John Deere

The "Tractor Pull" competition at the Rivers County Fair was a first for him and I. My first time in Rivers, Canada and at the Fair. His first time climbing aboard his dad's John Deere. It was a grand moment for us both.

moments with the sea

Last week I finally made my way to the beach for the first time this summer with the family.  Of course, the day I chose to go the air was chilly and we had a thick marine layer that didn't clear up until late afternoon.  The kids didn't mind and still spent most of the day in the water while I sat in my sand chair covered with a beach towel and wearing my hoodie jacket for warmth, but I didn't care.  I was just thankful that I was able to sit still for more than 20 minutes at a time and not be home doing endless piles of dishes or laundry. I love the sea and the salty air no matter what the weather is like and being able to sit there, feeling the cool, salty air on my skin was exactly what I needed. 

Today, share your beach shots or summer moments with us. And don't forget to tag your images with our new tag for this month, #ssmoment and check out Haagen Dazs 50 Summer Moments project. Tag your images #hdmoment for a chance to have your image chosen for their book.

a moment in between

I've been busier than ever this summer with travel. Some work, some play, some more work and so it's been going and will continue to go through the next few months. Traveling means a lot of moments spent in between. Now that summer is clearly in full swing, chances are I'm not the only one who has been taking a trip or two. My guess is you've been on a journey yourself, of one kind or another.

Today, as we begin a new week of stolen moments, let's see your travel shots; your moments between point A and point B where a click of your shutter says it all.

yellow

I love Summer.  I mean I L-O-V-E it, I really do.  Being a SoCal girl, we epitomize summer here and to me, nothing signifies summer more than the color yellow.  It's bright, cheery and exudes a summery warmth.  I've also been told that my aura color is yellow.  It is the color of awakening, inspiration, intelligence and action shared, creative, playful, optimistic, easy-going.  Obviously, those words totally describe me. (Well, if you know me, I'm sure you would agree! Heheh).  Face it, yellow is a happy color and happy it makes me.  :) 

Today, share your happy yellow photos with us.  

And don't forget to share your yellow images right here in the comment thread and in our Shutter Sisters OWP pool on Flickr.  Tag all your color shots this month #sscolormonth to be entered in the drawing at the end of June. 

 

orange

Lately I've been embracing the midday sun and exploring ways to capture the feeling of a hot summer day. I love the way this orange slice transforms into stained glass art when held up to the sky. And as I play along with color month here at Shutter Sisters, I've been reminded of my days in art school spent studying the color wheel. What's across from orange on the color wheel (in other words, its complimentary color)? It's blue! A match made in heaven.

Please share your pure orange photos with us today. Keep in mind that tomorrow's color is yellow orange, so save those shots until then!

Don't forget to add your photo to the the OWP pool on Flickr or on instagram and tag it #sscolormonth! Remember that by playing along, you are automatically registered for a chance to win an Epiphanie camera bag!
