Gone with the Wind.

We have two little rose bush thingies in our "yard." It's so small I don't think it should be even called a yard, but that's what it's called anyway. Sometimes we just leave the roses there or we pick them and put them in vases. This little bud was left there and the wind blew away all the petals and I thought it was way too cute.

 

I love this picture. My mom happens to think it is not cute at all. What do you think?

You Capture - Winter

Check out this week’s challenge at I Should Be Folding Laundry.
Winter.
Uh, not happening here.
It’s sunny and beautiful.
The roses are in full bloom and oh so gorgeous. We had some sort of cold front, but it was not wintery. It was just cold and gloomy. And I happened to love it!

SO!
Have a look at my winter.


Yes, it is summertime here!
The grass is dry and not that eye-pleasing!
But the pink roses are VERY cute.
The sunshine is sweltering hot, but we’re all good.


Enjoy your winter, or summer!

Beauty.

It’s been a while… sorta. But anyhoo.

I’ve been pretty busy lately. School started on Monday and what with taking two different curriculums it gets busy. I have to take a Costa Rican Spanish curriculum and North American curriculum. So that way when I graduate from high school I can go to college in Latin America or North America.
Yeah. It gets confusing. The most confusingest part is that I haven’t passed sixth grade yet. Haha. It’s all a mess that you really don’t care about. But I’m in eighth grade on the North American curriculum.

That has nothing to do with beauty. But I had to explain why I was so busy and hadn’t blogged.

Now for the beauty.


This is a prettiful flower.
I blurred the background so that I could get just the flower in focus.
My brother likes it. I’m not sure what I think yet.
Other than I love yellow things. :)

I’m glad the weekend is here and I can be lazy and enjoy the sunny days.
We have some good wind and sunshine over on our side of the world. And we are in the 70s. We recently had a cold front, though. Everybody was FREEZING and it was only in the low 60s. Yes. For real.

Have a wonderful weekend!

You Capture – Year in Review.

So today over at I Should Be Folding Laundry Beth is encouraging everyone to post their “Year in Review” pictures for You Capture, the weekly contest which has had a two or three week break.

Here are my “Year in Review” pictures, some you have already seen before.


Then there is this one that you may have already seen.


Then there is this one which I absolutely love of D! The silly camera case was in the way of his face, sorry!


Then we have this one of M in December.


Now M again feeding fish.


Some ancient architecture that you may have seen before.


This picture was taken in August. Somehow, August seems like it was decades ago.



And the last one, before I go on and on forever sharing pictures. This is my dearest V all pretty in pink!



Go over to I Should Be Folding Laundry to see everybody else’s great entries!

Dahlia.

 Picture taken by me while my parents were making hallacas.

There are so many things I absolutely love about this picture.

I cropped it some to how I wanted it, but I couldn't do very much good editing because I don't have the computer that has Photoshop CS3 with me right now. So for now Picnik will have to do.

I messed with the exposure a little (ok, a lot) and messed with the saturation a little. Yes, just a little.

I sharpened it a tad and that was it!

Now I love it. Or as much as I can possibly love it after editing it in Picnik!

Have a happy New Year!

So, this is my first blog entry. I've never tried blogging before, but since I like going on and on about everything , I'm pretty sure I'll like it. I am just an average girl living an average life. I love to smile. I enjoy finding pleasure in the minimal things. Bumblebees are my favorite, since I am a lover of everything yellow and black. I am a follower of Christ and my family and I are serving Him in a different country. My first language is Spanish, but English is my "first and a half." (: I love taking pictures and I am going to try to display some of these on here since this is what my blog is for. Below is just a picture I took on Wednesday of some random and cute flowers. It is not edited, but I like this picture.
