You know, I don’t think Eli is a big fan of You Capture today, seems he’ll do anything to keep me from getting it up on my blog today.
So, I need to cut the small talk and get on with it.
Here are my fun shots. Not just fun for Anna, but super fun for me shooting in manual. And then extra fun seeing what a beautiful, fun child I have.

Now, it’s your turn to share! (HURRY, ELI IS WAKING UP! GAHHH!)
First, some basic rules. (for more tips, go here.)
1. USE YOUR OWN PHOTOS. I know, DUH, but apparently not everyone does. (stealing photos from other sources is illegal, kthxbye.)
2. DO NOT SEARCH ARCHIVES FOR OLD PHOTOS that fit the current theme. Although we know you are proud and want to showcase your photos, please feel free to do so, just don’t link it to You Capture. The purpose of You Capture is to get you inspired to pick up your camera.
3. PLEASE LINK TO YOUR BLOG POST ABOUT YOU CAPTURE, not your blog.
Let’s check out some fun!

Water.
Happy Capturing!

























Beth, these are so FUN!!!
Steph
Oh how fun! I love the pure joy on her face and the gorgeous colors in the photos!
Oh, these are soooooo fun! It’s just oozing out of her! Love the editing, too!
love the second photo. reminds me of an Irish Jig.
What happy, fun, beautiful pictures! I love them!
These shots are gorgeous. Great job!
Very fun! I love the editing on that last one!
I do have to admit that I went back into last week for some of my photos – apparently we didn’t have any fun this week!
She is just darling! Those shots just ooze FUN
Hi, Beth! First, your daughter is gorgeous and I love the moments you captured with her. I’m a new follower and am curious… is there a theme each week for “You Capture”? I would love to hop in sometime.
Yep, you’re correct. Both beautiful and fun. I adore these, especially the second one.
I adore these photos and also, I think I need photos of me like this. Preferably in my prom dress.
Hi, Beth! First let me say, your daughter is gorgeous and I love the moments you captured with her. I’m a new follower and I’m curious… is there a them each week for You Capture? I’d love to jump in sometime. Thanks!
That first shot is so perfect, it’s almost unbelievable. I thought, “Did she lift that from a magazine? No, she couldn’t have!” Well done!
How FUN!! Love how happy she looks and the colors are beautiful. Guess my shots this week would have worked for next week too?!? Ha! Luckily we’re heading to the Dells on Monday.
These are such happy pics, great you capture Beth!!
Those are so fun!
I love the processing of the second one.
Great shots…I love the processing in that middle one!
I almost didn’t do this one, when I first saw the word FUN my immediate thought was “darn, I can’t do this one,”… because I realized that I have forgotten how to have fun. So I ended up doing a post about just that, and I took a photo of something that at least makes me smile every time I look at it, and now thanks to you, I am on a quest to rediscover fun!
Love these photos. They came out so warm and vibrant. I have mine up
p.s. your photos are wonderful!
Yay! Kinda makes me want to jump around like that!
Happy Thursday!
Lee
That does look fun. Too bad its not socially acceptable for a grown woman to frolic in the front yard. Looks tempting.
Oh my, that last one is amazing! So Much fun!
This is my first entry for You Capture. I’m SO excited to be part of this! What an awesome excuse to take pictures!!
Your shots are gorgeous. Especially love that last one!
Thanks so much!!
Lovely shots
These are really neat pictures. I wish I had the time to really work with my camera…I applaud you for taking the challenge to only shoot in manual!
Wow, Beth! I love these so much. What a little dancer you have!
anna is delightful. (i suspect she gets that particular gene from her mother, eh?)and you know what else would’ve been SUPERfun? photos of you cavorting on the lawn beside her.
and dangitall, i combined this week’s and next week’s themes into one. now i have to actually *think* to come up with something else waterish.
off to rally the brain cells…
You know I think she’s starting to look more like you with every minute!
This was so much fun!!! =)
Your pics look great, as always!! Looking forward to water next week, more reasons to play in it
So much fun!!!! Great pics!
I wish these days still happened to us grownups! Great shots…I need to learn more about my camera!
Oh Fiddlesticks!!! This is my first time participating, and I already did it wrong!! I’m sorry, Beth! My first link I accidentally placed my blog link and quickly realized I did it wrong. My second link is the correct one — with the link DIRECTLY to the you capture post.
I’m so excited to be participating, but I am a little scared! Viewing all of the entries so far is a little overwhelming — everyone is soooo GOOD!!! I’m excited to be learning from all of you and picking the camera up!
Hello, I am so glad I found your site and meme. I have entered this week for the first time. Thank you for hosting it.
Have a great week. Blessings. xxx
At first I thought it was unfair that you had Anna for ‘You Capture Fun’ and then I realized that even if I had Anna for ‘You Capture Fun’, I wouldn’t have photos like these! You continue to awe and inspire me. Very, very beautiful shots!
I like the vinetting in the second shot, was that done with the camera, or with an editing program?
She looks so happy! Great shots!
What great pictures!! You are so talented. And your daughter is beautiful!
I just found your blog randomly. Love it, it made my day! I can’t wait to pick up my camera now! Thank you!!!
I am hoping to participate in You Capture from here on out…this assignment was fun in itself!
Almost forgot about You Capture this week! Love your fun shots
Fun Fun Fun!!!
Thank you for listing your info. I’ve been playing in manual more and more these days.
THANK YOU for the theme this week, there couldn’t have been a better way to applaud my wonderful Momma and her 62 pounds of weight lost, that woman is having FUN with life again and I got to showcase it thanks to you.
And that kiddo? Woah, double sweetness and cuteness.
only 100, huh? I’ve always been overwhelmed by my manual settings, but this gives me confidence. Thanks!
What a great theme! I cannot wait to look at everyone’s pictures. I love yours so much. You captured such joy!
I love her sweet face just posing for Momma having a blast!!!
I love the second shot I like how it kinda looks artys.
My kids decided to stop fighting long enough for me to capture them having fun! And that’s fun for me!
She is SO.FULL.OF.LIFE!
Love these photos.
Bri
I’d love to have that energy! Great captures
