Team-Up Thursday: Week Fifteen

So I finally got around to looking at all the dips from last week -- and the many banana shots -- in the flickr pool. What fun! After a vacation, even a brief weekend getaway, it's nice to have something fun to do, and checking out all your great team-ups fit the bill.

This week, FRIENDS was our theme. I thought I would come back from my girls' weekend with tons of artistic and exciting shots from which to choose. Yeah, not so much. We had a blast, and maybe because of that fact, I really didn't take many shots. When we went out and about, it was two other gals with small p & s cameras that did most of the photo taking. Especially when we went dancing until all hours.

This shot was one of our beach walks where I did take my camera. I couldn't resist that lovely light late in the day. In fact, both Melody and I seem to have chosen golden light moments for our shots this week. Melody's shot, with the three kids all in mid-action in that wonderful field of flowers -- just delicious!

For me, I'm still savoring the girl time:).

Remember to post to our fabulous flickr pool. I get inspired every time I look at the creations in our group.

Also, Melody and I are going to try to post our new theme for the upcoming week on Thursdays. Hopefully we can stay on the ball. To that end, we're going to tackle MOM this week...so join us or pick your own. Either way, we'll see you back here next week!

I so love these shots, the one with the children and the homemade tipi is wonderful and boy would I like to sink my toes into that sand right about now, no more of this snow.
My wonderful friend and photographer teacher Michel and I teamed up this week and did patterns.
I am having so much fun doing this with her and learning so much.
With you posting your theme on Thursdays we will be able to have time to join in on your fun as well.

Hi everyone - I LOVE the top photo - that will be such a cherished photo in the future - you captured it perfectly - doesn't look staged - just kids having fun.

Love the second as well - as there's no other place I'd rather be than on the beach with my friends!!! LOVE the colors in both.

Corey and I did NEGATIVE SPACE!

Both images are beautiful! Love the field of flowers. And how lucky to spend time with your friends. Sounds like fun. Dawn and I did "light"

Amanda said...

These are great! I love how relaxed the beach scene is...and yet, how much it makes me think about how friends together is often just the kind of retreat we need to keep moving forward!

The colors in both are amazing - I'm especially loving that tent!

Here's our dip for this week's Moment in Time theme!

JoLyn @ A Year of Happy said...

Both shots are fabulous! I had a busy week so have posted a bit late, we did friends as well! Thanks for the theme early - having the weekend to shoot is great!

How fun!? Both photographs have a sense of freedom and being lost in a moment. The quality of light in both fit so well together. Beautiful!
