Project 365, January 1, 2010
This is one of my first favorite pics taken with my 70-300mm lens. I can not wait for the weather to warm up so I can explore outside.
Halloween Moon
This isn’t exactly the best picture of the moon tonight, but it’s still spooky enough. There is a chill in the air, a fire in the fireplace, a fairytale, stereotypical Autumn night.
Seasons come, and seasons go

as autumn, life, seasons, summer, time
B’s front yard. Yes, front yard. This is what the fields look like around here this time of the year. Fields have been cut, raked and baled for winter months. Summer is almost over. Schools start back this week or next. Autumn will be in the air soon enough. The leaves on those trees will be golden yellow in a month. For everything there is a time and a season.
Pretty in Pink
This is the only one of it’s kind at B’s house. Mom picked it to save it from the weed whacker. It’s beauty will fade in a couple days time. It’s pollen gets on everything, and stains my fingers. Tis the price of beauty.
Lake House
Every summer B and I take the boat (and sometimes the kids) to the Lake for the day. For the past year we have watched this house being built. It is massive, these pictures don’t do it justice. While it was being built I would have given anything if B would have just stopped so I could wander through it, even if the walls were just two by 4’s. I would love to see what it looks like inside.
Wouldn’t it be funny if (in this enconomy) a house this big and beautiful on the outside had to stand virtually empty on the inside because they couldn’t afford the furniture? That’s highly unlikely here, but still……
Summertime Summertime Sum Summer Summertime
Is there anything better when you are a kid on a hot summer evening than watching big brother play baseball and eat a cold popcicle?
Oh to be this young and as carefree about life. Not a care in the world beyond watching Bubby play ball.
I miss those days.
Xavier, 2 years later
Remember this little guy? He’s grown up a bit since then. Xavier is now 5 and even though he’s a boy he’s still just as beautiful as he was.
And still all boy.
Oh, and not the least bit camera shy, and for that I am thankful. I enjoy shooting him every chance I get.
Scooter
In the 3 years I’ve known him, I have only a hand full of pictures where you can see his face. Most of my pictures of him are on his bike in his racing gear, helmet and all. At 14 he is turning into a good looking young man. Just turned the corner from childhood and beginning the journey into manhood. He’s one of my best friends and we have the best time together when it’s just the two of us.
I heart you Scooter. Pink Puffy heart you.
Picking dandelions
I have a thing about black and white pictures. I love them. I also love pictures of the back of people. Like this one of B’s niece. Not all of the pictures I take are of the back of kids’ heads, but sometimes it tells a much better story. Again, like the one above.
Soccer games
Princess and her cousin played on the same soccer team last year. The Coaches told the kids to watch the players on the field from the benches. I guess next time they will be a bit more specific and tell them to sit ON the benches and watch the game.
