Not bad....

 

 

 

 

This blog post is dedicated to the most amazing cat in the world. His name is Oreo (go figure).

That is...well, I guess that's a chicken head.

What can make you cry, laugh, get you pumped up till you feel like taking on the world, change your life, and give you hope.  That is only a few of the things it does, but I'm talking about MUSIC.  It's one of the things that keeps me going.  It's just something we have on this earth that's unexplainable; how it makes us feel.  I love it.  If you have any songs you like I would love to hear them.  I'm all ears, hehe.

Ok, I have a new type of challenge for all of my faithful followers.  All the pictures below were taken close up on purpose.  What you have to do is guess what the objects are.  Pretty easy, huh.  We'll see.  Don't feel bad if you don't know what they are some of them might be a little random...a lot random.

This one is a toughy.  You have to guess what the two little orange lights are coming from.

Good luck.  Whoever gets all of them right should pat themselves on the back.  In a week or more I will post a full picture of all of the pictures above.  On the bonus picture I will just tell you what it is.

Sorry about the longevity between my posts.  Summer school has started for me so I won't be as busy and I will probably have more amazing posts for you guys to enjoy. 

Anyway, the first picture is of a saddened angel who wants to go to Dairy Queen but can't (I took this at the Regionals Tournament).  Tear drop.

This picture is still one of my favorites.  It turned out rather nicely for a ninety dollar camera.  It's a plant for anybody who didn't know.

This picture is quite a sweet picture if I don't say so myself.  I took this picture while in a competition with Mary Bell over who could take the best pictures.  I still don't know who won.

If you have ever seen my bright red tie you will understand why I took this picture.  That red tie is the most fantastic piece of silk ever to touch base on this earth.

If you remember, I took a picture of this castle at the Regionals Tournament.  It was a decoration for the cupcakes at the feast.

This, of course, is a cloud formation that formed for me so I could take an amazing photo (cough).

Totally wicked!

This picture is of our cuckoo clock.  I wasn't even looking when I took this picture (gasp).

That's it for now.

Sometimes thinking is the thing that keeps us going but sometimes it is the thing that drags us down to despair that eventually leads to nowhere but sadness.  And what is sadness, but a thing that hinders our ability to see clearly.  Why is it so hard for us to let go of this sadness so that we can see clearly?  Why would we not want to see clearly?  Why is there so much of this sadness in this world?  Why can't we see the effects of our sin,the sadness that it causes for others, the almost unbearable grief, the grief that sends some people to hell wondering where the answers were?  If we could see clearly would we not all the more strive to be perfect.  If we could clearly see the sadness, would we not as christians strive all the more to spread the light and the answers.  Why is it so hard to die to ourselves and live for someone greater.  Someone greater who has done something that we cannot fully comprehend.  Something that we can't see clearly because of our sadness.  Why not let go of the fear?  Why not strive to be perfect?  Why not spread the light?  Why not give hope to a sad world?

Anyway, cool picture.

This beautiful picture is in honor of my good friend Phillip Brown. 

This picture pretty much describes itself...beautiful.

These are binoculars if you didn't know.

 

Even though my violin was only 180 dollars it is still gorgeous.

 

It almost looks like the clouds are bursting forth with light...almost.

Hopefully you guys aren't getting bored with picture posts.  I just can't stopping taking pictures.  It gives me a sense of satifaction when I capture moments in history that can be looked at over and over again even though that moment in time has passed.

I've had these pictures on my camera for to long, so I decided to share them with you guys.

It was a really nice day out when I had the urge to shoot this amazing shot.

This is one of my favorite ways to take a picture.  It looks really cool when you focus on something really close and then blur the background.

This is my good friend Daniel doing par-core on our church building.

This picture took a lot of patience.  I had to wait for the wind to blow the pages just perfect.

Again, this is Daniel showing off his expert jumping skills.

That's all for now, hope you enjoyed.
