Our family has always been obsessed with taking pictures, one or more of us always has a camera handy to take pictures of anything that strikes our fancy! One of our fun summer activities has always been taking jumping pictures! Check out these jumping sites: livejournal, and flickr. I remember taking jumping pictures in my room in university, on the trampoline and our recent favourite in the wheat!

A few weekends ago we decided to do an impromptu photoshoot in the wheat.. so please pardon my baseball attire (Re: Short shorts) as I had just finished practice! Lauren, our married friends Laura & Matt, Scott and myself all took part (we may have had to force the guys). Here are some of my favourite pictures (not all jumping ones), stolen from Lauren’s facebook page.

MORE BEHIND THE CUT

Matt jumped right out of his shoes!

Jumping with our local ski hill in the background, see that bump? Yea that.

Our fave yoga move, as promised months back. The Crow.

Random kicking shot.

And now for some more artsy shots. Have any of you played with Picnik on facebook? Or off of facebook, as Erica likes to remind me (it’s not just a facebook application?! what?! haha). Anyways ask anyone who has access to my facebook page and they will most likely know that I love editing pictures on Picnik. Here are a few of my wheat favourites.

OUR SECRET:

We used a bucket to get our sweet jumping shots, sorry if you thought we were just amazing jumpers. The wheat comes up to our waists! No way would we be able to jump that high without a secret!

Show us your jumping pictures!

    I love them! I am on FB but never heard of Picnik….reminds me of photoshop though and they are awesome.

    I don’t think I have any jumping pictures but I will be using a bucket for any future endeavors.

    Lara- will do!

    Julia- it is sort of like photoshop, only really limited, and really easy to use.

    I thought we weren’t having any family stuff on Thursday? Is that false info?

    Can I make a suggestion? Pretty Please!
    I just die laughing when I read EMKLL’s comments about each others posts. I think it would be hilarious to have them as post additions instead of comments. Or is that too much like work?
    And yes, what is up with Thursday? Remember Sat at A. Tracy- 6pm avec une salade et beer.
