If the sight of the blue skies…

Filed Under: Photography

fills you with joy

if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you,

if the simple things in nature have a message you understand, Rejoice, for your soul is alive.

It was an adventure to get there but we finally di It was an adventure to get there but we finally did. The place we normally park was closed for repaving so we went on the hunt for a new place. It was a nice secluded spot that we might just make our new spot. The kids had a blast, I am glad it stays shallow here plus we didn’t have to worry about waves.

Project 365 photo catch up. Can’t believe it is Project 365 photo catch up. Can’t believe it is almost the end of May! Had my hair trimmed yesterday, and my eyebrows tinted. The eyebrow dye last for about 4-6 weeks. It gradually lightens up over time. I included the photo of Annie after she did her “makeup”. This project 365 isn’t looking like I thought it would. I was hoping to use my DSLR more but end up just using my phone and using random photos I take during the day. Nothing specific or set up pretty, but it works. I’m still capturing memories.

Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point Beautiful beach day. Got a little hot at one point and the water was too cold for me to get in but just kept dipping my feet in the water to cool down. Unfortunately I got a terrible headache in the afternoon so had to cut the trip a little short. Next time I need to remember to bring medicine. Not sure what’s been going on lately but the last few days I have gotten headaches in the afternoon.
