One picture a month

I failed this year at maintaining my weekly pictures.  But I'm going to recap my year with basically one picture a month that represents something significant that happened.

January
My last grandparent died on January 9th.  
Granny was an amazing woman.  
She is missed by many. 

February

I found this. 
I haven't looked back. :)

I spent many evenings right here.  Relaxing.  

March

Beautiful yet cold hike down to Emerald Bay. 

April

Oh look! Baby chicks! 

May

Ran the Rock N River half marathon. 
Lynn and Beki joined me for races that day. 

June

I love this picture of the girls.  They were so happy this evening.  
Running around, climbing, playing with chickens, eating. 
You know, being kids. 

I was happy this evening.  

July

Oh look! Kai joined the family!

And we had a family reunion in Delaware. 
Complete with bonfire on the beach. 

August

What a perfect picture for summer. 

September

All that hard work of raising turkeys...
smoked.  She was delicious. 


Oh look.  Here's one of the toms.  
He was yummy too. 

October

Beautiful sunset through the trees up at Lake Tahoe.


Our first year anniversary of being a family of 4. 

November

The Middle Girl began an art class. 
She's got some talent. 

Oh, look.  Me dressed up.  
Must be court. 

December

I'm trying very hard to enjoy the life I am living, not the one I think I should be living.

    Love the photos. I also failed at posting photos this year. Maybe 2013 will be easier? (Doubtful.)

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
