Low-Light by Amy


I was so excited for this challenge!! Some of the most beautiful pictures are those taken with very limited light. They seem to have such a warm and soft glow to them.....that is....unless.....you are stuck at home, caring for a puking child- all weekend!!!!! Nothing soft OR warm about that. Well, maybe warm, but I will stop there. So, my options were minimal for this particular challenge. I thought I was doomed until I walked into my bedroom early last night, and found a spectacular view outside of my window! I just looooooove Colorado! Then, BEHOLD! I was also blessed to have found my five-year-old sleeping smack-dab in front of my lamp. I was saved!!!! This is not what I had in mind- oh no, far from it! BUT, I am satisfied. Thanks for the awesome challenge, Amy!!!! Oh, and just so you know, the picture of our beautiful Colorado sunset is only CROPPED...the colors are straight from the camera. That is just how stunning our sunsets are! Actually, it was even prettier in person.

OH and can I request a new song for your blog....of course now that I have asked I know that A. you will either leave it, or B. put on something louder and funkier.

I am in a quiet kinda sedate mood please.

Awww and here you were whinging about not being able to get some low light photos and WellA!! YOu did a FANTASTIC job!! Love the photo of Jess...and don't ever tell me I am not a photographer and I can't take decent photos, sheesh!! Now as for the sunset another reason for me to never visit Colorado, LMBO...I'll never come back to Texas...Great job Ma'am you inspire me!! P.S. Put some Rolling Stones on your blog to WAKE HELEN UP and snap her out of her Mellow Mood!! Something really loud and obnoxious!!
