Today's word of the day - FUN

I was taking pictures of the kids all playing at a party this weekend, they were all having fun, but I think the second image might be more fitting with the word wistful.

Today's word of the day comes via my son - LOVE

203/365

Today's word of the day - Ew!

I just really do not like bananas, and I know they are all good for you and all that. I even hear they are supposed to be sweeter when turning like this, but really? I personally say - Ew!

Today's word of the day - GROWTH

201/365

OPPORTUNITY

Today's word  is Opportunity. Had all kinds of ideas, but this, this wonderful child is my opportunity. My opportunity to raise a well mannered, handsome, intelligent human being and help him make his way in this world full of opportunities!

200/365 Another OOPs day!

I woke up Tuesday morning to realize I hadn't taken a single shot. I was sad since it was supposed to be my 200th. Unfortunately, there was absolutely nothing I could do about it at that moment 'cept fess up that i missed yet another day. The only reason it's not too bad is because I've only missed 3 in 200 days, not too shabby, eh?

I will do better for 201 - 365. Promise!

I could take photos like this over and over (oh, wait, I think I have done that, haven't I?)

195/365

I love how in one shot the mood is so different from the other. 

Cheerful & silly vs dreamy & happy!

Is this what happens with age?

Tonight a storm passed through and the sky had wonderful streaks of lightening all over the place. I just love these heat storms. I decided after watching the storm for a while to give it a shot (literally) taking photos of the lightening. It was already moving away, so I just set up through a screen. It was not a good idea, but I still got a few photos that were 'decent' enough to share. I'll be waiting for the next storm!

When my son does this the first couple of shots, I don't expect much from the evening. 

But then he finally got in the groove.

I think the last two are my favorites!

I really like this shot from today as well, but more because it shows the way a 4 year old thinks. I really Love this kid!

This little girl walked into my shot as I was taking it. It was such a shock to see her standing there when I looked at the image, but worked out so perfectly in my mind. Loved it. 

It is kind of dark on the right, but something about the whimsy of her hair and the light, it was the only photo I ended up taking for the day!

Happy Fourth of July!

Hope everyone had as much 4th of July Fun as we did!
