Miscellaneous Rambings

Hi all! :) Sorry I completely abandoned my blog for over a week. It was state testing week, so I had to make sure I got to bed early. Also, I had my last volleyball tournament. I've been playing volleyball almost nonstop since November, and now I'm done. I can't wait to start enjoying the break! :P

1. Flowers 

Flowers are blooming everywhere. It makes me in such a good mood! :D Sadly, most of the flowers blooming are NOT in my yard yet, so I have to settle for taking pictures at other people's houses. 

2. Dandelions

 Not only are flowers blooming, but so are dandelions, and trust me, these are in my yard! :P

3. Rain

It's been raining a TON this week. One morning, it even snowed. :/

4. Volleyball

Like I said before, I had my last volleyball tournament. It was a very sad day. :'( {you can tell because all of our make-up was washed away from tears} I've been playing with these girls since 5th grade and next year, we are all splitting up. We'll all be going to different high schools. (my school only goes up to grade 8) So yah, it was sad for us. 

5. Sunsets + Buildings

After volleyball on Thursday, there was the prettiest sunset. Not only was it SO amazingly beautiful, but it made all of the buildings around us look really cool too. I pulled out my camera and tried to capture a few photos.

I hope you all are having a great weekend! :D

Rain photos

The rain is back. We had so much sun for days, but now the rain is back for the next week or so. There is an upside to rain though! I have a waterproof camera so I love to go and take pictures in the rain. :-) Here are a couple of the pictures I have taken in the rain.

 I have to start with my favorite picture. It's SO pretty! I wish I could capture this kind of photo every day! :-)

 This one is really cool because you can see the rain drops perfectly on a multicolored leaf.

 More Irises. I just like how this picture looks. The backround is kind of blurry with brings out the flowers. The water droplets also give a nice effect to the flower/photo.

 Lime green! No way! I love how you can see the rain drops perfectly and the other leaves in the backround give the picture more depth.

I like this one because you can actually see the rain falling! The bad thing is, is that it's really blurry.

Do you like the rain? Do you have a waterproof camera? There are more picture in the rain coming!

Summer/Green #1/Thankful for...

It is officially summer for me now. I'm so excited! I have a long list of things to do in the summer and I really want to get them all done. So yeah! Today was the last day of school for me. We only had a half day. We played a couple of games, then it started pouring so we had to go inside. I was soaking wet! URG! It stopped raining, but we still did one game inside. Then we had closing chapel and the picnic! There were SO many colorful foods at the picnic. Too bad I didn't get pictures of them. People call me crazy because of how many pictures I take. So, back on the summer theme, here are some photos I have {recently} taken. No edit! (also, things I'm thankful for...)
