You Capture - Faces

Beth? Are you out there?  Because I loved this challenge.so.much.  
I think I captured a lot of love here too. 

Oh, how I love her sweet face!


And check out the eyelashes!! I thought only boys had eyelashes like that!
(Do you like the bedhead too?)


He is one of my most favorite people! 
This is my honey, my rock, my money-maker, the love of my life!
(Yes, sappy. But after more than 15 years together I still like him!)


This is the other "man" in my life.  This is Bear.  
He is sweet and stubborn and very jealous when it comes to sharing me with T.  


This is "my" girl (the middle child).  She is the only one who looks enough like me for it to be obvious that she's my kid. She is so sweet and full of generosity and love.  Did you see the letter she wrote me the other day? No? 
Go here and see.  


And last, but certainly not least.  Me.  A sweaty mess after running 5+ miles wearing my awesome Team In Training training T-shirt.  This is the face a happy runner.

So what did YOU capture this week?

    These are great captures! I don't even have a cat, but I know how hard it is to get cat's eyes to LOOK LIKE THAT! and the girls? well, fabulous! I love that you are doing team in training. Being able to run and given back in that way is phenomenal. I wish you tons of luck in your training and June's big day :)

    Mmmmmmmmm, runner's high! Love it. Miss it!

    And "bedhead" is my favorite kiddo look, too. There's something so inherently happy about it, like a souvenir from all those sweet dreams.

You Capture - DOF

Image
I loved this challenge.  I've been striving to find "the" depth of field picture that just speaks to me.  Luckily I had lots of opportunity this past weekend to find the pictures I wanted to.  On Saturday I boarded a bus to California's Amador County wine country and visited 4 different wineries with a friend. These were so bright and beautiful and simple. The colors!! Perfection! I took about 20 pictures of this door trying to get this perspective.  I love this one.  This was another one that was may favorite of about 20.   I think it's the burst of orange.   I can't wait to see all the beautiful pictures everyone else is going to post over at Beth's.

You Capture - Feet

Image
So, my first thought was to take a picture of all the little feet in my house, from cats to dogs to kids.  And then I went on a little hike last Sunday as part of some prescribed quiet time.  It was lovely.  And it got me to thinking about where my feet tread in life. The reflection of my feet in the side of my truck after my run before my hike. I was planning on heading to a place I used to go in high school.  Right on the edge of town - less than 5 minutes from my house - there is a small area of rocks on the side of the mountain that I used to climb with a friend.  I wanted to sit on the top of those rocks and just listen to the silence.  And here is that spot.  Unfortunately, the people who live at the base of this hill obviously own the land up to the hill and put a fence al the way to the base of it.  So I drove up the dirt road a bit to the south of this spot and found a different spot.   Looking down at the town I grew up, it still lo...

You Capture - Best Shot

Image
I suppose after two weeks of getting assignments and pictures that I *really* liked, it was time for me to struggle.  I wasn't taking any pictures that just spoke  to me.  But then again, it took me a long time to start taking pictures that I really liked. But I do have a couple that I think were my best for the week.  Hey, I've got an idea! Let me share them with you! This was taken on a hike the two older girls and I took last week.   And then we had our first harvest. One lone strawberry.  There are many more growing.  We are trying to keep the birds from nibbling on them before we get a chance to pick them.  Check out what other's thought was their best shot over at Beth's.
