Playing With Focus

Ah! How I love white christmas lights! Paired with the christmas feeling, a tree, or snow, they just seem to have a magical feeling to them. I've been playing with manual focus, as you can see. I wanted this to start out quite distorted, only to reveal the true form of the lights in the end.

I've been having fun playing with photography, and I am seriously considering minoring in it! I really do love it. Also I've never taken any real classes in photography, so I think it would be a great learning experience!

Christmas Cookie Decorating!

All Photography by MB

I know, I know! It was just Thanksgiving a few days ago, but hey! Today is the first day of Advent and my family decided they were making Christmas cookies. My dad and little sister (who is 10), came home this morning with sprinkles, cutouts, and ingredients to make the cookies. I thought they were gonna be doing it together, just themselves, but they were having some trouble and called me into the kitchen to save the day (what can I say, I'm a hero! haha). I ended up helping them the rest of the way. 

The cookies above I decorated while everyone is out this evening for Mass (I went earlier today, cause I like it better when the sun is up!). I hadn't put up a post in a bit and thought it was about time! Do you make Christmas cookies? 

Have a lovely day!

The Amazing Cinnamon Roll Pancake

Ok I'm sorry, you're probably really hungry now!

I just made these suckers this morning for my family. I had found the recipe on pinterest.com (one of my favorite websites), and just had to try them out.
You would not BELIEVE the response I got from my younger siblings. They were saying things like "It's even better than a cinnamon roll" "It's so good" and my brother, who's 14 and eats like it's a race, actually took his time eating it slowly. Partly because he was really tired and partly because he was savoring the amazingness.

If you like cinnamon rolls, I'd definitely give this a try, they were really good. The recipe is right though, 1 pancake is plenty!

I hope you all enjoy your sunday and let me know if you give this a try, you'll be amazed!

Bark...Tree Bark That Is

This is a combination of photographs I took this weekend, and photos from last winter. I think it's pretty obvious that the first 3 are the not-so-recent pictures (the snow totally gives it away).

I'm really loving this new start to this now, photography blog! I hope all of you enjoy it also. If there is anything you'd like to see me post (like photographs of something you'd like to see) feel free to leave it in the comments below. 

I love photography so much, I'll go as far as to climb a tree, or get down and dirty lying face to the ground, to get the shot I want! It's so awesome. Still considering minoring in Photography if I can find the time and resources! 

Autumn Leaves

I went out for a walk yesterday, which was unusually sunny, and I look theses pictures of these beautiful fall leaves. I really loved the why the sun shone through them!

Finding Beauty in the Faded

These photo's were taken last winter. I really liked finding these faded flowers and finding how interesting, and even beautiful they were, even without their color or life. 

Experimenting with my blog, and loving photography

All Photography By MB

This blog started out as an attempt at a fashion-type blog, but now I'm really quite interested in using it for mainly my photography (some of which may end up being of my outfits, who knows! This is an awesome adventure!

I have a love for photography, and am even considering minoring in it in college. My major is Communication Design, so having that "eye" for usually pleasing things is what I really love. I hope you enjoy feasting your eyes on my pictures, because I'm thrilled to share them with you, and loved taking them!
