2011 - A Day in the Life - week 44

Week 44.  You know that means we have 8 weeks left to the year.  Wow.  My year in review should be interesting, to say the least, to recap.  But for now, we are still in 2011 and this was my past week.

Sunday 10/30
My bear cat.  He's a great snuggler. 

Monday 10/31

Sweet Pea with her kitty face on before Trick-or-Treating.

Tuesday 11/1

Beautiful light. 

Wednesday 11/2

Yes. I'm inside with a jacket and scarf on. 
The gym is always freezing. I think I pulled out the beanie about 5 minutes after this picture. 

Thursday 11/3


My now 11-year-old. 
Finally found time to get her annual pictures taken. 

Friday 11/4 

Rediscovering my love of Calvin & Hobbes

I couldn't get the first pane to fit in the picture. 
This is the one where Calvin finds a hurt baby raccoon. 
He and his parents try to help him.  
I took this picture because it's such a metaphor for life. 
Shit happens, but you must remember to take the lesson in all of it...
even if it's a "stupid world".

Saturday 11/5

I was cleaning my room and unearthed these. 
I don't own a tape deck anymore. 
But believe it or not I have one in my 2006 truck. 
I will be torturing the kids with my mix tapes from 1995.

    I have a sweetpea 6 yr old "kitty" wandering our house often too and 2 real furballs. May 2012 bring you more runs, snuggling kitties and healing in all ways.

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
