, 2008 - 6:37 AM

The dragon fly one is my fav.. you have a gift for caturing bugs And the family photo is funny

Lotus that candle photo is COOL!! I might have to “borrow” that to be my next desktop wallpaper

I’m so happy to be back taking and posting photos. I just bought a new camera that is SO much better than the last one. So, it’s now exciting and wonderful again – thanks for the inspiration, always!

Great pictures. I love the starfish – and family shot! Life is a blur!

#35 by *pixie* on August 10, 2008 - 12:43 PM

I love that shot of the family. It does sum things up nicely doesn’t it? Especially Jon, who probably seems to move that quickly through your lives a times.

#36 by *pixie* on August 10, 2008 - 12:44 PM

Hmm…Comment Luv isn’t working for me this week.

#37 by *pixie* on August 10, 2008 - 12:46 PM

Let’s try this instead—just in case mr. linky love goes awry.

#38 by janelle on August 10, 2008 - 12:47 PM

i like the candle shot!

#39 by Laura on August 10, 2008 - 1:27 PM

Candle: very cool!
The jellyfish is like the hardest to ever get a good shot of, at the Boston aquarium anyway, so *excellent* job on that!! The starfish is uber cool–yes, the dragon fly too.

#40 by missy wiggins on August 10, 2008 - 1:59 PM

Such a beautiful set of pics! I wish I could sneak up on bugs where I live but they are too quick for me and my camera.

Thanks for sharing your gift!
