Hi friends.
So…what’s new with you? Nothing much here. Look, I’m sorry I picked such a crappy subject this past week, who knew the sun would be SO ELUSIVE. Even right now, the sky is dull and it’s raining and it’s looked this way now since well, Sunday, maybe?
DULLLLL.
But I’m annoyed because last week…the sun did come out! But I did not take out my camera because I AM A PROCRASTINATOR.
But I was busy while the sun was out…I was making cinnamon rolls!
And eating them!
(no pictures of that because of the sticky.)
And I took pictures of my sister who is 36 weeks pregnant!
and her kids!
And I went shopping!
And Look! It’s Stephanie and I!
(wondering if you guys are distracted, yet…)
What I’m trying to say is that this is the only picture I have of the sun and it’s shining on my morning coffee and well, it may not be exciting to you but coffee is awesome.
So, yeah. WHATEVER. Better luck next week.
Now it’s your turn to share! But first…THE RULES. *please read – REVISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE.*
1. You can join in on this challenge at any time! We welcome & love new participants.
2. ONLY SIGN MR. LINKY IF YOU ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTUAL CHALLENGE.
3. Please make sure you are linking directly to your specific You Capture post in Mr. Linky (and not just your site, for instructions, go here).
4. Make sure you are linking back to this challenge in your post. If you don’t abide by this, your link will be removed. (I know, I’m so mean.)
5. The goal of You Capture is to get you moving with your camera, get creative, don’t use photos from your archives, you’re missing the point, if you do. Challenge yourself!
6. Do your best to visit the other participants’ site – everyone loves the traffic, the comments and the feedback (not just you!)
7. And finally, post as many pictures as you want on your post.
I can’t help but do this challenge again because it’s so heavily on my mind:
FOOD.
Happy Capturing! (and eating.)
Yeah, way to jinx us in the ways of sun this week!
I love all of these pictures, but I really like your sunny coffee cup shot.
Yes, this was a bit of a challenge for those of us who live in the midwest and are struggling to find sunshine some days! But I prevailed!
I love your coffee cup shot-YUM!
“I can’t help but do this challenge again because it’s so heavily on my mind”
You are too funny!
And creative!! I love all of your pictures. As usual. And, hey, you totally get a pass because you’re prego!! In my opinion, you keep dizzingly busy despite the fact that you’re pregnant!
Ha! You’re funny.
I think the steam off the coffee is a great shot.
Those rolls looks delicious…especially on a rainy morning! Your sister looks beautiful…not much longer till her little bundle arrives!
You all are Beautiful people…inside and out!
[...] 19, 2009 by Thea @ Im A Drama Mama I was very excited to hear that this weeks challenge was sunrises and sunsets. I love sunrises and [...]
DAMN THOSE CINNAMON ROLLS!!
The sun didn’t want to come out and play much here either. I was afraid I was going to have to be all creative and stuff.
That cup of coffee looks especially good since I haven’t had any yet this morning.
My first thought when I saw sunsets for this week’s theme was “YAY!! I LOVE SUNSETS ANYWAY!!” because I fit in as many sunset photos as I can, even in non-”sunset” You Captures.
But I did get some very pretty shots the one night it looked really good.
I love your shots, and, hey, I’m easily distracted…
Love the distractions. I got stuck on the cinnamon rolls. Now I am afraid I am going to have to make some!
Congrats to your sister. She is beautiful and you captured her so well!
We haven’t had sun here, either. Recovering from a nor’easter and more impending rain. Gotta love fall!
You look beautiful! As do all the other expectant mamas!
Would you please quit posting pics of those cinnamon rolls? GAH!!!!
So, we’re doing food on Thanksgiving day? I may not post until that night. HA!
Your pics are awesome. And I was TOTALLY distracted, boy are you clever.
Now gimme some of those cinnamon rolls or I’m telling everybody you finked out on your own challenge.
1st – LOL @ Erin’s post (the jinxing us part)!
2nd – The picture of your sister is fantastic.
3rd – Are you kidding me with those cinnamon rolls? Oh, so much salivating….
4th – Coffee is indeed awesome.
Love all the pics, especially the one with your mom – you guys look great!
Your pictures are inspiring. Sunrises and sunsets are some of my favorite things to photograph. With the shorter days though I miss the opportunity – because of breakfast prep, work, kids etc. But the skies are so pretty this time of year and I will make the effort to get out more and snap more pictures.
PS – If you have some extra cinnamon rolls – you can send them my way! Yum!
Cinnamon rolls look delicious! They would go great with my coffee! I have some pumpkin muffins but they aren’t quite the same! LOL
ALL your photos are beautiful. Especially the one of ME!
I think we should revisit sunrise/sunset in the SUMMER time.
Steph
Wow, looking forward to the food challenge…Those cinnamon rolls look awesome…Great pics here!
