I am still trying to keep up with the Photo of the Day challenge. But sometimes I wonder if pictures of my cute kids gets dull after a while, so I have been (finally) reading the manual for my camera and have tried to take some landscape shots. I was really inspired and humbled by Emily and Heidi's dad's amazing photos on his blog. After seeing my feeble attempts you will realise that I have a long way to go before I can take even halfway decent pictures of landscapes. The other night as I was driving out of Alburtis, through some cornfields there was an awe-inspiring sunset and I was kicking myself for not bringing the camera, then the next night I brought it and tried to capture it, but, no dice.
September 18 POD
This was almost the color of the sky, just imagine it intensified like a million times, but the foreground was visible like in the next picture.
This was exactly the same shot, but with a different setting on the camera, so you can see the lovely cornfield, but the sky looks bland. I guess I really do need to take a photography class sometime. I'll put that on my to-do- after-Dallin-is-in-first-grade list.September 19 POD Dallin is my ever-ready subject when trying to keep up with taking a picture every day. I love his chubby profile, sometimes I try to imagine what his face will look like as a grown man.
Sorry I haven't been writing much. I really am planning on it and planning to get inspired (as if that is something you can pan for) to write about something interesting, like politics and why I strongly believe that one issue that a president doesn't have much control over is not enough reason to elect them. Rebekah, and Erin, you know what I am talking about, I am just to shy and non-commital to make bold political statements on my blog, I don't want to alienate anyone who might be reading it. I have found that most people that I really like and get along with don't necessarily share my political views, so I keep them quite. I don't know if that is a wimpy attitude or not. I really wish wimpy was spelled with an h like whimpy.

I love that first picture of Dallin! His hair is so cute! The only way to get good at pictures is lots of practice so you're on the right track. And I think you should write your political views! I don't know who to vote for so I could use some input. I don't like McCain (and swore if he won the ticket I wouldn't vote for him) and I feel irresponsible voting for Obama by default when I don't know enough about his politics.
Oh and I want to come visit you.
It's your blog, write what you want! I want to hear your political ideas. And I too wish that wimpy was spelled with an h.
