THE CREATIVITY PROJECT // UMBRELLAS
A Photography Theme Blog Circle

This month’s Creativity Project theme is “Umbrellas” or perhaps it’s “Rain”…. To be honest, I’m not quite sure! As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’ve been completely out of the loop.  But one things certain,  I must not like taking my big camera out in the rain because I have no pictures of rain or […]

creativeheartbystephanie - Oh my goodness! Love the dog in his coat to the very last image of dog and the image of the rain boats! I felt like it was going though a nice stroll with you guys on a rainy day :)

Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - Lol! We love that yellow coat. He, unfortunately, despises it!

s. badiyah austin - ok. let me list all the reasons i LOVE this post:

1. i’m an IG fanatic, so seeing the square format just gave me a “fix” like no other!

2. such a creative and cool variety of april images, artistically, i am just, thrilled (the minimalist in me is drawn to that leaf!)

3. such a cool idea! *light bulb* never thought to comb my own feed, cause you’re right, i don’t think i ever bring my camera out in the rain, really…(which, perhaps, i shall, now)

awesome post!!!

Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - You’re on Instagram? Awesome! What’s your handle? I’d love to follow your feed :)

Pam D - Ahhhh… I love your cellphone shots! I wish I had thought of that, AND that explains why I only have BEACH umbrella shots in my archives! The dog in the raincoat made me laugh out loud…

April 10, 2014 - 10:48 am

Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - I was looking around for beach umbrella shots too, but apparently I don’t have very many of those either! lol! I think I just have to take more personal pics in general :)

Life with Kaishon - I think I love this best of all.
You are the best instagrammer.
Promise me you will be my friend forever and ever until the end of time!
This day has been INSANE but I am going to brainstorm about your text right now.
I love you : ) and I am super glad you do not take your big camera out in the rain!

Salma - Beautiful captures! Love the dog in the raincoat. I also love that leaf…so pretty. We still have tons of snow here.

ANYBODY OUT THERE?
Fumbling My Way Around the Blogosphere Once More

I can’t believe that once upon a time I used to blog 5x times per week! Every Monday- Friday. Every single week. 52 weeks per year. Who knew I had so much to say?! Well, I still have lots to say, but these days, I don’t always find the time to trickle those thoughts down […]

Amy - I hear ya! But yes, the key is focusing on what’s important and doing what you can do with all the rest . . .

Gorgeous wedding photos, by the way.

THE CREATIVITY PROJECT // FURRY FRIENDS
A Photography Theme Blog Circle

I’m taking some artistic liberties with my interpretations of this month’s photography theme because my subjects  are neither furry or friendly. But since it’s not everyday that I  get to photograph wildlife in the bayous of Louisiana, I figured I’d share these from the recent swamp tour we took during our time in New Orleans. […]

Life with Kaishon - Maddy! That is so cool! I am glad you could go on that awesome adventure. I loved looking at the alligators. Did they snap at you? I can’t wait to hear more about your trip! I am so thankful that you are able to live out your dreams and travel so much. What a joy!

March 10, 2014 - 8:12 am

Buckeroomama - Thanks for the tour, Maddy! It really did feel like I had a tour of the bayou through your photos. What a great capture of the croc slicing through the water; I hope you weren’t really that close and that it was captured with the help of a good zoom!

March 10, 2014 - 8:28 am

Dan Beeler - These are great! I love the turtles and gator sunning on the log!

March 10, 2014 - 8:52 am

Pam D - Maddy, those are fantastic captures! I want to go to the bayou now (but I’m a little scared… haha!) The gator shots are excellent, but I think I like the turtles best.

March 10, 2014 - 11:24 am

julia - What a great take on the theme. Amazing images Maddy, makes me just want to be there and have adventures !! Love all those little turtles, they look sweet, the gator is pretty scary ;)

photowannabe - Terrific photos. Many years ago we took a similar type tour. There is nothing like seeing those critters up close and personal.

s. badiyah austin - L O V E. the composition of the gator with turtles on either side of it on the log is absolutely stunning. the sign and the wading gator are favorites. beautiful post. nice to get a view of the bayou : )

Sharon Covert - What a cool experience! I LOVE that shot of all the turtles and gators on the log!
