Project 52/2012 – week 5

Thoughts travel: I opened my bedroom blinds this morning to see a clear blue sky, the promise of a gorgeously sunny day, and 2 jet-streams heading off over Mt.Cheam. The first thought that popped into my mind were the lyrics “I’m leaving on a jet plane.”   …And then I thought of Liam.  My dear, tender-hearted...

Project 52/2012 – week 4

Jade’s birthday party was this afternoon…with the snow swirling once again outside.  A group of drowned rats, and one boy on the diving board who refused to go on the group picture.  :) Not exactly award-winning images, I confess.  Next week better. ;) Cheers

Project 52/2012 – week 3

My baby girl turned 9 this week – and I have no idea how that happened.  It seems like overnight she’s been transformed from a little girl to a little lady.  Her birthday on Wednesday was kind of quiet, peaceful and cold to say the least!  School’s been out all week, the roads have been...

Project 52/2012 – week 2

You though I wasn’t going to make it this week didn’t you?  Fall off this project’s bandwagon already in the second week! :)  What a gorgeous, peaceful, snowy Saturday morning!  Just had to go out there in my pj’s to shoot a few pictures before the kids or the rain destroyed that perfect 7″ thick blanket.  | ...

Four-legged Dreams

The dream lives on: it reveals itself in endless equestrian tales, and tears of passionate longing.  What is it about these furry creatures that captures the hearts of most little girls at some point or another?  Seeing the twinkle in her eye and the little smile on her face as she fed the neighbor’s horses apples and...

Project 52/2012 – week 1

I’ve decided to do a weekly photography project.  Every year I debate starting a photo-a-day project…but I know that I won’t be able to stick with that for a whole year, however, I love the dedication that a project like this requires.  It forces me to pick up my camera and photograph things otherwise overlooked, and watch out for...

Anticipation and Appreciation

The kids were so excited to open their Christmas gifts from us tonight.  They’d been hovering over that pile of presents for hours with giddy anticipation…trying to guess what might be inside; shaking the odd box from time to time, even though I’d told them not to (kind of hard to disguise the sound of Lego)! ...

Perfection Improved

Untitled-1

I came home from this morning’s photoshoot to find this laying on the living room side table: I thought shells couldn’t get any prettier than their natural colors…but apparently I was wrong.  Jade and Liam managed to improve perfection.  I am a huge new fan of rainbow colored sea shells…and delighted with their creativity! :) Bold and Bright...

It beckons.

It begs.  “Build forts, throw snowballs, make snow angels and snowmen…play in me!”  And so, of course, the kids after school just had to heed the call…even if it only did last 20 minutes untill they were soaked (since sadly it’s already melting).  Just enough time to muss up the pristine landscape, and just enough...
