BLACK & WHITE

You might know me from my other blog A La Carte
I started this blog for my photography
I am joining Tracy at Trinket's and Treasures for a photo party.  Today we are sharing black and white photos.  I am using some old photos and changing them to black & white and cropping them. 

This is the same photo as my header

I like it in B&W also

Not sure I'm so happy with this photo I think it needs more detail and contrast 

 This was taken on Sanibel Island

Taken on a photo shoot in Tenn

 I love this lantern and bought it for $1

And of course my favorite subject 

Charlie kitty is handsome in B&W for sure!  

Thanks Tracy!

If you enjoy photography be sure to visit her party!

Thanks for Viewing My World,

BABY SHOWER

This past Friday night there was a baby shower for Sara & Blake  It was a couples shower with their friends in Athens, GA where they live.  It was so much fun!  My daughter Ashleigh and I drove over together from Atlanta.  They had a Taco pot luck since Sara has been craving tacos during her pregnancy!  Here are some photos of the event.  They were taken with my little power shot and most were taken by others at the shower so they aren't as crisp as I would like.  I have done some photo editing since there was lots of red eye! 

Sara talking with her hands

See that cute baby bump!

 

Blake (sitting) laughing with friends

So much to add to your taco's

Vintage Pyrex...love these gals

Lots of gifts

Octopus Onsie! 

Ashleigh gave Sara a stroller

the real thing was delivered to their house

(me I'm trying to stay out of the photo...didn't work)

 Auntie Ashleigh

Blake and Sara will be the best parents

Their smiles light up the room

Their friends were very generous and they received many things off their registry and some wonderful creative handmade items

I can't wait for Tiger to get here!

SOME THINGS AREN'T MEANT TO BE

For several years now I have wanted another cat.  Right before Christmas I saw this cat at an adoption site in a PetSmart.  Her name is Callie! 

She had been rescued by Georgia Homeless Pets

(this is her photo from their website)
 
 Our Charlie has been an 'only' cat for awhile so we decided to foster Callie to see if Charlie would accept another cat....

While Callie was use to being around other cats

and was very relaxed and happy...

Charlie was not!

Reluctantly we decided that Callie was not going to be able to stay with us.  

Charlie is 11 years old and set in his ways and we decided that a change this big and stressful was not a good thing for him.  We love our Charlie and he must come first in our pet decisions. 

It's amazing how fast one can loose their heart to an animal...Callie stole mine long before she came to visit and she will still have a place there forever

I know she is safe and will find her forever home soon.

Goodbye sweet girl! 

Some things just aren't meant to be....

A VISIT TO THE SMOKIES~CLINGMAN'S DOME

Before Thanksgiving we took a trip to The Smokey Mountains.  We watched the sunset at Clingman's Dome and I took these photos.  It was beautiful and cold up there!

It's dusk

a look through the branches

forming lacy patterns in the sky

They hydrangeas once white and full of life have now withered and dried 

to a gentle shades of sepia
