I’m more than a little behind, I know. Summer is a crazy, blurry passage of time–or at least it’s turning out to be one. Who told August it was okay to be August? I do not know. The other week my great aunt passed away. She was only 66 and she was a very kind woman and she will be missed.
In less sad news, the winner of my Awesome Books Week giveaway is Angie! Angie was contacted and the books are one their way to her as I type this. Thank you everyone for taking the time to read the interviews, as well as commenting on them. It was my pleasure to spotlight and share some fabulous, contemporary YA fiction with you. I hope you’ll check them out!
Other than that, not a whole lot is going on. At least, nothing that makes a very good blog entry. Post-Fall for Anything it seems like I am dealing with a little creative burnout, writing wise! I’ve been trying to write through it (it’s what I’ve got to do!), but the other night, I MAY have taken a break to transfer some old photos from one computer to the other and got a little bit nostalgic. It made me realize how much I missed taking photographs. There was a point in time where I didn’t go very far without my camera. It was a nice outlet, and a revealing one; I could always tell writing was not going that great when I picked up my camera and that the writing was moving along when I was neglecting it…
Anyway, I haven’t played around with my D80 like that for a while. Which is terrible because it is a fantastic camera. And also lame of me because photography plays a huge part in Fall for Anything (spoiler: Fall For Anything is actually about killer and/or posessed cameras!), so ANYWAY, I took out my Nikon today and here are some photographs I took:
It was at times, a little frustrating getting reacquainted with my camera but mostly it was nice, so maybe I will take some more photographs tomorrow.

The pictures are gorgeous and amazing! I can’t wait to see what you’ll do next.
Thank you, Gabry! :)
Love the photos and am very sorry about your aunt.
Thanks, Kathleen. Appreciate it.
um… it kinda sorta looks like, in the second photo on the right, SOMETHING HORRIBLE IS CRAWLING OUT OF THAT TREE!!!
SOMETHING WAS!!! WE BARELY ESCAPED WITH OUR LIVES!!!
Great photos. I like the bird on the wire. Your composition is what makes it interesting, like the picture is reading the bird’s mind.
“Think I might…nah…maybe…in a few seconds…”
Those pictures are amazing!!
But I’m also really sorry to hear about your great aunt. :/ That really sucks.
Love, Hannah
Sorry for your loss.
And these pictures are so BEAUTIFUL. I especially like the last one, and how it’s the new picture on the home page, though I kinda miss the cow. Lol.
I’m sorry to hear about your great aunt, Courtney. But you’re so right about August. Where does it get off pulling this kind of crap!
I really like your photos (I hope you continue to put up more) – especially the one of the geese on green water (so serene) and the bird on a wire.
I’ve always liked your photos. Between writing, photography, and playing musical instruments- you gots some talents lady :)
You are heavenly.
Gorgeous pics, bb. Full of texture–love that. :)
Great pics! And so sorry to hear about your great aunt.
I took some pics yesterday too, for the first time in ages and really tried to figure out what I can get my camera to do. Looking forward to the haunted camera storyline!!
Which by the way has sorta been done – have you ever read the novella by Stephen King called (I think) The Sun Dog? I think it’s in his 4 Past Midnight collection and if you like reading hhorror as well as watching it, well then I’d highly recommend it!
Doug: Hah!! I love that interpretation.
Hannah: Thank you on both counts. :)
Raven: Thank you and thank you. And hee, I miss the cow a little too. He may one day make a comeback!
C.K.: Thank you! And seriously, I thought August would at least discuss with everyone before it actually came upon us? RUDE!
Brian: Aw, thank you.
Robby: :)
Linda: Thank you!!
Starrynite: Thank you. And yaaay for taking pics! I am really intuitive and I know I could get more out of my camera if I… read the manuel. Heh. I haven’t read The Sun Dog! I will def. check it out!!
You are very talented and that’s why I married you.
I thought you married me because I was so GORGEOUS. *SOBBING* (ty bb). <3
You’ve put Fatboy Slim’s BIRD OF PREY in my head…AGAIN.
Also, I thought the first two pics were of a bird corpse…and then I realized it was just part of a tree that LOOKED like a bird corpse.
I just FALL FOR ANYTHING with you. ~*~
C – is there anything artistic you DON’T do? And do well? The pictures are gorge, bb.
I just reviewed Some Girls Are on my blog. I’d love for you to read it!

Emily … I adore your comment. THAT IS ALL. I should introduce you to Xtina’s version of Birds of Prey. Then you can have two completely different songs with the same title stuck in your head!
Tiffany, aww. I can think of lots of things. Math for starters. Doing stuff outside. ;) Thank you, bb.
Miranda, thank you so much! I’ve added it to the what people are saying section on my website. :)
Incredible texture in the new photos. When I first logged in and saw the bird on the wire, I thought, “Good pic!” Very literary photographs–I like them.
Danette, THANK YOU so much. :)
