Leftovers

September 21, 2011 by Elaine

I’ve been “single parenting” a bit lately and even though Tim has not been around very much for dinner, I’m still making the same amount of food for our family in the evenings. This means the fridge is full of leftovers.  When he does return home to sleep for a few hours, he’s spent. The…

Sometimes life hands you apples…

September 15, 2011 by Elaine

I was out and about on my own yesterday for a little while.  It was nice. I had in mind the assignment for You Capture this week and specifically planned a trip to the local outdoor fruit and vegetable market just to take pictures of apples. I took my good camera and was going to…

11 Hours a Week!

September 8, 2011 by Elaine

I somehow found myself with 3 whole hours to myself this morning. How did this happen you ask… Well, it’s because all three of my kiddos are now in some sort of “school”! I took Little G and Baby K for their first day at their same school today.  K is technically in “Mother’s Day…

So Long Summer!

September 7, 2011 by Elaine

Usually come May or so I want Summer to arrive SO badly that I can almost taste the sand that inevitably ends up in my mouth.  That’s how much I look forward to our beach vacations. But by the time September rolls around and the humidity has been dripping of my body in the form…

Peace – You Capture

September 1, 2011 by Elaine

We all find peace in different places and different ways.  Sometimes it’s just lying in the bathtub having a good soak while reading a favorite book. Or maybe it’s while lounging in a beach chair with waves crashing and a fruity drink with a straw, ready for drinking. Or perhaps during a nice yoga session….

Ordinary Moments – You Capture

August 18, 2011 by Elaine

Sometimes I think about what it will be like when my kids are older and don’t necessarily enjoy ice cream this much anymore.  Although that’s impossible right? Ice cream is yummy no matter your age. Perhaps they will look at me like I’ve lost my mind when I tell them to stand by the wall…

Beautiful Eyes – i heart faces

August 15, 2011 by Elaine

I took this shot of K when I first got my 50mm lens.  It’s one of my very faves and pretty fitting for i heart faces this week, dontcha think? It’s kinda like she’s looking down into my soul.  So intense for a baby girl.  Also?  Makes me wanna kiss my computer. 🙂 i heart…

I miss fruit

July 28, 2011 by Elaine

Fruit, glorious fruit, oh how I love you so. .. You taste so juicy and sweet… But, this week I wouldn’t know. I chose not to eat you to aid in losing a few pounds. So someone else I know gets to make those juicy smacking sounds.  P.S. Fruit.  I miss you. See you next…

Water – i heart faces

July 26, 2011 by Elaine

I just love this boy and his passion for the ocean.  It reminds me of me when I was a kid. He was even brave enough to go back in the water after hearing about a little girl that got stung by a jellyfish.  Perhaps more brave than me. Ahem. I also love this shot…
