everyday

Everyday this week there has been the most amazing sunsets… and everyday this week I have been driving while seeing them. The one day I had my camera with me, I stopped. I love Kansas fields and sunsets.  I think I have this mental picture of God saying… Okay I know your days are crazy hot, but here is a gorgeous evening sky to make up for it.

Summer is…

Summer is….

My teacher-sister coming home for a visit:

And everyone being really glad to see her:

Summer is…  Cousins hanging around telling stories of growing up together:

(apparently the debate was about whether the hamster was killed by being dropped or if it committed suicide by jumping…)

Summer is… being too busy having fun at the barbeque to take pictures of dad grilling like I planned.

Summer is… being reminded that life isn’t fair because my siblings tan and I don’t:

Summer is… cute kids plopping in the grass after running  a race:

Summer is… waking up the next morning to find dad playing farmer in his garden.  

Summer is… fresh cucumbers and tomatoes and corn and green beans:

Summer is… being told to put down the camera and start helping. and then getting covered with bug bites cause I was smart and gardened in flip flops and shorts. 

Summer is… awesome

I love playing with my pictures, and I was excited about this challenge because last Friday I did a photo shoot with my friend and her girls.  It was my first time photographing more than 2 people, and I was wondering how I would do.  Conclusion: I love my single-people shots but have no clue how to group more than 2 people.  Guess I need to work on that…

Anyway, I would have played with them some more but I have spent the last 4 days on orientation for my new job and pretty much what I have learned is that I did a smart thing by not picking an 8-4:30 job because OH MY WORD I don’t know how people do it.  When do you get things accomplished? I am so tired by the of the day that I collapse on the couch.  So ready for my 3 12s to come back… and even more ready to be on nights again.  Mornings are not my friend.

 

So… the few I have played with in black and white~
