31 Days of Inspiration - Day 31 Happy Halloween!

Today is the last day of my 31 Days of Inspiration posts. - It's been a lot of fun sharing the quotes and photos.  I want to thank everyone who stopped by and left such great comments.  I appreciated each one.  So for today I'm doing something just a bit different since it's also Halloween today.  I thought I'd share some Halloween Fun with you all.

 

Coleen  as a Delinquent Devil

 

 

 

That's one BIG spider!

Make no bones about it this guy has lost his head!

 

 

 Very stylish and not to creepy either.

 Pixie meets a "Zombie Dog"

 

The Wicked Witch of the East (no I didn't model for this!)

 

 Pumpkin Art

 

 

Just plain Creepy!

 

 

These Guys know how to "party"

---------------------------

 

I'm not sure how "Inspirational" this quote is but it was fitting for the occasion.  Have a great day!

31 Days of Inspiration - Day 30

Hello & Welcome.

Here is today's Inspiration Photo.  Since yesterday was National Cat's Day I thought it would be appropriate to share this photo today in honor of them.

Not everyone is a "cat lover" but I think the quote today is great.  Life should be easy, natural and enjoyable.  Surround yourself with things you love and you are halfway there!

31 Days of Inspiration - Day 28

Well we are halfway through another week - Hope it's been going well for you.

Here is today's Inspiration Photo:

  If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
                                           Romans 12:18 NIV

31 Days of Inspiration - Day 27

Hello & Welcome. 

Here is today's Inspiration Photo:

My Azalea bush blooms in the fall now instead of in the spring.  It's bugged me since it started doing that about 2-3 years ago.  Then I realized that now I have showy flowers and showy foliage to go with them.  - Happiness!

I like this quote a lot. - Sometimes I find myself envying people who have better camera's, better skills with their camera's etc...but you know when I think about it I take photo's because they make me happy and I enjoy doing it so thats what should matter the most.

It's good advice to live by not just in photography but in life itself.  Go out there today and enjoy life.

31 Days of Inspiration - Day 26

 

 

Happy Monday! Here is today's Inspiration Photo:

 



 

It's laundry day here today.   I will be grateful that I have enough clothes to wear that they need to be washed weekly instead of every day.

How about you?  What can you show "gratitude" for today?

31 Days of Inspiration - Day 25

Thank you to everyone who wished Coleen success with her fund raising yesterday. - She sold all 48 bottles of water and actually earned $56 as some people just donated without buying the $1 bottled water from her.  - She spent 2-1/2 hours selling the water and was very excited about earning that much money for her school.

I'll be off to church shortly but wanted to post today's Inspiration photo first.

One of the ways I keep my mind "even" is by grounding it in Faith. - I hope you will search for a way to keep you mind even as you navigate life as sometimes the path can be steep.  Take care & have a Blessed Day.

31 Days of Inspiration - Day 24

Happy Saturday - Today I will be spending time with Coleen as she tries to sell bottled water to earn money for a school fund raiser so I may not get around to visiting your blogs.

Here is today's Inspiration Photo:

Remember to be thankful for what you have instead of longing for what you don't have.  Life is full of opportunities and blessings if you look for them.

31 Days of Inspiration - Day 23 and Six Word Fridays

Good Fences # 83 - 31 Days of Inspiration - Day 22

 Joining Theresa (The Run-a-round Ranch Report) today for GOOD FENCES and sharing my 31 Days of Inspiration Photo as well.



In the fall you see this wonderful vine all over the place. - I never knew what it was called until I started blogging and learned that it's called, Virginia Creeper.  Which is weird since I live in Washington state not Virginia but who cares....it's just gorgeous.

Oops! - I posted yesterday's Inspiration Photo a Day early. It was supposed to be part of this post.  - Oh well here is a different one for today.

USE IT WISELY

 

On the way to the grocery store one day I spotted a Chain Link fence with this same type of vine on it and stopped to snap some photos to share for Good Fences:

There is a smalle creek running behind that fence and I love how the red, yellow & orange of the vines is mixed in with the green trees.

 

 

Did you spot any bug visitors in this shot?

I'd say these vines dress up that chain link fencing mighty fine.

31 Days of Inspiration - Day 21



Welcome: - Yes this is my 2nd post today. - I needed to post my book review and didn't want to add my Inspiration photo to that post so you get two posts today.

I really liked this quote today.  - Sometimes we let fear of the unkown over take our lives and loose out on appreciating what is around us.  There is always "hope" that things will get better and that life is truly something to be appreciated.

Wishing you all a wonderful and hopeful day filled with many blessings that you can appreciate.

31 Days of Inspiration - Day 20

Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments on this series that I've been doing this month. - If I don't personally reply back to your comment please know that I appreciate each and every one. 

Here is today's Inspiration:

Be respectful of others and be humble. - Have a blessed day.

One Four Challenge and 31 Days of Inspiration - Day 19

 Happy Monday. - For those looking for my 31 Days of Inspiration Photo it will follow after the One Four Challenge here today so keep scrolling down.

It's Week 3 of the One Four Challenge hosted by Robyn from the ( Captivate Me ) blog.

So here is what I did this week:  I took the edit from Week 1, Cloned the flower pot in the corner of the photo and moved it over so I could crop out the telephone pole and most of the tree in the left hand corner.

Wk. 1

Next I used some effects on Pic Monkey to add a different color tone (Rapture Effect) to the scene.

After that I went to Be Funky and used the Cartoonizer Effect to create the photo below:

I saved that image and went back to Pic Monkey and open it up there and then overlayed the 2nd image edit shown here today to get my Final Week 3 edit:

Week 3

I also added the word, (Amour) to finish off the edit.

Here is today's Inspirational Photo:

Sometimes "attitude" is everything. - Wishing you all a great week.

31 Days of Inspiration - Day 18

As I mentioned in yesterday's post I planned to enjoy spending some time out in nature and that's what we did.  Our family took a "Day Trip" to ride the Eaglecap Excursion Train yesterday.

Today Inspirational photo came from that trip. - There will be more photos of the trip later on.

Life is challenging at times and I believe that being grounded in "Faith" is very important. - I'm not pushing religion here but I do feel that for me my Christian walk is a part of who I am and that it's a good and positive thing in my life. - I think everyone has something in their life they believe in and who knows what good we can do if we try to strive towards "positive" ideas to help change the world.

Off to church now. - Have a wonderful day.

31 Days of Inspiration - Day 16

Happy Friday!

Sharing a little Inspiration today with an (altered) shot taken yesterday of a Hot Air Balloon during our Balloon Stampede.  There were very few clouds in the sky so I decided to add some to the shot.

I challenge you to be creative today and enjoy the fun of it.

Good Fences #82 and 31 Days of Inspiration Day 15

 Welcome! - It's a great day to be alive.

Let's join Theresa froom (The Run-a-round Ranch Report) for GOOD FENCES.



While out on a drive one day I spotted some geese in a yard and decided to take some photos. - There were fences there so I figured why not use them for Good Fences.

Here they are looking through the fence.

 Here they are looking over the fence.

This group escaped the fence and headed into the drive way.  Some of these are white while others are that "dirty" gray color.

 

And finally for 31 Days of Inspiration......

 

 

 Don't you just love that birdhouse next to the fence.

Remember to surround yourself with positive people and do your best.

Have a great day.
