Random Wordless Wednesday

As you may or may not know, I am in my third (and last!) year of Project 365.  Because of that, there are some days when I only take a few pictures and other days I take a ton.  As you can well imagine, there are many, many photos that don't make the cut for the photo of the day.  Here are some that didn't make it ...

Keira and I were able to attend my mother-in-law's Mother-Daughter banquet this year.  This was what our plate looked like before we ate.  A jar of sugar scrub placed on this very cool folded napkin.

One day after a good rain I stepped outside to see what I might capture.  These rain drops were on my gladiolus leaves.

And this bug was making a snack of another bug.

When I went along with Doug and the boys on their first fishing outing of the year, I couldn't fish because I don't have my license yet.  Instead I took pictures.  I tried and tried to capture some fish jumping out of the water.  There was one in particular that I watched jump out over and over again, but I was never fast enough to capture him.  Somehow I did manage to capture these two although I didn't have time to adjust my camera settings which resulted in a very noisy, underexposed photo.  But I got them jumping!  And I think that might be a turtle poking his head out there too.

We have summer phlox growing all over the place this year.  Nick was sweet enough to go out and bring back a huge bouquet of it for me.

Lastly, I bought myself a bouquet of roses a couple weeks ago.  But I enjoyed photographing the baby's breath more than the roses themselves.

Week 20 in Pictures

Another week gone!  I can't believe Memorial Day is in a week!  And that the kids will be done with school soon!  This past week kept me pretty busy.  I helped with our church's Ladies' Luncheon, which was Saturday.  It went pretty well considering we decided to throw it together just about a month ago.  :)  We will get started planning earlier next year.  


I also had my first official photo shoot with a sweet almost two-year-old.  It was fun following him around, seeing the world through his eyes.  I still have to finish up editing the photos, but the few I showed his mom made her very happy.

Anyway, let's see what the week looked like in pictures ...

{Sunday}

The kids each made me something special for Mother's Day.  Alex gave me this hand print he made at school.  Nick made a flower vase.  And Keira made me a couple bead necklaces.  And Doug bought me two new tires for my van.  He's so romantic.  :)  Actually we went out for lunch to my favorite restaurant on Thursday since he unexpectedly had the day off.  Then we shopped for flowers for my flower bed.  And I got a hanging pot of Petunias.

{Monday}

While at church on Sunday our Pastor told those lingering around afterward that we could take some flowers from the funeral arrangements.  His father-in-law's funeral was Saturday and there were several arrangements left there.  Keira was glad to pick through them and give me a bouquet for Mother's Day.  :)  This beautiful lily was among those she picked.

{Tuesday}

Woke up to thick fog that lifted pretty quickly once the sun came out.

{Wednesday}

Alex and I went to our church to get the flower beds ready for planting.  While there he wanted to walk over to the neighbor's and see the horses.

{Thursday}

I had a photo shoot with a sweet almost-two-year-old boy.  More photos coming soon.

{Friday}

Capturing some sun flare through my purple Lupine flowers.

{Saturday}

Our Ladies' Luncheon was today.  Everything went very well and now I can relax.  After the luncheon my mother-in-law, Sue, and Keira wanted their photo taken in front of the stone part of our church.  I love how they chose to look at each other instead of at me.  And I also love that Keira is almost as tall as my MIL, who is about 5' 9".  Okay, maybe I don't really love that so much since that means my girl is growing up.  But it is cool that they are almost eye to eye.
