Another Year Gone By

It's hard to fathom how fast time is passing, it seems

only a few short months ago I was celebrating my 50th...

today it's 51! 

I set out yesterday with my DSLR in hand as well as my

tripod as I wanted to capture a final shot of me at 50, 

it's no easy feat to take a self portrait but I pulled it off...

sort of! lol  Thanks to each of you who have been here

commenting on my photos, for the friendships, 

and for the kind words you have all shared with me,

I hope to be back here a bit more often during these summer months,

I miss all of you and sharing our lives with one another, all one

photo at a time. 

Cheers! 

It's been a while

I haven't visited my blog in some time now, life is busy with

my practicum in full swing and studies on the side, this and 

I'm getting my lawn all fixed up for the few beautiful months

I'll get to enjoy it. I also get out when I can, for sanity's sake

more than anything, I'm far from being a confined person

and need to do things which stimulate my senses. 

One thing I love to do is to be out on a bike,

a Harley to be more precise and I had the opportunity

to do just this last weekend. I rode with a friend and 

it was utterly exhilarating! 

I've had my beautiful princess over for an evening

and we're always finding creative things to do, 

this time it was color my sidewalks and what

fun this was! I had to dig deep into my memory

bank to remember how to play hopscotch,

but it came back to me. 

I love this time of year, the buds are blooming, color

is transpiring in my world and it's time to get out

in the world and do more of what makes my heart dance,

whatever it might be in the moment. 

Happy Spring!

The Christening

I was invited yesterday to a christening and birthday celebration, 

this young fella turned one, he's so adorable! 

I rather like this next shot, the actual christening. 

Yup, start them young and pray for the best...

Elyssa's 4th Birthday

Yesterday we celebrated Elyssa's 4th birthday, it's so hard to

believe she's already 4!  We were at a place called The Treehouse

and what a fun place. They have a massive indoor playground, one

which even adults can play in if they'd like, naturally I was right in there

sliding down the slides. My daughter, middle son and myself even

had a race going down the three slides. What a fun way to celebrate

turning four! 

The children all had an abundance of energy,

when we first got there, I'm sure there were

some exhausted children after the party though. 

Happy 4th Birthday sweetheart, 

Grammy loves you immensely and

looks forward to going back to play

at the Treehouse. What a novel idea!
