#insaneroadtrip day 22

This morning started out early. 5:30 to be exact. T's flight left at just shy of 7. After dropping him off I hit up Starbucks for coffee, breakfast for me and some chocolate milk for the girls. Then I headed back to the hotel to pack up the truck. We had to say goodbye to my parents, niece and Granny. Granny is the hardest one. The whole just turned 90, mortality thing hits her every time. She loves us and the little girls so much, the last few years she says goodbye like it may be the last. And it breaks my heart. She is an amazing lady.

On the road again! But today, die to the change in plans mentioned yesterday, made our drive a nice and easy 5-hour drive back to Brooke's house. It was a lovely drive and I did get this one picture.






The drive was uneventful and then we got back here.






Jay grilled us chicken and potatoes for dinner. The girls watched the 5th Harry Potter movie and now are pretending to be asleep.






Granted I'm heading up shortly myself as 5 am is going to come awfully early.

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

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
