This morning, an image from this time last year caught my attention.
Tag: morning light
Welcome, fall!
Today is the first day of fall, day 300 of my third 365 photo project, and my 100th blog post all wrapped into one.
Backlight
I find that I’m drawn more and more to using backlight in my images.
Sunrise through the fence
The sunlight peeking through our fence caught my attention this morning.
Swim goggles
Although we’re back at school, signs of summer vacation are still present in our house.This morning, rays of sunlight illuminated our daughter’s swim goggles, which are still hanging on the back of her chair.
Before a busy day
Here is an unusually calm moment in our dining room, before we start our busy day.
Working together
I enjoyed this moment from the summer. Two sisters, working together, determined to fix a scooter by themselves.
Memories of the playground
This image brings back memories of playing in the playground next to my childhood home with the kids in the neighborhood. So many wonderful memories of playing together for hours, jumping, swinging, tree climbing, bike riding, rollerskating, and going on adventures are flooding to my mind this morning.
I moved away from the neighborhood and my childhood friends long ago, but my memories of those days with friends are still vivid.
This morning, I am thankful that I have recently found and reconnected with an old friend; I am truly enjoying sharing some of our favorite childhood memories and catching up with each other!
The writer
While the girls were both involved in a quiet activity, I took the opportunity to tiptoe down the hallway and peek into their bedroom. There, I discovered our oldest, deep in thought, letting her ideas flow onto the pages of her new notebook.
Although she was aware of my presence, she remained focused and continued to write. This allowed me the time to capture an image of her doing something that she loves.
These natural moments are some of my favorite ones to photograph.
Three at the window
For me, quiet, relaxing mornings are one of the joys of summer break. I am thankful that there is no need to get sleepy kids out of bed, no need to find backpacks and pack lunches, and no need to rush out of the house to make it to school before the morning bell. I welcome the change.
At our house, (most of the year, but especially in the summer) the girls and I enjoy starting our day by creating; the girls wake up and start drawing before breakfast and I enjoy taking photos in amazing morning light.
As the first full week of summer break started today, it seemed like the perfect time to set up the art table again. There is a need for a dedicated space where art supplies are ready anytime and where the girls can come together and create. So, after moving a bit of furniture around, I set up a place for them at the front window, and they immediately started drawing together.
A few minutes later, their sweet pup joined them and all three sat together at the window.
I treasure these moments!
