days 8-11...

 day 8, sunset...

Yes I have posted a similar shot but honestly it is the easiest sunset view from my house.

day 9, animal...

 Max, king of all the wild things.

day 10, fresh fruit..

 

 Blueberries, raspberries and kiwi for a shake.... kiwi was not the best idea... seeds!


day 11, silhouette...

 same sunset shot with the homes in silhouette.

days 16-25...

this is going to be a long post...



day 16...experimenting with light trails.

Taken from the balcony of our hotel in Ocean City. Traffic wasn't very heavy.



day 17...street lights.

I grabbed this one before we left on vacation.




days 18... depicting emotion

Kate and Matt... he is still looking a little surprised and bewildered. When I showed them this shot Matt said ... "Did I do that?" in a great deadpanned Erkle voice.


day 19...involves landscape.

I love the little stretch of prairie between Mom's section of our neighborhood and ours.




day 20...what ever you please.

One happy little guy. He is getting so big.


day 21...sunset.

These are always easy shots here in our new neighborhood. Almost every evening Patrick and I watch a beautiful sunset while we walk the trails.


day 22...a person you love.

Patrick.


day 23... makes you think of childhood.

Sisters sharing secrets.



day 24... has a color scheme

I again forgot to replace the memory card in the camera when we went to Assateague, so the above is a cell phone photo.



day 25... what ever you please.

My nephew, Spencer, does not usually let me take his picture. While we were in Maryland he allowed me a few shots. This is my favorite, and since he let me take more than one I have another that I like...

Whew... now I am only one day behind!

i'm back...

It has been a while since I have visited my own blog and even longer since I have posted. Life was a bit overwhelming for a while but I am back. A lot has happen in the four months I have been gone. Kate came and visited, so did Connie, then Kate and Matt again and the Burtons. Patrick's first National Sales Meeting is behind him and went well. Our home in Maryland finally closed in mid January and two weeks ago we closed on our new home here in Texas. There were other things, some that changed me forever. With so much going on I found it hard to write and worse I did not take pictures. Now that we are in our new home I have taken my camera out and I am beginning to explore photography again. We have fallen into a new routine over the past few months. Patrick works during the day, I keep the house, volunteer a little and in the evenings we walk. In the apartment we walked to the local Starbucks and then around the complex. Here in Bridgeland we have miles of walking trails, most along side of the many lakes. The temperature drops after dinner and a breeze blows most nights. I love our walks.
