Street Shoes

What? Time to kill downtown with my camera? Don't mind if I do.

Moments shared

I took advantage of movie time with E by setting up my tripod and remote.

"Return to Neverland," plenty of pillows, popcorn, and my sweet boy. :)






I will say this self portrait project is making me think outside the box a bit more when it comes to finding camera time.

I didn't have any concept or preconceived, creative idea's surrounding this.
Just grabbing the opportunity to have some everyday life shots of my boy and me. And since this month's theme is "write on" I added the text.

Again, not so sure I like the words but I'm still thinking about a way to incorporate words in my selfies that work for me.

Juror # 6

I got the golden ticket! I went in for my civic duty this morning for Jury Duty. I am one of those rare people that would volunteer for it if I could. The whole judicial system is fascinating and even if I spend the whole day with nothing to do it's a great opportunity to get through a book. Spent much of the day wishing I had my Nikon slung around my neck that's sort of frowned upon so I tried to discretely snap some shots with my Driod. The building is just old enough to be kind of cool and I was attracted to all the symmetry.

Just a few shots from my day.

Birdy party

It was a bird party in the front yard.

I padded out in my PJ's with my zoom and did a little birdy paparazzi.















E is feeling better, thank you all for your well wishes. :)

"Mommy I'm going to kill this sick"

Our Sunday didn't go as planned. The flu hit E pretty hard this morning and we spent much of the day working to keep his fever down. Fevers freak me out.
I practically fight tears when my baby's temp reaches 104.

He's asleep now.










It might be a long night of battling the dreaded 105.

Part of being a mommy.

My words are cheesy

It helps sometimes to just take a moment. Find a quiet place and drink in the details. And in my case try incessantly to get a decent self portrait.

For February at {in the picture} the theme is "write on.!" I've never been real good at this. I see other photographs including words that work, really well. But when I try it always comes off kinda cheesy. The below attempt is no exception. Maybe by the end of the month I'll get one I'm proud of.






Happy weekend, hope you get some quiet time of your own to relax!

Remember Summer?

When I was fishing through the countless folders of images looking for the ones I wanted for E's star student poster I found that:

a) I seriously need to clean out my folders and get rid of what's backed up and
b) I had a really great summer last year.





Don't you love scrolling through the memories? Thank God for photographs.
