The Fog!

I love fog. Except, driving in it. That really scares me. Like I'm going to accidentally run someone over. Irrational thoughts, by Audrey.

I haven't really ever shot in the fog {oops I lied, I took photos once before in it} before these so forgive their over-amateurish qualities.

 couldn't decide if i liked this one...

 or this one...

Ice Storm {Part 2}

    I was editing tonight and decided I wasn't too impressed with the other pictures that I promised you of part 2, so I thought maybe I would try them in black and white (I love black and white photography. Think Ansel Adams or Alfred Eisenstaedt except for the fact that I will never attain to their epic awesomeness).

   So instead of posting all mediocre photos just to post a post (hello from the department of redundancy department) I bring you the ice in black in white :) hope you enjoy!

   (And p.s.-can you help my blog make it 11k pageviews? We're almost there!)

Ice Storm {Part 1}

   I realized I had a lot of photos of the ice storm {although it wasn't nearly as impressive as I thought it would be} so I couldn't show them all to you in one blog post {also I don't have time to edit them in one sitting} that's why I've labelled it "Part One".

   Can you believe it's 2014 already? Seems like yesterday that my dad bought me my first point and shoot and the passion was ignited. My goal for this year is to post more often, and to do that, I'll have to get out there more than I did last year and shoot photos for those posts.

   If you want to get the spark back between you and your camera, I suggest going to watch "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" {the new one with Ben Stiller. I love the old one with Danny Kaye, though, for other reasons} because you will not only want to dust off your camera, but you're going to want to visit Iceland and take amazing photos {I've started saving for my next adventure, who knows where it will be, but one thing I know for sure is that it will be somewhere there are amazing shots to be taken}. Also, you will want to download the soundtrack, because it has some pretty great music on it.

   Okay. So, the photos you have been waiting for {why would you visit this blog if you weren't here for the photos, because the blog writer is kind of a ditz and writes like this is her own personal journal}.....

I want to go back there someday..

...back to the wide open spaces and the bright blue skies of summertime. Anyone care to join me? 

Also, I found this photo today, I thought it was interesting how the Queen Anne's Lace flower pictured below kind of mimics an icy snowflake. Funny how nature does patterns, isn't it?

Frosty Mornings

   I never wake up early enough to give myself time to shoot the awesomeness of frosty mornings. Thanks to going to bed early last night, however, I was able to finally get out there and shoot some of the greatness of the season. Some may say, well, that's just some dead leaves, and cold grass. But I say, no, it stops you in your tracks and takes your breath away when you see it. It's beautiful.

   I decided to just show you the black and white versions today, maybe another day I will get the color ones to the way I remember the colors being.

   Enjoy!

Favorite Instagrams from November

   Okay, I'll admit it. This month I have not taken any "great" Instagrams. But I will say that in October I did. Too bad I'm only showing you Novembers in this blog post (I bet you wish you were following me on Instagram, now, don't you? Too bad my account is private, muahahahahah). I will also admit that I get really excited when I email myself, because then I know that it's not just another junk email from some big box store telling me I'm going to love the new coupon (let me tell you, big box store, if you're reading this, and I can guarantee you that you probably aren't, so, empty rant, I hardly ever love your coupon. Just sayin'). Anyways, here are my top three from this month.

3. Tell me I'm not the only Doctor Who fan. My friend and I (I coached her into doing it) did the tally marks on our faces and hands for the special. However, readers, if you ever decide to do this, please make sure that it comes off easier than mine did. I must have spent a half hour scrubbing that stuff off. Maybe I should just break down and buy some makeup remover. Can you tell I grew up with boys? 

2. Okay, so I'm a big Honda nerd, too. I would marry my Civic if it weren't a car. Okay, that came out wrong. You know (I hope) what I mean. One day I tweeted about my civic. The next day, Honda tweeted this. Awwww.....

1. And my number one pick for this month is...insert long annoying drumroll here...frost on the windshield. Even though we'll be seeing frosty windows here for the next eight months. :) 

OH, before I leave you readers cliff-hanging for next post, I wanted to tell you all how excited I am that Instagram is finally(!) on Windows phone! Yay! No more third-party apps! 

This Autumn..

   Okay, I'm going to be brutally honest here. I stink. Not as in the "I haven't taken a shower today" sense, but in the sense of "I haven't posted anything here since the beginning of September and really that is just way too long." So, I'm going to have to say, I'm sorry. I've been saying sorry a lot lately, at least that's what I feel like. But enough remorse and diddle daddle. (Which coincidentally, diddle is a word, but daddle isn't? Excuse me, spellcheck. It's in my dictionary.)

   Anywho. To the pictures. Maybe the reason I haven't posted on here is because I haven't taken the Rebel out very often. Which is a big no-no. I'll have to add "apologize to my camera and look like a crazy person" to my to-do list. Do you ever add things to lists just to cross them off? I do. All the time. Makes me feel accomplished. At least in a small mental way.

   Oh, exciting news! I've started a typography class. It's just really small and probably won't amount to much, but have I ever told you how much I just love typography? Maybe it's because it ends in -ography just like photography. But then again, I'm not into oceanography and that also ends in -ography. My eyes feel like they are at a delicious buffet of words when I look at a picture of words. Maybe I love it because I think typography is beautiful to look at, just like a wonderfully captured photograph.

   I thought today I would share with you (besides nonsensical ramblings) yet another flower picture. I was intrigued with this flower, it looks so different than other flowers I've seen. I also absolutely adore the color. What do you think?
