Patriotism – You Capture

July 7, 2011 by Elaine

I want our children to be proud to live in the this country but I think they are still a little young to understand the concept fully.  It’s just a pretty BIG thing to grasp when you really think about it.   I looked at Tim as we waited for the fireworks to begin (on…

Let’s Hear it for the Boys – i heart faces

June 21, 2011 by Elaine

Trains, “boy” hair cuts, a skinned knee and sweat socks. I’d say it doesn’t get much more boyish than this… I just love the way my boys are working on the train track together in this picture. I just love THEM.

Picture This

June 1, 2011 by Elaine

I really like taking photographs but I don’t think I’m THAT good at it still, mostly because I don’t know a lot of the “technical” stuff.  I recently bought a lens that isn’t fully compatible with the model camera I own.  Does it work, yes.  Does it work to it’s full potential?  Perhaps not. Tim…

Oh So Pretty

May 26, 2011 by Elaine

I think the concept of “pretty” is something that is overrated. And blown up in our minds. Do you know what I mean?  We have this idea of “pretty” in our head as humans, for humans, and it just isn’t cut and dry. I see pretty things EVERY day in my life.  They are everywhere….
