260,261/365 Snuggles and Bugs

Today I have two very different pictures. My youngest was cuddled in a blanket (just home from swimming and cold) and Zoe came to cuddle with her. I love when she does that, so I had to take a pic. - Metadata: 105mm, ISO2500, f4, 1/160

2nd picture - What was going to be a flower picture, ended up seeing multiple Japanese beetles and decided to go for the MACRO instead. - Metadata: 105mm, ISO2500, F16, 1/400

258,259/365 Bubbles Take 1...Take 2

My girls LOVE bubbles. Here's a shot of my youngest as she plays. I was going for a different angle than the typical "blow bubble" and found it difficult to get the bubbles in focus, so I went with focus on her face instead.

Then, pic2, is of a bubble floating away...manual focus b/c my camera couldn't focus that quickly on a moving object before it popped. If you look closely, you can see my reflection as well as my daughter in the bubble.

257/365 Green pepper

I know, I'm obsessed with garden pictures right now. Mainly b/c I'm running out of creative juices with what to take photos of. I will get out of this rut. Really :)

255,256/365 Fun with Veggies

I'm very proud that I can go pick veggies out of my garden and put them on the dinner table. My cucumbers have outgrown the trellis and have found their way to my downspout to grab on to and continue to grow. My tomato plants are outgrowing the cages I have put around them and am excited to have them starting to ripen.

254/350 Can I see?

The family I took yesterday was so sweet. I wanted to share a candid of the little boy. He came up to me after taking a few pictures (can't talk much) and asked to see the pictures on the back of my camera. I showed him and he tried to swipe to the next picture. Made me laugh.

Yesterday, the blog wouldn't update so I'm posting for 2 days tonight.

Day 251/365 Bean N Berries

If you have been following my blog, you know that I am NO gardener. However, this year I decided to try my hand at a SMALL (4'x8') veggie/fruit garden. I gotta say, I'm pleasantly surprised it is going so well. We have been picking a few strawberries here and there for a few weeks. Today is my first "batch" of green beans. Its probably one serving, but hey, I'm learning. SO, out with the strawberries next year and who knows what else I may plant.
