Home Is Where My Story Begins

Tree Day

I often wonder how much of my day is spent looking through the camera lens. I absolutely love taking pictures of my kids.

Today was Christmas Tree Day. It’s been a tradition for as long as I can remember. Of course, I brought my camera along.  I’m still learning how to take clear, sharp, pictures and I am in the very, very beginning stages of learning about Photoshop.

I tried to add a little glow in this picture to capture the sun trying to break through the fog.

I didn’t have my big, zoomy, lens but wanted to try some close ups of the water drops on the trees.

At this point, my mother started laughing at me.  “Why are you taking pictures of cob webs again?”  I think I need to work on the whole dew-on-the-spiderweb look, because you can hardly tell there is a spiderweb there.

In the end, we found the perfect tree.  The kids always want to help cut the tree.  My hubby is so patient and lets them try as long as they’d like.  The tree is up, but we snuggled on the couch and watched a movie instead of putting the lights on and decorating.  Maybe tomorrow.

Happy tree hunting!
