Roadsigns and Sunshine...

I thought I would share a picture I took this weekend for the 26 things challenge and I really like the way it came out. I pass this sign on the way to work everyday, it is less than 5 mins from my house. It always has me thinking... I've always found it interesting. LOL!!

Practicing a bit of sunflare, these are so fun!! I tend to get too close to things with my 50mm though, can't you tell I light a tight crop? Do you think the lens flare is distracting? TFL!!

Also, thanks for all the wonderful comments yesterday. Scrapbooking WAS (notice I said was) my first love. I love altering things and making gifts for people, they are always appreciated! Atleast they know I took time and put effort into it myself. If you would like to know how I made the treat bags you can find the template here, I found it way back in 2005- WOWZA!! Hope I get to see some of your treat bags!! They are really simple to make!

Those road signs are great and I love the way your short turned out. You nailed the sunflare too! I also love your shots down below, too. The focus and colors in the lollipops and treat bag shots are so beautiful. I used to make those little treat bags sometimes too. They're so cute.
