Impossible Things...

Ever since I was little, I have had an extremely active imagination.  I love imagining what my dream house looks like, and dreaming up an extravagant castle.  A couple days ago, I was surfing the web and found these incredible photos.  Some look more real then others, but they are all awesome.  (they are all Photoshopped if ya'll can't tell) ;) Hope you enjoy!
I do not own any of the following photos.  All credit goes to the artists. all images via

This one is sooo cool I LOVE IT!

Why does this not look like a safe structure to me?.hmmmm

How awesome would it be to live here?!  The ants would be of a terrifying size though.

So beautiful!  Think of how loud the water must sound from the inside though.

Who knows we might be living like this someday.....jk ;)

I don't know why, but this one is like my favorite =D

How awesome would it be if this was your tree house as a kid.

=P

They must save thousands on air conditioning. . .

I would love to live here, however I don't see a boat so transportation must be difficult.

My Parents Come Home TODAY!!!

So, my parents are finally back on U.S. ground!  They get home tonight at 6, and we are all really excited!  Unfortunately, I cannot post pictures of the kids we are adopting because of privacy reasons, but if you want to see a picture of them, email me at raininthecountry@gmail.com and I will send ya'll pictures of the kids as soon as I can.
Also, my photo challenge ended yesterday, and I know that there were some people who wanted to enter and didn't.  So, I am extending the challenge for all of you who didn't have rain yet, or who didn't get a chance to enter. If you want me to keep it extended for you, please tell me in the comments, so that I know I am not just waiting for nothing.
Last week I went to one of my very bestest (yes, I know bestest isn't a real word) friends house to stay with them awhile while  my parents were gone.  My friend, Leanne, is a photography too, so while we were at her grandparents house we took some pictures.  Here are some of mine:

I took this picture through a hole in a leaf.

This is a picture of a wooden swing.

Hope you enjoyed this post, and don't forget to comment if you want the photo challenge extended, and comment and email me if you want to see pics of my new brothers and sister.

Exciting News!!!

OK, so some of you guys know, my parents are in Ukraine right now adopting 2 boys named Koyla, and Sasha.  Right now, the boys are spending the summer at an orphan camp, (which is pretty much a fenced in area that blasts music and provides 3 meals a day) Well, everything is going well with the adoption and my mom and dad have had fun playing with the kids at the orphan camp.  And there is a girl, who is 14, and she wants a family soooo bad.  She has been in the orphanage for the majority of her life.   ....So, Guess what!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!  We are adopting her!!!!!!   My parents asked her if she wanted to be adopted today (which obviously she does) And she said YES!!!! I am sooooo super excited!!!!!!

Here is my enter for Hazel Anne's Photo challenge.  The theme is Golden Hour.

Oh and if you haven't already, PLEASE go enter my photo challenge!!!!!

OK, so most of you know that I am like obsessed with rain.  And it was RAINING today!!! YAY.  So, I ran out with my camera and got some cute pics.

Love this one, and I didn't even edit it!

You can just barely see the umbrella in the background

Now, to announce the category of my second photo challenge... *drum roll...* Raindrops!  So you can do a Macro of a raindrop, or falling raindrops or a reflection of something on a raindrop, or pretty much anything with raindrops. And if you don't have a macro setting on your camera you can do just a picture of rain. Try to be creative!  Once you've taken the picture (or it could be a picture you've already taken) post it on your blog (or you can use your Flickr account) and enter below by clicking the "add your link" button.  Or if you don't have a blog (or Flickr) you can send me the picture at raininthecountry@gmail.com.  OK, are you ready for some exciting news?  The winner of this photo challenge gets a prize!  A pack of beautiful cards made by me (they are good quality, and are very pretty, they don't look like something you made when you were in kindergarten I promise =) )  Now, if you win and are uncomfortable with emailing me your address, that's fine.  You will still win the challenge of course but the prize will just go to the person in second place.
