There are a few photo challenges today, so this is one of those weeks that I’m going to combine posts. I’m also severely behind on blog reading and commenting so be patient with me as I make my visits.
Simplicity: Birthday
Thursday is Faith’s birthday, so in honor of her birthday…I thought I’d repost the picture I took from my birthday.
The Paper Mama: Flower and Wishful Pictures: Shadow Play
There isn’t a huge shadow here, but I didn’t want to dig too far back into my archives…this photo seriously cracks me up so I’m going to pimp it out a little bit.B y the way, did you see this tutorial on resizing and sharpening for the web? I’ve decided that she wasn’t snarling at me…she was pretending to be Elvis! Because there is a flower in the background, I thought it’d also work for the Paper Mama.
RAW(e): Pink
I had $10 off at Victoria’s secret so I thought I’d try to spend it (it was burning a hole in my pocket). What did I get? Not a new pair of underwear or sassy bra…but another pair of lounge pants…because you can never have enough. This photo is raw…meaning that I haven’t done any editing. I’ve only watermarked and resized it for my blog.
Perceptive Perspective: Metal
You’ll have to forgive me for not taking a fresh shot for this week’s Perceptive Perspective challenge. However, I did use a shot that I hadn’t previously processed…so that should count for something. During our Photo Walk (gosh…back in July?), this beautiful motorcycle was parked on the side of the road. I was walking with a guy who owned a bike and gave me a few pointers on how to get the best angle (not that I fully represented it here). He told me to get as low to the ground as possible and shoot upwards to really emphasis the size of the bike (I think that’s what all men would say, right?) Anyways, I love the way this shot turned out and I thought it was a great way to represent METAL!
I’ll be back later tonight with my Touch-Up Tuesday. Until then, have a great day! Keep posting your tree photos for the In a Yellow House photo challenge. I think I’ll actually post a few more photos tomorrow.
nice pictures as always, and thanks for the link to the i-phone challenge, you are absolutely right, it is right up my street! Also, thanks for the WOW comment on the like father like son post, funny thing is as I was taking some photos on my i-phone, I looked and saw that that photo was taken on the i-phone and not my Olympus Pen! I was surprised and then smiled as I think it was my i-phone talking to me to say “see I can compete”, and it definitely can!
WOAH YOU ARE A BUSY LADY! I LOVE YOUR CAT’S EXPRESSION SO FUNNY!

Truly love this photo…from a mother who has three children who all ride…I have the greatest respect for bikes and love how you captured this moment!!
Your motorcycle shot just blows me away. And, now that you mention it, I do see the similarity btwn your cat and Elvis : )
What a great shots…..love the pink one…
Great motorcycle shot! You rock Girlie!
Ashley these are all incredible shots. I adore photos of candle light and you captured your cake beautifully. Love the motorcycle photo too. ♥
Thanks for the visit and comment. You asked about the lens for the Hummingbird Hawk Moth. It was the standard Canon 18-55 mm lens that comes with the camera. I cannot remember if I had screwed on a 2x or 4x magnification filter or not.
I love the photos, even if you have used some before LOL! Sometimes life gets so busy it is hard to put up new content everyday! Especially since you post multiple times in one day sometimes. I hope you are having a great week!
My goodness! That is a bunch of photo challenges! Love ‘em all but that kitty one cracks me up. Elvis, indeed!

Ashley, I absolutely love your Raw(e) photo for this week. I must have missed this earlier in the week, but it’s so cute. I love the defocus around the edges. You did a great job with composition. There is nothing better than a new pair of comfy lounge pants!
Cat’s face makes me laugh!!
Motorcycle is AMAZING!! ;D
