You Capture - Spring - revisited

This week's challenge from Beth was to capture spring from a different perspective.  Here are "normal" signs of spring - which compared to last week's snow, are definitely different.

Baby strawberries. 
Hopefully we have raised the sides of the garden bed enough so the bunnies won't eat them this year. 



Looking up into the new leaves of one of our trees in the backyard.



And this is the bouquet that the 9yo picked for her room.

Check out what everyone else's spring looks like...this week!

    I love the strawberries - we have boring old lettuce starting to grow. And the bouquet of flowers is sweet! :) Your photos are definitely a better sign of spring this week - hope there's no more snow for you the rest of this spring!

    Ohhh...I'm jealous of your strawberries! I can't seem to get organized enough to get any planted. ;-) Great pics!

    Aww, baby strawberries! I have to admit, I'd have a hard time being too upset with bunnies eating my strawberries. Ok, maybe just at first. :)

    Good luck keeping the bunnies away... I think we're going to have the same problem.

    OH Kirsten, I'm jealous- we have a gorgeous garden, but for the life of me, I can't get strawberries to grow!

    I strolled around your blog a bit when I saw you were a fellow runner :) Way to go with your training- I send your ankle well wishes!

    Kick butt in San Diego.

    Beautiful shots - especially that little baby strawberry. You did a really nice job with the angle and the detail of that one especially.

    I'll keep my bunny away from your berry, I promise!

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 - 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.

You Capture - Faces

Image
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.   (F