I love this post, and it’s not because me or my kids are in it. It just sums up your personality to me so well because it’s so amusing.
Carry on.
cinnamon rolls are a weakness of mine-and those look simply wonderful, I can practically smell them!
Love the simplicity of the coffee cup.
I am anxious to see if anyone else had to watch Fiddler on the Roof because Sunrise Sunset got stuck in their head because of your challenge.
But, I am sure it was only me.
If you ask me, a pan of cinnamon rolls is a pan of sunshine. So you captured it just fine.
LOL, those cinnamon buns look rummy! Definitely full of sunshine.
This is my first time linking up — thank you (although I totally cheated — no sun in Nebraska this week, so I posted pictures I took earlier this fall!). I posted my pics yesterday because I thought Wednesdays were You Capture Day — sorry I was a day early. I will be better next time! Next week’s You Capture sounds challenging (although maybe not with Turkey Day!).
Love the pic of your steaming coffee — I could go for that right now, even though it’s the middle of the afternoon.
I just wrote a long comment that got erased for some reason…so I am keeping it short this time. Just wanted to say thanks — this is my first time linking up. I cheated because it’s been gray and gloomy in NE all week — so I posted some sunset pictures I took earlier this fall. Plus I mistakenly thought You Capture was on Wednesdays, so I posted my pictures yesterday. Sorry about that — I will be better next week!
Love you pic of the mug of steaming coffee — I could go for a cup of that right now!
Oh my gosh, now I see that I commented twice. Duh! Sorry I’m such a dork!
OMG….your cinnamon buns look so delicious!
I have so much fun with this that I hope I’m not the one breaking any rules! Your photos are fantastic as usual!
hehehehe.. someone just said your buns look delicious!
Hi Beth
I am cheating a little this week with my links as I have simply linked to a tag ‘catagory’ in my 365 blog. Reason being I haven’t taken any sunrise/set pictures since a few weeks back. It’s pretty much winter here in the UK and the skies are just dull and cold – but the autumn was a different story, so I’ve linked you back to those shots. I didn’t want to re-post them because it takes up storage space & some folks will have seen them before anyway! Hope that’s OK 
[...] You Capture: Sunrise/Sunset [...]
The sun wasn’t too easy to find here either.
I am so bummed that I slacked this week too… I love participating! Your shots are great though – especially the coffee cup one
Loving looking at all he participants this week!
I have to admit I cheated this week. The last real sunrise I saw was on the 8th of November, so mine was taken a little over a week ago.
But I LOVE how you shifted things around. I’m not a coffee drinker, but that cup sure does make me want to cozy up to it.
I had to cheat . . . my photo is a little over a week old.
I’m not a coffee drinker, but this photo just makes me want to cozy right up to that warm cup.
Actually I love all your pictures because you’re such a great photographer! And the sunrise on that coffee cup….it just makes me wish it were time for morning coffee right now. Good job finding sunshine on a cloudy day!
I’m fairly new to your site and loving your weekly challenges…thanks!
So now I want maybe even need cinnamon rolls and not just the kind in the can! UGH!
This is only my second time participating in You Capture, but I love reading your blog and tweets, so I thought I better just jump on in with both feet! Looking forward to sharing with all your followers!
I had to mix it up a bit, too. And I actually LIVE in California, where the sun is a constant. Haha.
I’ll be joining your You Capture as soon as I figure out all the proper links and buttons. I love the idea of the photography challenges. Do they run Wednesday to Wednesday or Thursday to Thursday.
I’m excited, too, about you and your sister having babies so close together. I have two daughters who have had babies 2months/2days apart. From a grandmother’s point of view, it’s a heckuva lot of fun!
I really like the sun on the coffee; your photos are just amazing. I wish I lived near you so you could take photos of our family! Your sis looks so very lovely, too!
Love to picture of the cup of coffee. That would make a perfect desktop background.
My mother always baked cinnamon rolls on our first day of school and I remember coming home to them and eating the house down. I will only eat homemade ones, they are the best.
I had grandiose plans of shooting the sunset in the mountains, but apparently this time of year the sun sets at 4:15 pm! I missed it three times!
I love belly buddy pictures! That is so great and I love the pics of your sis and her kids. And yes, the sun on the cup is nice. Makes me feel warm inside and you are right – coffee is nice!
Yep I second that – I wish you lived near me so you could take our pictures!
Beth- Were those Pioneer Woman’s Cinnamon Rolls?? I have been wanting to try that recipe out.
We had no sun, I was never up at sunrise and I have no idea what I was doing at sunset any day last week. As such, I didn’t participate this week. Food should be fun even though You Capture is on Thursday and we’ll be traveling for Thanksgiving meal(s) so I won’t have any Thanksgiving food. But I have some great meals planned this week!
Beth you look absolutely RADIANT. The rest of the family isn’t bad either. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
