Thursday's Through The Lense - The Month of July

There haven't been many pictures taken this month. I opted to not do the Photo A Day Challenge, hosted by FatMumSlim this month. The main reason is because I was 8 days in when I realized I'd not done any and I didn't feel like trying to play catch up. But I'm planning to join in for August. Here's the list. I haven't decided yet, but I may post my weekly pictures here. Otherwise, if you have Instagram, you can follow me and see my pictures there ringsgal.

On to this week's pictures. Here's a review of some of my better pictures from the month of July:

 A bridge along the drive from Reno to Carson City

View from my hotel in Carson City (setting in my rental to take the picture)

 One of the buildings in Virginia City, NV (edited with Snapseed app on iPhone)

 Message on the balloons from the kids at the Boys & Girls Club 

The balloons released

 My husband fighting with his little brother and sister over the remote

 My first Angels Game!

Not bad seats...too bad they lost!

Enjoy!

Thursday's Through The Lense - June's Favorites

Here's a look back at some of my favorite photos from June.

 We finally made it back to Disneyland & California Adventure. I got some new ears!  

 Ah...home away from home! I love putting our passes to use!

 The Lego Store in Downtown Disney got some updated Lego "Statues" that are more in tune with where they're located:  Prince Phillip fighting Maleficent in dragon form (from Sleeping Beauty).

 Belle & Beast 

 We found Beast's Library in California Adventure. We each did a little cheesy quiz. Turns out Mr S is most like Buzz Lightyear.

 And I am most like Lady.  

 This is in Eureka, CA. It's the Carson Mansion.

 Along the Trinity River in Northern California

 Whiskeytown Lake, Northern California

Thursday's Through The Lense

I really don't have a specific direction to take today with pictures.  I got my wedding CD about a month ago. I've not ordered ANY from my photographer yet, but I so want to.  So I'm going to share the ones that will probably find themselves on the wall in Ring Manor.

 Family

My three new siblings

My parents

His dad & step-mom

Wedding party

My FAVORITE!!!

 Pomegranates and Wind-chimes

Yes, I own them now, but I still wanted to give a shout out to my AMAZING photographer!

Day 11 - Someone I talked to today

Day 12 - Fork (found on Pinterest)

Day 13 - Sign

Day 14 - Clouds

Day 15 - Car (my battery died a new one didn't help, so my baby's getting a lift to the shop)

And there you have it!  Check out all the other blogs/posting sites featuring others who are joining up for the challenge this month over at FatMumSlim.  I'm looking forward to April's Challenge. Who knows, maybe I'll use my real camera for that one!!

Thursday's Through The Lense

This is, obviously, very late!  Last week (Wed - Fri) I was out and about in Orange County visiting with partners and students.  Thursday night I got home after 6 (thank you CA traffic) and was just way too exhausted to attempt anything beyond sitting on the couch in front of the TV...just ask the hubs, I didn't cook at all those three days!

As you know/remember, I'm doing the March Photo A Day challenge via FatMumSlim and putting my week of pictures here for this month (and next if I decide to do it again).  Last week was the first day so I gave you Day 1.  Here are days 2 through 8.  (and in a couple days I'll give you days 9-15).

Day 2:  Fruit

Day 3:  Your Neighborhood (at night)

Day 4:  Bedside

Day 5:  A Smile

Day 6:  5 PM

Day 7:  Something You Wore

Day 8:  Window (while driving in Buena Park)

And there you have them!  :)

Enjoy...
