Fall Photos

This post is credit to the photos of the Vivacious Shutterbug a.k.a. my sister's photography :) 

We thought we'd define vivacious

Vivacious:

Lively, bubbly, cheerful, spirited, or animated


The Vivacious Shutterbug and I went out into the woods today to capture some pictures of me and the beautiful fall colors. Even though it was wet outside, we got some really good pics, so I thought I'd share some with you:

About the Vivacious Shutterbug:

 



 Hey there!  I am a natural light photographer which means when I go to take a picture it is only me and my camera.  :)  My favorite types of pictures are un-posed action shots of my animals, friends, and family.  Just give me a Pumpkin Spice Latte and a camera and I will be a happy girl.  Thanks to Lily for allowing me to share my love of photography with you all!

Hi there, readers of Day to Day Journey!

Lily was so sweet in letting me guest post at her lovely blog, and I'm happy to be here! :)

My name is Charlotte Boyer, and I blog at my family's online journal The Boyer Family Singers {boyerfamilysingers.blogspot.com}.

Today I'm simply here to share with you all a little about myself, so here goes...

I don't like chocolate. *gasp*. Yes, yes I know. Weird isn't it? :P

 

My favorite month right now down by the ol' Ohio is October. Just gorgeous weather, and oh! Who could forget the colors??

 

I am an avid beginner in HTML and CSS web design, besides being an avid graphic designer in training

 

I am the youngest in my family (people wise) ;)

 

I sew my own clothes. I'm even working on a skirt drafted by moi, and hope to post it on the ol' blog when I'm finished with it- so keep your eyes out!

 

I'll eat popcorn every night not get tired of it for a whole week. It's de bomb! ;)

 

I sing in a trio with my two older sisters, and I sing the alto part (to anyone musically knowledgeable)

 

I love vintage fashion and silhouettes

 

At our blog, I'm known as "The Little Whispering Birdy"

 

My favorite flavor of milk shake is Strawberry

 

A few of my favorite blogs (besides this one) are: Chapter Thirteen {chapterthirteen-haley.bogspot.com}, I Love... {joannadell.blogspot.com}, and Casey's Elegant Musings {elegantmusings.com}

A Beautiful Colorado Wedding and a Mini Vacation

          Hi there!  Sorry I have not posted in such a long time...School and horses have kept me quite busy over the last couple of weeks! 

          Can you believe how cold it is?  Its like we suddenly had a cold spell!  I am definitely NOT motivated to get up in the morning when it it cold and dark outside, but animals cannot wait and neither can my school  :(  The vibrant colors seem to pop from the trees before they fall to the ground; at least that is one good thing about the weather!  I love Autumn, but usually it is not this cold!   

...............

         
          A few weeks ago my family and I got to fly out to CO for my cousin's wedding and a few days of vacation.  We had a great time.  We went to Estes Park and got a small little hotel near a lake.  Until then, I didn't realize how much I miss the mountains of California!  We went hiking as a family to several lakes...the elevation really had me out of breath at the last lake!  Also, the weather couldn't have been better: it was consistently in the 70's and was sunny and warm.  After a few days in Estes Park, we drove to Fort Collins for my cousin's wedding.  We arrived the day before the wedding so that we could help set up everything.  Yes, my aunt and cousin are brave.  They organized the wedding so that it would be at their house!  How cool is that?  They love to go to 'junk jaunts' and buy vintage/old fashioned furniture and home decor.  Then, they spruce it up to look fresh but rustic...I absolutely love their style preferences!  Anyway, they made most ALL the decorations for the wedding, from the chalk-board menus to the table decorations!  It was all perfectly thought out and very organized.  So, all in all, I thought I'd share some pictures with you.  I apologize ahead of time for all of them...but they are all so pretty!  :)  Enjoy!

 Instead of having a cake, some people (who didn't have to fly to CO) made a wide variety of yummy pies!

 This is where some of the tables where.  I loved the vintage-looking frames!

 I tied the burlap and yarn to more than half of these flowers with the help of some friends

 The "Bride & Groom" tent.  The whole wedding party ate and lounged in this tent

 All the table settings were handmade...notice the burlap on the mason jar and on the table

 This was a great twist and added the 'vintage' feel.  I heard a lot of "How do you use this?"  :)  Is type-writing an old skill already?

This is where they got married 

 So pretty!

 These were some rustic looking doors that they hung some artwork (gifts).  On the table there was a vintage suitcase that people would drop their letters into

 

I guess I should have put this picture first  :)

 

Is that enough pics? Oh, I have to add one (I promise, just one) more picture:

 



I took that this one while we were hiking...pretty amazing (at least for Ohioans), right?!  :)

 

 

Well, bye for now!
