I feel so blessed to have had my family with me the whole weekend. My little J Bird is growing up so quickly and I relish every little moment with her. Her personality is completely showing in this pic. She is not as easy to photograph anymore. She either wants to be super serious or this is what I get. I'll take it either way as she has always been my muse. Much Love!<br />

<br />
Hi, I'm J Bird and I'm going to teach you how to take care of your rabbits. When you first persuade your parents to buy you a pet rabbit or sign you up for 4H or FFA, you will need to know how to take care of them. Here's what I've learned.<br />
<br />
<u>Housing</u><br />
Your rabbits cage is called a hutch and it's where your rabbits will live and grow. So, you need to learn how to keep your hutch clean to keep the bunnies healthy and free of hutch stains. To clean the hutch, simply take out your rabbits and make sure they are in a clean and safe place while you clean their home. Use water and disinfectant to wash any dirt, pee stains, or poo off the cage using a brush. Make sure it's dry before returning the bunnies to their home.<br />
<br />
We have two large labradors and they were very curious about the rabbits. So, my parents bought a fence at Lowe's to keep them away from the cage. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When it was cold, we place a few towels over their cage to protect from the wind. One day it was warmer than usual, so we placed a frozen water bottle in their cage. Bunnies do not do well in hot temperatures.</div>

<u>Feeding</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used Purina Show Rabbit Chow and used a large 20 ounce cup to fill their feeder once a day or as often as I needed to keep it full. Our goal was to get each bunny to a weight of 3 pounds for the livestock show.</div>

To prepare for the livestock show, I studied with my rabbits using flashcards, books and youtube videos. Thanks to my friend, Reagan, I was able to get an idea of what to expect at the show. So, a shout out to her for helping me.</div>

I had to learn the parts of the rabbit and the picture below shows a rabbit hock. The judge looks at the hocks and front paws to make sure there are no hutch stains and no sore hocks.</div>

We purchased a simple kitchen scale to keep track of each rabbit's weight. Our goal was 3 pounds. Although, our bunnies didn't make that goal, I still qualified to show them.</div>

Finally, the judge announced the results starting with 5th place. I was confused when they said "Champion Rabbit Showman for 2015 is number 8", but then they brought me the buckle and I was so thrilled.<br />

It was a great experience for me. I had to say goodbye to Valentine, Joy and Elvis, though. Sadly, they had to go. I still have Cream Puff who was the biggest of all my rabbits, but still smaller then most of the other show rabbits. <br />
<br />
Thanks for reading. Cream Puff and J Bird signing off.<br />

As a matter of fact, I have never liked being in front of the camera. I prefer to stay behind it. My first senior shoot of 2015 turned out to be more than I expected. There are so many beautiful shots from hanging out with Jessica that I honestly didn't know where to start. I know she is probably anxious for a sneak peek, so here are a few faves of mine. <div>

J Bird received the bunnies she has been so excited about for months. They have grown quite a bit since we saw them 5 days ago. My hope is to have J Bird blog about her experience here on my site. I will take the photos, but I want her to share what she is learning and what her new responsibilities include. Bunnies are cute, but they do need care. She will be showing them in about 3 weeks, so we will be practicing her showmanship skills, as well. We'll keep you posted. With two large, curious dogs running around, we are going to need some serious good luck.<br />

She gives me a very short window to shoot her now-a-days. So, it's point and click as fast as I can.

JBird will be raising rabbits for an upcoming FFA show. I will be learning along with her and her excitement has definitely sparked my desire to post again. I hope to blog the whole experience from the moment we receive the rabbits until show time. I'll want her to contribute, as well. In the meantime, here is a little refreshing eye candy from Chasing J Bird Photography.<br />

Not only were we so proud of him, but we were eager to see his transformation from civilian to sailor. Needless to say, the anticipation at the ceremony right before the doors of the hangar/auditorium were opened to let in all the graduating recruits was a ridiculous thing. I was really good about holding back the tears...until...they opened those huge garage type doors. Seeing those sailors standing there, perfectly lined up in their sailor blues, well... I simply lost it. The families in attendance went nuts at that moment. Can you believe that I don't have one good photo of this? I was too busy blubbering and making my sister blubber, as well. I tried to shoot off a few shots as they marched in, but they were all a huge fail. They all ended up blurry from trying to balance on my tiptoes (yes, I'm short) and from trying to hold in my embarrassing crying fit, but I finally got it together. <br />

Division 136. All these boys looked alike to me. Fortunately, because of his height, we were able to find him in the very back of his division sticking out above many of the others. Don't they look neat? There they are between all of those heads. Did I mention I am short?</div>

