Images

 I love nature.  It fascinates me.  Flowers are probably my most favorite thing in nature, and I love to take pictures of them.  This picture is one that I took in Madison, GA.
 I secretly have always wanted to live in the country with big open fields.  I just think of it being so free.  I took this picture on the way back to my hometown, Valdosta, GA.  I love the open road and the countryside.
 This is a sunset in Valdosta.  I remember driving down the road looking at it, and I just had to take a picture of it.  The colors were so wonderful.  I love the sky; it makes me feel so blessed.
 This is a picture I took in my pool back at home.  My mom had bought bubbles for my younger cousin, so my boyfriend and I decided to blow them.  I snapped this picture as he was blowing the bubbles.
I took this picture one morning before class.  As I walked out of my front door, there were hundreds of birds flying over my head, and for some reason it just encouraged me.
I do not drink regular coke, but I like it when it comes from the glass bottle.  I don't know why that is; maybe the taste is just different.  I'm not sure, but I love coke out of a glass bottle.
I took this picture this summer, right before my dog, Sarah, passed away.  We were in the mountains on vacation.  Even though that was a terrible time for us, she just looks so peaceful in this picture, and it is what I see when I think of her.
Jones sodas are so strong and sweet.  They are probably my second favorite sodas next to Mountain Dew.  The pictures that they use for the label are pictures that people have sent in to Jones, and I just really like the bottle, and the soda.
I took this picture one morning before class.  I walked outside and looked up, and there were so many clouds.  It almost seemed surreal.
I took this picture at Ponce Inlet, just a few miles from Daytona Beach this summer.  One morning we rode bikes to where we would eat breakfast every morning.  It was about a two mile ride.
I took this one night after I had eaten dinner on East Campus.  Clouds are very interesting to me, and they were such a deep color that I had to take a picture of them.
This is the neighborhood that I live in, and it always has the prettiest sunsets.  If I am ever there at sunset I always look outside because they are always so gorgeous.
I took this this summer in my hometown.  I love this picture because I was able to capture the sky containing a storm and a clear sky.  God is awesome.
This picture was also taken at Ponce Inlet.  The rainbow was so perfectly placed right over the ocean that I almost couldn't believe it was really there.
I took this picture in Cleveland, Tennessee.  This summer, we went white water rafting there, and the fields there were absolutely beautiful.  They looked like paintings.

Mobile Apps

5 Creative Mobile Apps

Adobe Photoshop Touch is one of the apps I found very creative.  This app lets you apply professional effects, combine images, and share these with your friends and family through social networking sites.  This app is available for both iPads, iPhones, and Androids.  With this app, you can also sync your files to Adobe Creative Cloud and open them in Photoshop.

Another app that I found that was very interesting and creative was Mark On Call.  This app is very similar to the Floor Planner site we used in class at the beginning of the semester.  This app allows you to use your interior and architecture skills or plan the arrangement of things in a room.  This app would be a wonderful way for teachers or speech therapists to design their classroom or office right on their mobile phone. 

Sketcher 3D is an app that is used to create three-dimensional shapes.  This is a great app for people to create objects or design buildings and spaces.  Anyone could use this app for whatever they are thinking about building.  You could use this app to build a house, car, anything!  You can move, rotate, and scale your objects that you create on your device.

I've always wanted to create my own beat or music.  I have a Mac laptop, but GarageBand confuses me.  This app called Caustic 2 is an app that allows anyone to create digital music with their smartphone or tablet.  It contains synthesizers, samplers, and a sequencer.  People that have reviewed this app have given it an average rate of 4.8 out of 5.  This app is very user friendly and a great way to explore digital music.

I do not have the creativity for drawing, but I imagine if I did, I would often times get inspirations in random places.  Artists can not carry around a large sketchpad and pencils with them all the time, so there is an app that allows you to sketch right on your smartphone or tablet.  This app is called Sketji.  It is a sketching app that allows you to draw strokes on the "canvas" and the app makes it look like the sketch had been drawn with a real brush.
