Flowers

So here I am, still wishing and waiting for *spring* technically it's here, uh, yeah right ;)
 The snow is gone though, thanks to my summer post! [hm, I better start planning some pool parties, incase this keeps up]  I also wanted to mention I recently brought my fahion blog back to life, so if you haven't got a chance yet you should really check it out.

Black and White

dear snow -

 will you please take a spring/summer break? this weather is so funny right now, one day I finally think it's spring! then it snows... then melts! then snows again... yay (not) so I'm boycotting the snow. I'm hoping that if I keep reminding it how much better summer is and focus on summer it will go away. hopefully. 

maybe some summer pictures form last year will frighten the snow into melting... for good (mwahahaha)

 

 Now I know rock beach doesn't look as sunny but it's still t-shirt weather!

That should do it, 

 if this doesn't scare away this dreadful weather,

 I don't know what will!

Marvelous Monday's

 Marvelous-ness is...

 

these boots which i LOVE

 

yes, oh yes, let's see what I like about this... 

1) it's summer 2) I'm tubing! 3) it's at one of my favorite places 4) it's a pretty picture

Marvelous... MONDAY!

Hmmm, now whats 'marvelous'???

These flowers, ah, they remind me that spring is here! {ahem} should, be here.It's 34 degrees outside, AND sunny, so I guess it's pretty nice... not helping my point ;)



This book I'm currently reading, is delightfull. It's about a girl who starts a dress shop in a small town, J.T. Tucker does not at all like the idea of her being there - he thinks dress shops are sinfull and tempting to women, a stumbling block in they're road - but, maybe he's wrong? 

Also if you liked this book you may like:

Marvelous Monday's

Here's something new and {hopefully!} exiting on my blog, today I am starting "Marvelous Monday's"

Which is a post about anything I think is marvelous each Monday so be on the lookout!

 Chocolate-covered-strawberry's. enough said.

 Nail-polish, particularly this one. I know this sounds awfully girlie but its the perfect shade of pink! 

 This view. The picture was taken from inside a car so sorry for the little reflection on the top right ;)

 BRIDE & PREJUDICE, hilariously cheesy version of pride & prejudice. I laugh so hard every time I watch it! I loved it so much I got the soundtrack from the library.

Well this was a fun post! :) 

I hope you liked it to

Our Christmas tree {bokeh}



Christmas Tree Bokeh



1) This is a picture of our Christmas tree, which was taken by me. Although you cannot tell, because of the blurriness, our tree is a pretend, fake, NOT real, tree... I guess it's better than none. I prefer real trees, big evergreens! Those are my favorite, we have had real trees in the past, this year... Mr. Pretend came  to visit.  

2) Your most likely wondering what FratinsPhotography is... Now as many of you know, I am not a "official" photographer. FratinsPhotography is just sort of a way to tell you that I was the one who captured the picture. In the distant future though, it may be greater than that, we'll shall see!

The Beauties of Winter

This picture was on the yahoo news page, and it's so gorgeous I just had to put it on here! Visiting Paris is on my list of "things I wish I could do!", it's so beautiful there, especially in winter, sorry for going on and on about it, but this picture's breathtaking! Ok, I'm getting weird now...

What makes me smile...

Now this makes me smile...

... my lunch

To me this was a very good lunch, because chinese is my favorite food! And I also love iced mocha lattes, isn't the can so cute?? I know you may think me weird for saying a can is cute, but I have to say they did a very good job desiging that can, it makes it very appealing!

Epic Edits

Hello all. I only have one epic edit for today :( and that is...

... Lilacs! Ahem, "pretty" lilacs

I edited this photo using picnik its a really nice [and free] editing site if you are looking to edit. I took this picture in our neighbors yard, it had just rained and i looked outside and saw these beautiful [originally purple] lilacs covered with raindrops. It was very pretty so i grabbed my camera and ran outside, hoping to catch the beautiful site! Originally this picture wasn't so nice, but after editing it i think it turned out pretty well, an epic edit!

If you would like to join in the fun, please do so! All you have to do is make a post with one or more photos you have edited, and label it "Epic Edits". Then leave a post with a link to your blog, you don't have to but if you do I [and anyone who visits my blog] will be able to see it!

Epic Edits

Hello! here are a few "Epic Edits", pictures i edited. They are not exactly epic, but i think that sounded like a interesting post Title! 



ME, summer 2009. I was having a photoshoot with my cousin for our CD cover, although we never recorded our CD...



One of our flowers, it was originaly yellow.



I took this picture of myself while i was waiting for my cousins to arrive for the 4th of July!



Blue dress pictures

Hey! Take a look at these pictures i took of Grace, on my page Grace's Photoshoot, I love them!! and I think the room we were in, and the props, make it look so old fashioned. Grace is so good at modeling for my pictures, thanks grace for letting me take these!! and a sidenote: don't you think that she looks like Taylor Swift in the pictures with the guitar??

Plant Pictures :)

I love this picture!! It's one of the best "flower" pictures i've taken with my camera, my camera was only $50 so it's not the best quality! I love taking pictures outside of plants and flowers, stuff like that, they are so much easier than people, they don't move, and they are so colerful and make good pictures. If you like this picture make sure you check out my plant pics page for some neat photos.