If you join...don't forget to click on the freebies tab and get some neat goodies.<br />
The freebies are only available until the site goes public. So, if you are interested, you would need to sign up soon. =-)<br />

I'm still so very neglectful when it comes to this blog. If only I could run Chasing J Bird full time....it would be so much fun and I might actually get some real blog posts in. Anyway, I recently edited this photo even though I took it about six weeks ago. Isn't that awful? It was just hanging around my hard drive begging to be opened. Well I did and believe it or not I did very little editing to this one. I just pumped up some color and viola! Doesn't she look like a dream? I had donated a photography package to J Bird's school for their annual auction and I was delighted to see how well it did. I'm looking forward to meeting the lucky winner. I printed this in a 16x24 for display and I fell in love with it. I still can't get over seeing my own work in print. It gives me little chills every time I open them the first time. I hope that part never goes away. </div>

What is more simple than a field of golden light and a little girl? We were so lucky to get a sliver of sunlight through the clouds. It had been cloudy all day long and I just wanted to begin a shoot of my little one before Valentine season came and left us like the Christmas season did. I decided this would be perfect for this week's Simplicity theme. Don't you agree?</div>

I have joined my sweet friend, Sarah, from <a href="http://www.my4hensphotography.com/" target="_blank">My Four Hens Photography</a>, in a 52 week photo project. My first 52 week project helped me grow and learn so much, that I thought it was a must for me this year. Plus, I need more pics of my baby (or babies, if you include Lola.) What better way to see the changes throughout the year. Last year she grew almost 3 inches! Can you believe it? Each week Sarah shares a theme with us and we interpret it however we like. It's amazing to see everyone's shots. I shared my first photo, Resolution, a few posts back. It was a beautiful butterfly I was lucky enough not to scare away. These are my posts for the last 3 weeks. You can click on them to read the background of each (not that it's too complicated or anything.) I'm a simple gal and you can definitely see it already in these first 4 posts. I hope you'll join me along my journey.</div>

My hope for the new year is to not be afraid to spread my new wings and fly with my little Chasing J Bird Photography biz. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiMuftIMW01BHTAQWJoB_Awuq3EOv2cbqu90KrgQcieSaWMwy1jH0-m1hXQxkXr0jQuJ0WHHbVZzLwunvPX26DVg0mIE1SLX20vVh2m7-3gfOpcyFkw8C71wjy-mBRor2H3RkzWksMsBmt/s640/Week1+Resolution.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<br />
I also want to capture more of my J Bird. She has grown so quickly and is not as eager to be a willing model, so I really need to let go of my perfectionism and settle for any snapshots I can get of her along the way. Can you believe she has grown 3 inches in exactly a year's time? Wow, I know. Anyway, I hope the new year brings you many new opportunities to grow and spread your wings, as well. Oh and don't forget to click away whenever you can and capture those moments.<br />

Family PreviewSo it's been a long time a-coming but here is a little sneak peek at one of my last shoots of the year. I am so thankful to each family that I have had the opportunity to shoot so far. I had a late start up for Chasing J Bird Photography this year, but it has been such a rewarding experience. I hope 2012 is full of exciting, creative adventures for us. I can't wait. So here you go, another sneak peek.<br />

Family | Sneak PeekI loved everything about working with these sweeties. First, they are friends that trusted me with their photos, so that means so much to me. Second, how can you not love them? They are all gorgeous and I loved the colors they wore for the shoot. It was a gorgeous day and it made those colors just pop. I loved it. And finally, I loved watching the little ones just being kids. I brought my J Bird along and found out she's a valuable tool when children are around. I'll need to keep that a secret before she requests some sort of payment. <br />
<br />
Here is a sneak peek of that colorful, happy, gorgeous shoot. I hope we can do it again!<br />

Little B. was so stinkin' cute in his cowboy chaps, spurs and hat. Can you believe that at two he is already a champion roper? The funny thing is that he refused to rope for us that day. Oh well, it's a great excuse to come back someday and shoot some more photos. I just loved the area and the C. family was so sweet. I hope they enjoy the few sneak peeks at their photo shoot.<br />

I hope ya'll visit it at <a href="http://www.chasingjbirdphotography.com/">www.chasingjbirdphotography.com</a> and also visit us on our <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Chasing-J-Bird-Photography/291373307545878">Facebook</a> page. Although I will have very few sessions available for these last few months of the year, I am excited to get started. Check out the website for information on session discounts and other promotions that are available only for a limited time. <br />
<br />
On a different note, we adopted our newest family member in August. Her name is Lola and she's a Lab mix. She's kept us busy these last few months, but we're happy to have her with us. Her are a few pics of her. You can tell that she gets away with a lot with this face. <br />

