Let's Play Ball!

Last Thursday Seth and I went to the Royals' Opening Day game with some friends.
(kids were with Grandma and Grandpa!)
It was cold, windy, and for a short while rainy.
But we had a blast!
It's just too bad the Royals couldn't pull out a win against the Angels.
(although they did win the remaining games in the series!)

I'll be the first to admit that I'm really no good at sports photography.
So I've adopted a motto, if you will:
"When in doubt, blur it out."

A lot of you already know that I love to use blur/out of focus anyway.
Here are the rest of the shots I took at the game, which are much more artistic than journalistic.




I love, love, love the chair backs at Kauffman Stadium.
Love.








The cotton candy smelled delicious!




And the fans were just the right mix of red, white and blue!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

My Town
There seems to be a lot of hot air ballooners (is that what they're called?) in our town, so we see them every now and then. We saw one while driving, then after we had been home for about a half hour my husband heard "whoosh, whoosh, woooooosh" outside and when we went to see what it was, the air balloon was landing about a block away!

Something Vintage
Last Thursday was the last (free) day to go to a local Children's Farmstead. They have tons of vintage things and my daughter loved climbing on the old tractors, so I thought it fitting to get this shot.

Tilt-Shift Photography
We went to the Kansas State University football game on Saturday and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity for a great tilt-shift shot!
I used Coffeeshop's Teeny Tiny World action.

Dress Up
Last night our town had trick or treating, so Seth dressed up too and took the kids. 
Tthis is not very good by any technical standard, but I caught the moment and therefore it's perfect to me!

Chocolate
I made faux Thin Mint cookies today...just so I would have a chocolate shot. 
The things I do for photography. ;)
