Team-Up Thursday: Week Twenty-Eight (UP)

This week's dip looks so simple, doesn't it? A cool shape, a few lines, a pop of color and voila! My shot is definitely less glamorous than Melody's with that lovely balloon soaring into the skies. We were actually at a basketball tournament on the roof of a parking garage, so we were already UP when I looked over and grabbed this photo. I was drawn to the lines in the frame and the possibility of going UP or down with the arrows.

Next week, we'll be tackling MORNING. I thought we'd better do this theme before school begins, when mornings are way more stressful than they are in the summer.

Remember to check out our flickr pool. Dive in while the water's warm!

Mermaid and Mermen

How much fun am I having with this little camera?

We had friends in town visiting, and the kids had a blast at the pool. Actually, they had a blast doing most everything together. Isn't that what summer is all about?

BSM: Street Jam

Harrison participated in Street Jam this weekend, and it was a lot of fun to watch. It's a three-on-three basketball tournament for all ages and levels. It's located on the tops of the parking garages around the Rose Garden, so I actually got the opportunity to take basketball photos in daylight!

The kids won one and lost two, so they didn't move on to the next round, but they did a great job. They are already planning strategy for next year:).

Team-Up Thursday: Week Twenty-Seven (DOORS)

Anyone else wonder where the summer is going? All of a sudden, it's Thursday again, and it's almost the end of July. Next thing you know it will be time to open the DOOR to Fall.

Like how I did that? Melody and I went with DOORS this week, and I absolutely aDOOR her shot of V with that fabulous hat. I swear, that girl is a born model!

My shot is all door, all the time. We ventured downtown this week, and I brought my camera with the express purpose of shooting doors. And I did find some wonderful specimens. This example really was this red -- and I loved the gold "IN."

Show us what you've got this week, and don't forget to make some comments on other dips in the flickr pool.

Next week, Melody and I are going UP for our theme...join us!

Less Than Enthusiastic

One person in this photo is thinking he's got too many sisters.
