#autumn is appearing in my neighborhood! My fav time of year! Taken in the pudding cam app on my new #galaxySIII #lifewithoutlimits #ilovetrees #rise @tmobile #iloveskies #manassas #Virginia when I compare the image on my iphone colors seem far more saturated on the galaxy

I am so grateful to @tmobile for giving me a chance to play and create on the new #galaxySIII - a bit of a learning curve so far, but not as bad as expected! The screen is impressive!! This is my first attempt shooting & processing on it- used the free apps pudding cam & pixlr-o-matic + IG! #lifewithoutlimits #manassas #Virginia #chrystis_garden

Decided to experiment with apps before sleeping - fell asleep while creating this, will finish it tomorrow! #clinton #newjersey #mill #ilovetrees

Editing indecision. Door was in #nyc #newyorkcity last month. #door #storyboard #chrystiinthecity

In the darkness there shone a light. #ilovetrees #iloveskies #manassas #virginia

Storms were a brewing on our way to Pittsburgh last night. I got sick on the ride so we stopped overnight in breezewood and are heading to my folks house now! My (not so) baby brother is getting married tomorrow! #roadtrippin #storm #iloveskies #cloudporn (Taken with Instagram)