I was so lucky she was up for anything. I feel terrible that she ended up with mud on her gown, but she was a real trooper. I couldn't have asked for a better model. There are so many more to choose from, but I couldn't help but want to play with these first.<br />

Plus, she was up for anything. What photographer doesn't love to hear that? I couldn't have asked for a better model. She had the most gorgeous, natural smile and she was super sweet. Except for the fact that she forgot one tiny thing...her ring...she was perfect. Luckily, she had her sister with her and we weren't too far from home. We had a ring in no time. I am just beginning to work on her photos, but I knew this was going to be one of my favorites right from the start. I hope she likes it as much as I do.<br />

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! We spent almost all day Sunday creating these adorable little Valentine characters for J Bird's classmates. I want to give a HUGE thank you to Meg for sharing this <a href="http://madelinebea.com/blog/2011/02/super-easy-moustache-valentine-knock-offs/">fabulous idea</a> with us on her blog post. I know I ripped it off, but how could I disappoint my 5 year old? At least that's what I keep telling myself. It was quite a task, but a whole bunch fun to make these little guys. I do have to admit that my hubby was responsible for most of the cool, boy valentines, but I was the master of the hot glue gun. So, I(and my burned fingers) will insist on some of the credit.<br />
<br />
Take a look at these!<br />

The little one had the flu, I always have one other big thing around the corner at work and now the holidays are upon us. So life is busy and, besides the flu bug, everything is good. I did mention in my last post that I had some things in store for any locals interested in portraits. I was hoping to offer some mini-sessions, but it looks like I will shoot for Spring instead. If you are interested and want to get in touch, please feel free to shoot me an email. <br />
<br />
Meanwhile, I hope you take a minute and enjoy the holidays. It really is one of my favorite times of the year.<br />
<br />

I believe it's our 4th year in a row. The weather is always wonderful, except for the one red tide year. I get a scratchy throat just thinking about it. *cough, cough* To be honest, J Bird is more interested in playing in the sand than checking out the amazing sand sculptures that have been entered into the annual competition. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7riuOWd0ysHtQa4MQn1XUyf2PHeUokixTz2G0nKhwInjNHwB5rUv4fdPgrfzZ1ATsntz5R9rTjWUIGREaeUxCyuK9pDWUyn9L2JLMugho9aNOB2c4dVIge-opCesjvCuSd8pX4tPbdu6y/s640/CastleCollage.jpg" width="428" /></div><br />
So, after quickly checking out the sculptures we headed out to our favorite beach spot. Work began on her own little sand sculpture, shell collecting, and playing in the surprisingly warm water. It was such a nice day. I want to go head back already.<br />

I had to give it a real go.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1nPUgdhZirmYwIWuOz4ASsBLHLHUd09tJ2Kxd9AmyGUFIuZDbFJ1bv5JOnwkJh1vNyrCZ1-ewYyP5ApPU8Wz1k3ubWUPQaQAUCJ36UdOjcfzL0NFbd887mgyQG_Sux3BDsOA8VQ_JIrwD/s640/34_PumpkinSitter.jpg" width="640" /></div><br />
Truth be told, I take so many photos already and I've pushed myself further than expected before this project that I think the guilt factor won't be too much of a concern for me. Ok, well maybe a little guilt, but it will pass soon enough. I admire everyone who jumps in with both feet and actually make it to the end. I've seen what this project can do. I will continue to try to discover something new every. single. day. That will not change. However, I want to concentrate my energy on other projects. Hopefully, I'll be making an announcement here for any locals that happen to follow my blog and are interested in my type of photography for your family. *Tap, tap, tapping microphone* Hello, anyone? Anyone at all out there? Oh well, silence has never stopped me before. I'm excited about the possibilities. Keep checking this site for more info.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, I will make my husband crazy by throwing ideas at him and begging him to assist me on my little shoots. They really do go so much better when he's around to help. Last week I managed to get out by myself with J Bird and we happened to catch the most wonderful golden light. Why was this such a big deal? It was after a long day at work and school. We had to go home to change J Bird out of her school uniform, grab camera gear, and drive to our location. We caught the sun in the last few minutes before sunset. Thankfully, she was up for the adventure. Look at this light.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhphMiw8UT-aPban4qSeVwCl1x5MHRb53aFuobUJIe4-i58XzSgYV-5u7Y448IQfdY0r5vHtcSU45jlPOH7NWM-5eCLkd6epk44QfT1UVk9nuMHVsZnJS3_YeQn5ew2mh2_pPHvAj5l7v-i/s640/GracyluSunset.jpg" width="640" /></div><br />
I had been dying to photograph J Bird with our new Gracylu Original headpiece made by the fabulous Tristian. Her headpieces had inspired me to make one of my own during the wait for this piece to arrive. Remember <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rfluegel/5097154096/">this one</a>? Who knew I could be somewhat creative? Tristian creates such unique and funky pieces including bridal pieces and adorable little hats. You should definitely check <a href="http://bowsandmorebygracylu.blogspot.com/">her</a> site out if you get a minute or if you're just plain curious. They're definitely not meant for playtime, but they look great in photos.<br />

