I loved every picture, as usual, but there was one that really caught my attention and that was the one of the road at night, not only because it’s great, but also because I have never been able to take a picture like that yet.
Hope you have a great week!

Walking With Scissors
The beehive (wasp’s nest?) gave me the shivers. Gawd, I hate those things. The shot itself is beautiful though. Except that I now feel like I have bugs crawling all over me. *shudder*
Off to look at some shots of the cuteness that is Braden to help me recover!

Wow your photos are amazing. I can’t wait to participate this year now that I’m back in new-mom-taking-40-pictures-a-day mode. I’ve been using my husband’s Rebel sometimes–and I clearly need to start taking some lessons/tutorials to make the most out of it.

@Avril,
Thanks!
Hey, you need to put the Permalink for your post into the Mr. Linky – the link that goes right to that specific post – so I can find it no matter when I click here (and so can anyone else).
This would be it:
http://moms-meanderings.blogspot.com/2009/01/weekly-winners-4-10-jan.html
I fixed it for you this week. Please do that in the future.
Thanks!

Congrats to the winners!! Holy awesome prizes batgirl!!!
Dude, totally get the bitchy moment. It’s a major PITA when people link directly to their blog. I mean really, how hard is it to read the fine print?
The road and the Spinner. Those are my favs this week.
MWAH!

If I had a little boy that cute, I would have totally munched his face of by now, or at least squeezed him very hard. I wonder if that counts as child abuse?

What’s up with Mr.Linky disappearing tonight?!! All of my links from today are gone. Yours for this post are gone. Jen’s are gone. Hmmmm>>any ideas?
Half-Past Kissin’ Times last blog post..Friday Fragments
Sarcastic Mom, aka Lotus
@Half-Past Kissin’ Time,
I’m not sure exactly what causes it, but I’ve noticed it happen from time to time in the past. The first time it happened, I completely FREAKED out. Then they all came back. Since then, I always just feel a bit inconvenienced, but they always come back.
Mine are back right now, hopefully yours is, too!
