Big Sis

Today my mom and I decided to take pictures of my sister.  We went to the boardwalk by my house.  There was snow on the ground and we thought it was the perfect day to take pictures.  The boardwalk it special to me because this is where I will go for bike rides with my family.  I like it because it has great views of the lake in the spring and summer.  I like seeing the ducks and swans swimming in the water.

I picked this picture because it wasn't a dark picture and it is kind of the only good one I got of her.

Remembories 
dedicated my Great-Grandma

I picked this picture because it was the only one that wasn't blurry.  I used a 50mm lens and it was hard to take pictures with.  I used a wide aperture and the shutter speed was slow.  The slow shutter speed caused me to have blurry pictures.  I liked taking pictures of pretty flowers.  

Today was my great-grandma's birthday. My grandma loved flowers.  When I was up north my sister and I picked flowers and gave them to my great-grandma.  She loved when I picked her flowers.   I miss her very very much.

The Tea Party (2)

Hi, I'm back with Tea Party 2.  At the tea party I danced and sang.  I sang the song The Perfect Princess Tea before we ate the food.  I danced before we sang though.  For lunch we had a ham sandwich on white and wheat bread.  We also had a fruit salad.  For desert we had a cupcake and three Heresy kisses.  I had a lot of fun at the tea party and hope to have another one.

Sweet Hearts

Today is Valenines Day and my mom and I wanted to take pictures of sweethearts.  I learned about aperture.  When the aperture is small, less light comes in and when it is big, more light comes in.  I took this picture with a large aperture.  I liked this picture because only the first couple hearts are in focus and the rest trail off.   If I used a small aperture more would have been in focus.  To take this picture we put sweettarts onto of my mirror.

Trees in the Sky

Today my mom and I went to Dodge Park to take some pictures.  We took pictures of the trees because they were skinny and looked cool.  We had to walk back to the park because the car couldn't get through the snow.  When we arrived at the park we saw a van stuck in the snow.  Some guys on snowmobiles tried to help get the van unstuck but they couldn't.  The driver finally got the van unstuck and drove out of the park.  

What I liked about taking pictures at the park was that the trees were skinny thin.  I thought they looked cool.  I thought it would look cool if I took a picture looking upward because I took one like that in Holland.   I picked this picture as my picture for the week because it was my favorite.
