2011 - A Day In The Life - Week 29

Sunday 7/17

Six miles outside for the first time in over a month. 

Monday 7/18

This puppy was one of Sass's favorites.  It's been lost for *years*. 
They found him in the bottom of a sleeping bag we obviously haven't used in years. 

Tuesday 7/19

Like the headband? I didn't buy it.  
Not enough hair to justify a headband.

Sweet Pea and our friend Miss Barbara.  
She was in town for one night and we all went out to eat.

Thursday 7/21

Allergy drugs!! 
Lots of them = happy Kirsten 

Friday 7/22

Post Shrinking Jeans bootcamp run. 
Hot, sweaty mess. 

Saturday 7/23

So proud of my girl, Sass.
She participated in the kids triathlon sponsored through the local pool. 
She swam, biked, and ran hard.

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

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.
