Birthday Girl

A lot happened today. For starters, for Kendle's birthday I photographed some white spider mums. We had talked about this project a long time ago and I thought it was the perfect time to surprise her with a collection of photographs I had taken. I had to have one last round at a mum before I gave her the flowers at her little birthday get together. [photos 1 through 4]

Next, I helped Hank take some photographs (which I really hope turned out okay. I don't mind going out there again if they weren't very good...). At any rate, I took a few photos while I was on my way to the church, there, and on my way back. The desert was looking so good yesterday in the late afternoon sunlight. [photos 5 through 8]

Then I went to Kendle's party! We had a grand time. We are a funny batch of people, let me tell you. [photos 9 and 10]

Kendle, let me tell you, I have wanted to blog your mum photographs so badly. The thing of it was, it would totally ruin your birthday present. Without further ado, here is my favorite photo that I took of the mums for your birthday project. (It's separate from the actual blog post because I took this on Wednesday.) :)

Threads

I got three pairs of shoes for my birthday. I'm in love. And sound like a girl, but it doesn't matter. Looking good is a priority, you know? As Big Mike puts it on Chuck, "In order to get your head right, you've got to get your threads right." That definitely includes shoes.

Cuppin' Cakes

For my birthday I got Rainbow Chip cupcakes. The thing of it is, my mom didn't have enough time to frost them, so they sat unfrosted for a while. Well, I too the initiative and was actually kind of proud that they didn't turn out too ridiculously hideous. Haha.

Birthday Boy

Today is my birthday. It has been really great so far - no work, no school, I played some racquetball, and now am just relaxing. The thing of it is... my present are just chilling on the counter, and I'm seriously bummed that I can't open them. It's so tempting! But I'll leave them there to enjoy them later with my family.

Party It Up

My mom got some flowers at work for her birthday. I though I ought to capture them. That is pretty much my thought process with everything these days-

Ooh, that's neat/fun/pretty/unusual/fancy/gorgeous. I ought to photograph that. I wonder how I could make it more visually interesting...

And there you have it, folks - the workings of my mind. Simple, but oh so sweet.

When Will It Stop?

Could these get any cooler? I swear, I'm never going to take pictures of anything else as long as the lilies and amaryllis are around because they are looking so dang cool! And there are still quite a few buds that haven't opened in the lilies, so I'm looking forward to that!

Break of Dawn

I was up early today. It's been a while since I've seen a sunrise. Haha. But it sure was neat. They always are. And I keep loving the lilies my mom received for her birthday. And two of the amaryllises we've got are blooming. They're so cool.

Celebration

Happy Birthday to Mom! These are a few things we got for her. And as a thoughtful son, I thought she'd enjoy some flowers in addition to the presents we got her. ;)
