Week 9

I have not killed everything in my garden!

Not everything has made it though…

I have tried gardening in the past and usually give up in the hot months.

My goal this year is actually make it to fall!

I am still doing a nightly photo project.

Lots of plant watching going on. They made a cable car for Super Charged Science! They modified it a bit to balance better and hold passengers.

Sometimes the boys sneak out when I go outside at night…

I finished this girls hair also!

After several hours of work we finished and she promptly went outside to do gymnastics…

I was hoping she would just want to sit and enjoy her hair for a bit.

Guess not.

New photo project

I have taken up another daily photo project.

I am not sure yet how long it will be.

I go out every night after getting kids to bed and walk around our yard.

That in and of itself is relaxing and making it worthwhile.

 

I used to walk outside in the evenings a lot when I was teenager.

I love watching the changes that are happening every day.

The little things that I never noticed.

Like a plants first flower.

Or new bugs that are coming out as we enter summer.

Sometimes one of the boys will be out there and I can’t resist snapping a shot.

Sometimes I feel nostalgic of when I did my first photo project, 365 self portraits.

That was about 8yrs ago.

I am finding that I am improving my dog photography since our dog Milo is an interesting subject.

So far I am 27 days in.

I am wondering how long I can find things to take pictures of in our yard.

You would think I would run out eventually!

But for now I am enjoying the challenge and the chance to end the day in peace and quiet.

Have you ever done a daily project?

What did you think?

 

Daily Photo Challenge

While I had the D850 we rented, I decided to do a daily photo challenge.

This picture started it.

I loved it and wanted more like it.

So this was DAY 1

DAY 2

I am in love with how crisp and clear the d850 is.

It caught my daughters joy of the story she was telling perfectly.

DAY 3

I am sharing the rest from my facebook page to make it easier on myself, since I used the cameras wifi to download them straight to my phone!

It was one of my favorite parts of the camera!

It made sharing pics while traveling so easy!

DAY 4

We stopped halfway up to Minnesota at a hotel so we got to see more things on the way up!

I will share more pics from this awesome nature center and Nature Playpark later.

DAY 5

Finally in Minnesota and we went to a fun event the next day!

Maplewoods Leaf Days are so much fun to attend, even when it is really cold!

DAY 6

This is my favorite of the challenge.

We took my oldest, littlest, and one of my nephews with us into town and they were cracking me up.

Little Bit loved the audience and kept trying to be silly so they would laugh at her.

Again the d850 with my 50mm 1.2 lens caught the moment with beautiful clarity.

I hated sending the camera back…

DAY 7

We left the boys with Nick’s parents and took the girls up to Voyageurs National Park for a few days.

The boys were so excited to get to stay with their grandparents and cousins and I got to see some beautiful scenery.

Nick and I went to Voyageurs 6yrs ago but I loved seeing it again!

DAY 8

We got to see snow while up in Northern MN!

I was so excited!

DAY 9

Watching their littlest cousin play Angry Birds 😉

I took way too many pics and can’t wait to share some more on here!

My oldest requested that I make a photo book so I had better get editing!
