You Capture - Green

Thursday, September 29


We are going green by making reusable sandwich bags.  I found some cute fabric.


  
My 7 yo says she is going green by using rocks and string to make dolls.  FYI, rock are too heavy to stay on a stick when adhered using a glue gun.  We are now on a search for lighter heads.  

I found a lot of green leaves on a sunny walk today.

Macro Monday - The Wasp Nest

September 26, 2011

Last week I found part of a wasp nest just lying in the backyard. (To write that sentence I just had to Google "laying vs. lying").  Blogging would be quicker if I only posted photos without explanations.  So, I went to take a picture and discovered  there was a wasp tending it.  I don't know where it came from and the next day I was checking up on it only to find that it had disappeared?   What a mystery!  Glad I remembered to snap a shot before it was gone.

You Capture - Industrial

Thursday, September 22


Yesterday there was an awesome sunrise! 

Normally, I sleep through them but I was up early and I was wishing I had something cool to put in front of such an amazing backdrop.  I hopped in the car, but no luck, it quickly disappeared .   Here's the view of Portland's industrial waterways just a few minutes later.
