Messing with the blogging world since 2005

PB Challenge (April 2015): Friends and Family

April 30, 2015

I am looking forward to seeing what everybody does with this one.

Did you go more traditional (I did)? Think outside the box? Something else? More friends? More family?

Anybody who has been a part of this challenge for a while had to know the direction I was going … my nephew/godson Cameron was going to be a massive part of this one.

And so he is.

I can’t lie though — there’s a bonus photo at the end. The first five are my “picks” for the month, and the sixth is a bonus as it’s a shot of all the nieces/nephews at Easter.

Anyway, without further adieu… here are my five!

1. Dinner time

Easter dinner and Cam was getting the food on. That weekend, I had rented a fisheye lens, so a few images in this set are with that lens.

Mmmm... nom nom nom.

Mmmm… nom nom nom.

2. What you got?

Cameron was a tad interested in the camera as I took shots of him. And how about Cam rocking the bow tie?

Hello there.

Hello there.

3. In control

When Cam got hold of the remote, there was no telling what was going to happen.

What's on TV?

What’s on TV?

4. Cotton candy

And here’s Cam with his first taste of cotton candy. He didn’t have a ton of it, but he sure seemed to enjoy what he did have.

Cotton candy!

Cotton candy!

5. Laughing

Is there anything better than a child’s laughter?

All smiles!

All smiles!

Bonus! 

All the young’uns at Easter.

Smiling away!

Smiling away!

That’s my five and now it’s your turn!

If you took part in this month’s challenge, make sure to link up below. And for those of you who participated, make sure you try and get to other people’s blogs and comment (here, too!). Let’s continue to grow this challenge and have a strong community. Come back and check out the others who link later on, too!

Also, don’t forget to get back here tomorrow, May 1, to see the theme for May!

NOTE: I set up a Facebook group for those who participate in the challenge and are interested. I’ll post any announcements there and hopefully it can be a place where things are discussed and some interaction etc. You can access it here.

    Cameron is adorable (but you already know that)!

    Great photos.

    I have 2 godchildren – but they live across the country in Seattle, so I’m jealous of your ability to take photos of your godson yourself!

    Hi PJ, I love Camerons red bow tie and I think he likes cotton candy better than he did the snow!

    Hi PJ – I really like how you’ve been including at least one photo of Cam in your monthly photo sets since shortly after he was born. With our boys having reached the young man stage it’s a treat to see a little one like this. For the first time this month, it’s quite obvious that Cam is no longer a baby. Maybe it’s the button-up plaid shirt and bow tie or maybe it’s all the teeth he’s got, but somehow he suddenly seems like a toddler. Nice job showing how much he’s cherished by your extended family.

    Nice set, and cool seeing a fisheye being used! I really like what’s going on in #2 (especially that awesome bow tie!). Looks like you have a great family, and your nephew is adorable! 😀

I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I have her. It’s been a year and four months and she makes me smile and laugh more each day. It’s amazing how much a dog changes your look on life, and how much joy they can bring.

This one is recent from the courthouse square in Delhi. We had some pretty good fall colors this year.

I had Harper so not a lot I could do, but I managed to get the cart off the chair. (See second photo) This was in a local park.

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
