Its About That Time...

I hope all of my blogging friends here in the U.S. had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!   We sure did and I am so very thankful for my family and friends, and all that God has blessed us with.   Now that we have gotten through Thanksgiving holiday - it is about that time....

This is a SOOC (please visit there for more great SOOC pics) shot of some our ornaments from the tree last year and tomorrow we will get our tree for this Christmas season.   I love the way a Fraser Fir Christmas tree smells; so fragant and festive!

I'll be catching up with all of you tomorrow.   Have a blessed Sunday!

Fall Mantle - Just for fun and SOOC

Karen over at What Karen Sees is trying something new and I agreed to post a pic of my fall mantle on Friday, but have been slack this weekend and am just getting it posted. 

You can post any favorite pic - I just chose the mantle because it is also SOOC and I have not posted there today.   I did my laundry but not much cleaning - too busy with basketball games, early Thanksgiving gatherings, etc.    There is always stuff to be done around the house, but none of it is nearly as much fun as blogging with my friends!

SOOC Sunday - Cotton Bokeh

I snapped this cotton bloom a few months ago in the early morning.  The sun was just coming up and I caught some great bokeh in the background - a very nice surprise when I pulled it up on the computer!  

This is SOOC other than a little bit of a crop.    Go visit Jan for more great SOOC shots at Murrieta 365.

Have a blessed Sunday!

Happy Halloween - SOOC

Its that time of year again - costumes, candy, and finally some cooler weather!  

This skull hangs out on our front porch along with pumpkins, a bat, some skeletons, etc.  

These are straight out of the camera with no editing.  Be sure to visit Murrieta365 for more great SOOC shots.

Wishing you all a Happy Halloween!

SOOC - Howl at the Moon...

We have had a gorgeous full moon and I was able to catch this shot SOOC on a tripod and cropped.

It reminds me of a melon with the bottom half resembling where a stem might have been removed.  Click herefor more great SOOC shots.

Have a blessed Sunday!

Flutes - SOOC Sunday

I found what I believe is a "dirt dobber" nest on the inside of a barn.  At least that is what we called them growing up - please feel to shout out a correction.  

The colors were great and they looked like flutes (or another kind of instrument?).   Visit Murrieta 365 for more great SOOC shots.

Have a blessed Sunday!

SOOC Sunday - Discarded

This petunia was on the side of the road on top of a pile of grass clippings.   It had been discarded, but looked like it still had a little bit of life left to it. 

Check out other SOOC (straight out of the camera) shots over at. Murrieta365.

Wishing all of you a blessed Sunday!