It was fun to get off of our regular schedule for this shoot and come away with such fab shots. We only had a few minutes of real shoot time, but we enjoyed this location (with the exception of the crazy wind.) We found some awesome pecan trees and she picked a few pecans that had already fallen. As a matter fact, we ran into an older couple that were picking pecans, as well. I think they were a bit amused with us. I didn't realize we were being watched until J Bird mentioned it. Awkward moment! Oh, to think of all the funky positions I was in to get my shots. Never mind....let's move on.<br />

</div>A quick shoot, but definitely worth the wind and the awkward moments. I can't help but share these with you. They make my soul sing. This one has to be one of my all time faves with the leaves on the grass and her classic smile. It's just so her. <br />

Have a great week everyone and get out to find some golden light before the clocks move forward this weekend!Rosie Fluegelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13551519386626936277noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1513393512050457118.post-47791634174831772192010-10-25T13:17:00.000-07:002010-10-25T13:17:22.265-07:00Breast Cancer Awareness - Pink Photo ChallengeI'm so proud of my hubby for taping up all his football players in pink athletic tape this month for breast cancer awareness month. I wish I could have photographed it, but I'm working when he does it and then I have to rush off to pick up the little one to get ready for the game. Maybe I'll try it this week if he lets me. *hint, hint* <br />
<br />
It has been 5 years since we lost Grandma Jan to cancer and I believe she waited just long enough to see and hold this little one in her arms before she left us. So, the color pink is really special in our family. This is my entry for the iheartfaces Pink Photo Challenge...J Bird and her favorite color, pink.<br />

Sometimes I don't know what's going on with my pictures. There are times when I think I forget everything I've learned in the last year and a half about my camera. It just goes to show that I really do need to practice, especially in those conditions that frighten me the most....straight into the sun, bad lighting, etc. So, that's exactly what I've been doing.<br />
<br />
Here we go:<br />
<br />
Day 20:<br />
She loves this pink car given to her by her grandma & grandpa. I love how she just does her own thing. She dresses up like a cowgirl and gets into her pink car. All is good with the world.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5VY7Xh11eTgHQFl1paz2mGhz5PBgnkJCvnlLoYYFMSpvLwvzfStFurKs1ztymj4Lkrwt8RmUJ6GyC1ZI7dLBGmH28rMlrQuBFaHbXzKUzoFugUDEU76zHG5KCFoQwE3MiPVOZm0ugtAC1/s640/20_CowgirlDriver.jpg" width="640" /></div><br />
Day 21:<br />
I got a crafting bug into me and it was a little crazy there for a bit. This was a quick little try at making a headband with some leftover bandanna from her birthday party. Hey, we recycle and reuse! What a sweet kid for letting me try it on her. I think the chocolate pudding was the secret, though, as you can tell from her chocolate mustache.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSkavkRQBBdW3BocmyP0bjk0vVl-QJ9OGseoxkSzOrOUThece5Sk2xRJzvhdmn3cmhyphenhyphenElbfkIHNPT4bLWthlv_QRwOJSMqg4mtdYYhnGOY6Zo3P1VmdR82p8TUZQa3toX_oUws9bFRcGDb/s640/21_PuddingMustache.jpg" width="426" /></div><br />
Day 22:<br />
Ok, so I missed a few days in here, but I was feeling a little rotten for a few days there. Thankfully, a few nights with my go-to remedy (Theraflu) and some TV surfing and all was good again.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBh1sOj1_dMVohU2Eu7fDfIGKHvfKZFCitCFuXmxk7a81kHLy5acMxMlLHz4te3H0XDRgAyoX6KltEVtKmZ_aoQAWg1CLKBHvxqfaOnSirhwwPHLMpcRQdCiu7dOA_kBJgW0CrOvoYaf_-/s640/22_SickAndSurfing.jpg" width="640" /></div><br />
Day 23: <br />
The recent beautiful weather inspired me to get moving and do something a little more "photo shoot" like. So, I convinced my sweet J Bird to go on a mini shoot. We ended up playing more than anything else, but I did get some favorites and this is definitely one of them. It's so her. We will be going back for more.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0i28-9smwAKPxr-CI1tIpHIbm3Z5ePaUd0HueKIiakDGsiqq5TYmv990_b3Drig4hC2to8lprrPUUwGAISlSjlBjK-U0R5Sm6xGOQYJ8xG35GgxMWhG8Lm_3qp0hOCl7itD2KPoAYKjsW/s640/23_ConventionCenterPose.jpg" width="640" /></div><br />
Day 24:<br />
I have to admit every time I look at this I get a bit teary eyed. In honor of my sweet mother-in-law, her struggle with cancer, and breast cancer awareness month I shot this very simple photo. It is a collection of mini crosses that belonged to her and they hang from our hutch in the dining room. It's this one cross that says it all when thinking of her.<br />

