Favorite Still Life From July

Filed Under: Photography

I love this photo because of sparkles and the water bokeh.

 I have really been in a photography rut lately. I hope I dig out of it soon. I just have not been very creative or taking many photos. Hopefully that will change.

    If I had taken that shot it would have been my favourite aswell - love the glint from the sun and that delicious bokeh.

    Excellent choice! I love everything about this. The haze makes me feel the summer humidity, but doesn't keep the droplet from being clear and sparkilng. I keep scrolling up to look again! ;) Love it!

    I know what you mean. I got a new camera and haven't taken nearly as many pictures as I want to, but it is so hot. The kids have been extra clingy and whiny this week with the new adjustment. Yourehot we will both get out of it. At least we have each other.

    Gorgeous photo and great choice. Love the sparkles and I've been trying to capture some water drops lately so I know how hard it is to get an image like this.

    I like the sparkles! In May & June I was feeling the same way- no photo inspiration. Things started inspiring me again this month. You'll get out of that rut soon chica. Alita

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendro I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendron white wizard when I first got it, I also didn’t give it enough sunlight. So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
