You Capture: Autumn

I enjoyed the assignment this week. I’ve always loved the colors on the trees at this time of year. And when Beth suggested we take a drive and capture something new, I took advantage. It was a beautifully sunny day here last Saturday, just begging for me to head out for a […]

You Capture: Happiness

Normally, I’m a pretty happy person. I’m an optimist, I try to see the good in everyone, and I smile a lot. This week has been a tough week for me. -I worked most of the day on Saturday, missing Noah’s soccer game, during which he scored a couple of goals. -Monday […]

You Capture: Macro

I wasn’t the biggest fan of this week’s challenge. Beth is apparently feeling we are ready to get tough! I dream of having a macro lens and capturing amazing shots of inner workings of all things. I would love to be able to get shots of drops of water like this (another […]

You Capture: Never before

I was really tempted to skip this week (again!) because Beth gave us a really difficult challenge! We were to take a picture of something we’ve never done before. It sounds simple, but it means stepping outside of our comfort zone of picture taking. I mostly take pictures of my boys, or […]

Unfortunately, this August 29 brought us 64 degrees for a high, and an overcast sky with […]

Sunset at the park

After dinner today, we rode bikes to the park. The sun was setting, and it was a lovely evening.

A lovely night for a walk

Andy and I convinced the boys to head out for a walk around the neighborhood tonight, and we really walked. I couldn’t believe the boys made it the whole way! The weather was perfect, and the sky was full of airplanes and jet trails, while also showcasing a warm sunset.

You Capture: Peace

I actually thought ahead a bit on this week’s challenge. We were at the zoo on Saturday for Andy’s birthday, and as we were walking around, I noticed some things that made me feel peaceful (despite my crazy boys running around and the commotion over by the prairie dog lair that was […]

Blue skies

“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: […]
