2012 - A Day in the Life - Weeks...uhm...lots

Friday 6/29
This was my first kill and clean. 
It was either kill it or it was going to die and we waste the meat. 

Saturday 6/30

See the hidden kitty? 

Sunday 7/1
Fail

Monday 7/2

This is the stump and about 8 roots off a cottonwood tree we dug up. 
It took an excavator and 5 hours of digging to get this thing out of the ground. 

Tuesday 7/3

Picked Cayenne (Kai) up today. 
I have "joint custody".  The girls are in love and can't wait for her to come back. 

Wednesday 7/4

Kai snuggles. 

Thursday 7/5

Cheers to chapters ending. 

Friday 7/6

I woke up to this in my bed. 

Saturday 7/7

The girls might be infatuated. 

Sunday 7/8

A gymnastics expo.  I love her in gym.
So good for her confidence and learning about persistence.

Monday 7/9 

Sitting at my desk...in the corner of new kitchen. 

Tuesday 7/10

My Sass.  We were at my brother's for a bbq.  
I asked her to pose for me. 

Wednesday 7/11

A day at the lake. 

Thursday 7/12

A night run on the treadmill before spending the day on the plane. 

Friday 7/13

She's riding the metro! 

The girls on Pennsylvania Ave. with the Capital behind them. 

On the backside of Lincoln with my cousin. 

Loved the shoes and dangling legs. 

Saturday 7/14

Look! There's me, Bari, Barb, Thea (peeking through), and Audrey!
All of us together at the Natural History Museum. 
So thankful everyone was able to make the trek to see the girls and me.

Sunday 7/15

Ahhhh!!

Monday 7/16

My girls in the surf.  Me...relaxing. 

Tuesday 7/17

She was so excited because I told her she could have a second piece of chocolate cake. 
I'm not sure if it was the exhaustion of the day mixed with the offer from my uncle.
It was delicious cake.  

Wednesday 7/18

She's wearing my dad's hat...
We were on a seashell hunt.  
Just her and I. 

Thursday 7/19

Bonfire. 
Smores. 
(Thanks, Bari for the picture!)

Friday 7/20

Uhm...this is the whole reason I wanted to go to the Boardwalk in Ocean City. 


Bari and I on the boardwalk. 

Saturday 7/21

Hanging with my girl relaxing after 4 hours in the car. 
Prepping for 5 hours in the car the next day. 

Sunday 7/22

If you know my maiden name (soon to be re-activated), then you know it's not a common name. 
We buried my Granny's ashes with my Gramps today.  
This cemetery had as many of us below ground as above ground this day. 
Definitely a bizarre situation, but it was very cool.

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.
