Last Weekend

Saturday, May 15

I feel like I'm always posting old news.  Just know that whatever you read here probably happened at least one week prior.  We had a lovely Mother's Day weekend at the coast with friends.  The weather was perfect.  We watched the sunset.

Went swimming.

Played in the sand.

Felt the breeze in our hair.

Played with friends.

And even got a little exercise.

I still haven't posted my beach photos from Mother's Day, but the first two are from last weekend.

Happy Mother's Day!

One day late!   We had a wonderful time at the coast this weekend, but I forgot the cable for my camera, so here it is.

Hope all of the Moms and Grandmas had a good day.  We missed you!

You Capture - more Spring

Thursday, May 6

I can't even remember if I took any photos this week, so these may or may not be the runner ups from last week. 

Sydney got her first pedicure at a sleepover and proclaimed it was "the best foot massage ever!"  Maybe I'll stay for that part next time.  ;)

Here she is abusing the springs of my couch.

Sorry I won't have time to make comments this week.  We are headed to the coast this weekend.  If you have any sun, please send some to Oregon.  Thanks!

Macro Monday - String art

Monday, May 3

It's not midnight yet so I can still call this Macro Monday.  Kyla brought home a cool piece of art from school, but I can't remember if it has an official name.  I happened to remember a frame I had that would leave a space between the glass and the art, so I immediately photographed it and framed it.   Wow that was record time and that is why I'm documenting it here.    Most of the kids' art gets stacked in a pile and may or may not be photographed and logged digitally onto  a Picasa web album so that I can recycle the original without feeling guilty.  Here is the string from a normal angle. 

You Capture - Spring

Wednesday, April 28

Here are some of my favorite things about spring:

my tulips

longer days and my neighbor's tree in bloom.

asparagus, even if it's not from my garden.

and the weather getting warm enough to eat smoothies outside.

Please visit Beth for all the Spring captures.

Recycling imaginary paper

Wednesday, April 28

Last night Sydney was complaining about a scary story she heard and how she couldn't get the images out of her head.  I recommended that she use a pencil to erase the images or shred them up and throw them in the ocean and so on...

She said, "I better use an eraser so I don't waste any paper."
