After Dark (by A.J.)

I love the sun.  I love seeing clouds, hearing birds, and just sunlight in general.
But I also love when it's dark.  I love the moon.  I love the shadows trees make.  Dark is almost magical.

The Lake House.

Ha, isn't that the name of a scary movie??

Well, I promise this isn't scary....Unless it's the quality of my pictures. :)

We spent the week at my family's lake house the other week, so I just had to take some pictures.

{If you want to see some ranting I did, feel free to check out THIS POST from my personal blog!}

 Ha, this was an old phone charger that I left over there one time!  {Luckily, I got a new phone last month! :)}

 I just like the pattern of this bag. :)

 I hate making up the bunkbeds, because you can never get the covers straight! {Well, I didn't really try this time... :)}

 I brought Kanani along, and did a photoshoot with her... If you want to see those pictures, you can go to my blog HERE.

 Whenever my nieces and nephews come over to our lake house, we always end up playing UNO.

 I think we have like three or four kinds of UNO over there... Original, flash, attack, and possibly spin, I can't remember. :)

 I thought this clock was pretty photogenic. :)

Don't you think so?? :D

Which picture was your favorite??

I have more from the lake house, but I didn't figure y'all would want to scroll through a whole pile of pictures, so I'll save those for next time! :)

Have a great week, y'all!

Fridays with Rachel + some cool pictures!

Hello everyone! My name is Rachel, but you should already know that. If you don't know about me, please click here.

So, here we are. My first Friday ever on Friends Through Photos (FTP)

(btw, I will be posting every other Friday)

So, I have many, many pictures to post. Not sure which ones I SHOULD post. Hmm, I think I'll post the least recent ones. XD

Here they are, I know they aren't the best, but I didn't have wonderful lighting. :( And I was experimenting, so, yeah! =D

Here you go:

Mirrors! I always think these shots are cool. 

Raindrops on windowsills.

Is this cool, or what!? I took this on the clock, btw

More mirrors!

Some bokeh!

More bokeh!

Even more!

Cool, right!?

Water...

omgoodness. The night I took this picture was... so, omgoodness, i cant even explain it, it was SO BEAUTIFUL! Im not even kidding. It was like a dark night, streetlights on new snow (which is melted now) on the trees and ground. And it was still snowing. Just lightly. So, put all that together remembering that you can only see the snow around the street lights. And that snow was silver. It was so beautiful against the dark sky I just stood staring at it for like half an hour. XD Its envisioned in my memory forever. =)

Any favorites? What do you think?


Guess that picture!
So, I am going to have a little game thing that I will do on my Fridays. I will post a close-up picture of something and you guess what it is. Then come two Fridays, I will tell you the answer and post a farther away picture of it.

Here's the first one:





You all have a wonderful Friday, alright?
