I am so jealous of your photographic abilities! I keep trying to get drops of water on plants and they just come out blurry because of my darn digital camera.
But I did post my premier Weekly Winners: http://eyesheartmind.blogspot.com/2008/07/previously-photo-friday-july-14-20-2008.html

Christie,
I’m going to be doing some posts on photography for Blissfully Domestic, but not until they do their re-launch in August. Once I start posting there, I’ll be sure to talk about water droplets.
#39 by Sarcastic Mom, aka Lotus on July 20, 2008 - 10:51 AM
Drea,
We were using the sippy cups with the soft straws before, and cleaning them was a nightmare. He was also chewing on them too much as a replacement for the paci. The hard straws are all business for him. And they clean much more easily! Over all, a good switch.
#40 by Gattina on July 20, 2008 - 11:01 AM

Ok, I think I followed everything on the ticklist…except to email you which I’ll do shortly…oh and I like the doorknob. I mean, nature is always beautiful but it’s harder to make common household items into good photos I think.
#47 by missy wiggins on July 20, 2008 - 2:58 PM
You always have the most awesome floral shots! Lovely photos as usual!
