Winter or Autumn?

The weather in Montana has been very odd this year. Hardly any snow at all (not even on Christmas!), and the temperatures have felt warmer than usual. We have had a few days of extreme cold, but not many. I am sure it is colder here than for a lot of the country, but for us, it has been a very mild winter.

Last night, we finally got a decent amount of snow. It’s still snowing as I write this. Here’s the funny thing though; the autumn leaves on the trees have not fallen off yet! Considering it is January already, it is such a strange sight to see. Is it Autumn or Winter? Hard to tell lately.

I decided to use some pictures I took this morning of the snowfall to show you what it looks like. Granted, they aren’t the best shots I have ever taken, but I had just crawled out of bed. :)

What’s the weather like in your area this year? If you have a blog, put up some photos and leave me a comment. I would love to see what it looks like in other parts of the world today. :)

i ♥ faces Logo Photo Contest

As a way to kick off my new photo-per-day for my 2010 scrapbook, as well as to challenge myself more with my photography, I have decided to enter the weekly photo contest over at the i ♥ faces website. It looks like it will be really interesting, and I am looking forward to seeing how creative I can get with my photos. :)

This weeks challenge is to incorporate the i ♥ faces logo into one of your photos. This can be either done naturally, (by having an i ♥ faces prop of some sort), or by using a photo/graphics editor.

For my photo, I used a photo that I had taken of my grandbaby Gavin, and my son Draylen. They were in Draylen’s room, and I heard Gavin giggling away! I grabbed my camera, and caught “Unca Draylen” tickling him til his cheeks were pink! What a great photo to use for my first i ♥ faces submission.

I incorporated the logo by using Photoshop Elements 6, and making it look like it was stitched onto the stripe on Gavin’s sleeve. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think! :)

If you want to join in the fun, stop by the i ♥ faces blog!
