Notice the backgrounds are blurry? That's the aperture is set at a smaller number!
The shutter speed is set higher
To get the flow...it's gotta be low...that's the only way I can remember it!

Luke and I went this afternoon to the Historic Arkansas Museum. They had a literacy fair going on for kids and we wanted to check it out. We couldn't go without lunch, so we took a picnic and ate it in War Memorial Park. We even had some time for photography lessons....I am learning the lingo and he's helping me better understand it! I do better learning it first, then asking him...sometimes Luke is way too knowledgeable!
After the park, we headed to the museum. They had a guest speaker there, Tim Farley, whose Dad wrote the Black Stallion books. I am a huge fan of those books. I read all of them as a child, watched all the movies, and there was even a TV show I loved too. They had horses there...none of them black though....and the children could read to the horses. It's part of his Black Stallion Literacy Project....they can even do that in schools which would be awesome for children....my teacher side coming out I guess.
At one, we went to hear Lurlene McDaniel speak. I have read all of her books in JR High and High School. Most of my friends gave me a hard time about reading them because everyone usually dies in her books. Joe called them my "stiffness books" and Chrusty read a few, but didn't enjoy them like I did....she calls them, "my dead and dying books!" There were only 2 other people in the lecture besides me and Luke. I was really disappointed but it was wonderful to visit with her. Today was her birthday too! She writes books about children who face hard times and diseases. She said her motto is, "You can't change what happens to you, but you can change how you deal with it." I am an organ-donor today because of her books! I even got one autographed and a picture with her....eat your heart out Christylee! LOL!!!

I am so happy ya'll got to go and have a great time. Lurlene doesn't look at all like what I thought she'd look like. I guess I had it in my mind that she would be all dressed in black since at least ONE character dies in every single book she writes! LOL LOL And by the way, I STILL think the HISTORIC ARKANSAS MUSEUM...AKA THE HAM IS THE STUPIDEST NAME. Guess they figured the HAM would go along with those stupid RAZORBACKS!!!!! I am sooooooo not a Razorback fan!!!!!! To me, it is and will ALWYAS be the Territorial Restoration! LOL
Love, your momma
