Quarterly Top 5- April through June
One of the best things any photographer (amateur or otherwise) can do is look back on their work to see how far they've come. That is part of why I love the Quarterly Top 5- it helps me look back and pick the best shots of *my* kids. Yeah, I know. They're all fuzzy. But they are my babes!
Copper- we've been together more than half my life. He has put on some pounds and turned into a pudgy little pony, but he still looks as elegant and beautiful as the day I got him!
Chowder doesn't know how to stop smiling. He is a fuzzy little ray of pup-shine in our lives!
Ok, so this isn't technically my baby. Scout belongs to some of our friends, and she loves hamming it up for the camera (or anything really). I just couldn't resist this picture!
Not to be ignored, Pepsi had to make her presence felt in this post. Her little white paws are just killer cute:).
As is her propensity for claiming chairs... or shoes... or pretty much anything that sits still for more than 30 seconds... as hers. I'm glad she likes
Stop by and look at the other adorable entries, both fur baby and human baby!

So many photos, so little time!
I love entering all these photo challenges and contests, but sometimes I get confused which prompts go where and who is doing what when! I've found that several other bloggers have great lists of the memes they enjoy, and some (like Mira Crisp's Photo Challenge Index) lay it out so easily! However, I still seem to get lost, so one of these days I will have to make my own list that works for my insane mind. Until then, enjoy some pictures!!

E is for E-Z Walker- this is a hot walker out at my horse barn. If you aren't familiar with them, basically it is asteel and rust colored demon motorized carousel that you can hook your horse to when they need to cool down and it walks them in circles for you. Copper is not a fan. Oh well.

I know this shot isn't terribly whimsical, but I thought the idea of me taking pictures of me, holding flowers picked by me, showing off my atrocious tan line was a bit amusing, so I'll go with amusing=whimsy in this case:).
Mr. Pony made brioche. OMG DROOL!!! So much butter! So many eggs! The house smelled delicious, the bread tasted better, and I wish we could have brioche with every meal! Brioche french toast! Brioche PB&J sammies! It does get a bit dodgy once I think about brioche and steak or stir-fry, but I'm sure I'll figure out a way to make it work:)!
That will do for now:). Thanks for stopping by!

Share the love
Its been a lovely weekend. I'm just stopping by to share some photos and then its off to enjoy more time with my loves {and take some pictures of them as well}. Happy Weekend!

1) Windows/Doors- Isn't a good book like a doorway into another world?
2) Eyelashes- I know, I know. These aren't exactly eyelashes. More like eye whiskers. Whatever- she looks so cute and I wanted to share!
3) Paint- Paint without a brush is like a lime without tequila- lonely and sad.
4) Leaf Veins- Scallop ceviche with lime, avocado and mango puree. Mr. P hasn't gotten around to posting the recipe yet, but check in with him at Consumed Gourmet- he has many tasty recipes, and no worries- this one will show up soon!
5) Faceless Portrait- I love crepe myrtles. I love my new J. Crew dress. I love smelling flowers. I love this image of me!
While it isn't perfect, I still think this shot applies for Elena's perfection prompt this week at Selfie Magic. Its me, I love it, that makes it perfect. Fab.
Join the fun! Next week's prompts are:
1) Pop of Color
2) Crossing Thresholds
3) X-Ray
4) Toy
5) Hidden or Farm

Happiness
Happiness also means getting great images of the man I love!

Before image:
On this shot, all I did was run a PW Boost and Light and Ethereal at 47%, throw on the watermark, and there you are! I really like actions- I know its kinda cheater since I have ZERO idea how to make them myself, but I love how they can make a photo pop and I'm excited about learning more about editing!
