Soccer Tournament

 I went away on a soccer tournament this weekend...we had so much fun, and took second place! Here are a few photos from the trip.

Playing Nertz in the airport

A 4 hour bus ride... :P

There was some lovely scenery!

In the gym, watching the boys' basketball games while waiting for our own soccer games!

The house where I stayed.

Relaxing after one of our games.

There were delicious smoothies for sale...mango, pineapple, banana, watermelon, & coconut!

Resting :D

Our trophy!

We stopped at Wendy's on the bus ride home. I hadn't eaten at Wendy's for years. 

The Frosties were amazing. AMAZING.

Hanging out at the airport, waiting to go home.

On the plane!

The trip was super fun and I have tons of great memories, but it is lovely to be home again!

This Week

Just a few photos from the past week or so. :)

I finished school for the week today, and am on spring vacation now. It is lovely to have some free time. :D (Finally!)

Elements of Composition #3

 The third element of composition is:

Rule of Thirds 

place points of focus at thirds rather than center, center on the x- and y-axis

This photo demonstrates the Rule of Thirds element pretty well.

I placed the point of focus (the shoreline) two-thirds of the way down the photo, instead of smack in the center. It's not always the way to take a photo, but sometimes it gives a great effect!

P.S. I know the quality of the above photo is pretty bad...but I couldn't put a grid on it in my photo editing program so I had to do it in my graphic editing program. That made the photo awfully grainy. Apologies. *sniff*
