Photos of the Week: Weeks 47 and 48

Thanks everyone for your sweet comments on my Letter to Me post yesterday! I always love your feedback. :)

I'm so behind on my photo posts that it's not even funny. We're playing some major catch up today! Here are my shots for the past two weeks. As always, I love your comments and your thoughts on which photo is your favorite!

Theme: Black (Project 64)

I had a hard time with finding a black subject, but while we were working cows I snapped this shot of our dog, Dollar. I love the bright blue sky! Check out the other entries at Project 64!

Theme: Show Off Your Shot

You know that any time I make a trip to Stillwater, you'll be seeing pictures of campus. Remember this and this? Well this time is no different. I loved this shot of the library all decorated for Christmas. To see the other entries this week, click here!

Theme: Gathering

I haven't had a chance to blog about our Thanksgiving yet (it's coming next week, I promise!) but I thought that I'd use a photo from our family gathering for this theme. As redneck as it sounds, our whole family arrived and headed to the field behind our house for some target practice. Turns out, everyone totes guns around....shotguns, pistols, bb guns, you name it, we shot it. I liked this shot of the spent shells with the family in the background.

Theme: Decay

I saw this theme coming up and had no clue what I would actually shoot for it. Then when I was in Austin speaking at a conference (remember these pictures), I came across this old tree on the river bank and thought it was a pretty good fit.

Theme: Beyond Reach

I decided to use a picture from the Bedlam game for this one. When I was in school, our football team was good. Josh Fields, Rashaun Woods, Cotton Bowl kind of good. My senior year, we were bad. Didn't make a bowl kind of bad. It seemed like a Big XII Championship and a BCS Bowl Game (got robbed from playing in the National Championship...) was beyond reach. Well that all changed last Saturday night. Here is one of my favorite shots from the game.

Theme: Soft

This is another Thanksgiving picture of my Cousin The Olympian watching the aforementioned family shooting activities. She curled right up on the "soft" hay bales and watched all the chaos.