Day 25:<br />
Taken at a recent festival in town.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFJa51v4kgGsAyvSucoHkHklwKRK4nA8frFDO7eRZYTR56iIvYNK_PwZq-QED_5s93E7ehLc9PQwQOCYYLwjg0ADn8sVa-o7xGqAgn8oELupPXo0zOR_c18MSxFCrI6vyzwcO57wKkqTnY/s640/25_SaddleFence.jpg" width="426" /></div><br />
Day 26:<br />
This was a quick snapshot taken as the sun was going down. As you can tell, she was playing hard to get.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUkrehFYyhc1CMKsYlK2GpUOaxIZzKbhHzsVNbnA1hsaNErXaskKPvzAqhAeCLH5gdsxt8WuzugDBFIH4-Z1EsZ81jnZr7PWe1g7iwZCpDyz2lmUKSTUY9IHA2DxoM53NPeV3MTIqSo7y1/s640/26_MissHer.jpg" width="640" /></div><br />
<br />
Day 27:<br />
A continuation of my crafting frenzy. I made this funky headband for photos. It wasn't intended for anything else. Besides, J Bird says it's too heavy. LOL. She wore it well, though.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY8hmkuW9BRK9m4sbnNfxYxKwuzeoGR3XWiE_yZuPgolJc9IAhpZUh7jSANWSkD244UC0q5hLrwS0UKy53rJqvCXWyh0aWRfJRHr7z52RpZ81gIeXDKZ2lodFuQi1p6tBnvRs-af6PXAfm/s640/27_JessicaDrossinContestEntry.jpg" width="640" /></div><br />
Day 28:<br />
It was such a beautiful evening and I couldn't resist the sun and these pretty little pink flowers in our front yard. Of course, J Bird had to make her way into the photo. She's the pink out of focus blob in the background playing tee ball.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJbDbic12tKqSuXLm-BH-9VDrGfGy81mpi0OHSXTL62nfwulyhR0XSm58uOZaQNmiORWX6-1Rr6qof3ikwPhq1fMFk1jHAqAaLarE4ZtDlgZ8fW7Ag6Uc5H8wdJ2Siic_hdtngQXV78DZ7/s640/28_SunsetBaseballFlowers.jpg" width="640" /></div><br />
Day 29:<br />
At soccer practice trying to get my shot in for the day.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaKmz5_6OAE_SdxijeviRxeB3Yt1X6Kk1ZWYuGqZ842c2_Wwmh9EWyT2klwIj5YHzvbG9AtT81u2bYW_buuWq4OirFQbDdbdXv61bZTRfi69UUXNZjYQm3ToIvoIWbYBcX3OYk_7LsehfH/s640/29_InYourFace.jpg" width="640" /></div><br />
Day 30:<br />
On the streets of New Orleans where I met my sister for an extremely rare getaway.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLzh91Gdi8E7j-ZluB6mAF6vp02COH0W0x6YmhFQZ0Egi9WMnAbWKxf912a6R6lgBklsVhphTzM7Fve_K4FNecOBBpYeE5a1f4H-CfU5YgPumH2aRp5HJTAScQUmfCgfFKvej_HUYxWZQb/s1600/30_StreetsofNOLA.jpg" /></div><br />
Day 31:<br />
Another shot in the French Quarter as we strolled the area. The architecture is amazing. I didn't even mention the food we had while there. Oh my goodness, DELISH! Yeah, I didn't get photos of that. We were usually starving by the time we found a place to eat, so my camera was the last thing on our minds. <br />
