Finding Flowers

June 9, 2011 by Elaine

I like to photograph flowers every chance I get and I find them in lots of places… Such as my MIL’s backyard.   I loved this one is color too but only posting the b&w because well, I love it the most. Also found in her backyard… I really like flowers that have lots of…

Games We Play

June 2, 2011 by Elaine

We took a lot of road trips when I was a kid.  For summer vacations mostly.  We played car games like “I Spy”,  the alphabet game and “Tank” (if you are not from south Texas and your name is not Elaine, Misty or Amanda, you may not know that last one – I think my…

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….

She was busy…

May 18, 2011 by Elaine

…playing with the “old school” sprinkler system out front. This girl LOVES water. She could play in a cup of water with an ice cube in it all afternoon. Or a sprinkler thingy.  She’s fine with that too… (all pics SOOC) Linking up for Wordful Wednesday too, yo.

Clean faces are SO overrated

May 11, 2011 by Elaine

Sometimes I get lazy with my mothering.  You know, I don’t always change a diaper the very MINUTE I smell the stink. I don’t wipe the highchair off after every third meal. Sometimes I get yet ANOTHER sippy cup out of the cupboard after I know 3 or 4 have already been used that day….

Gardens & Weddings

May 4, 2011 by Elaine

I think I may have had a little bit of You Capture ESP as I went around taking pictures, OUTDOORS, in my mother’s front yard/gardens while in Texas at Easter.  I just love her statues and various knick-knacks that she has placed all around. Last Saturday we had the wedding of our friends.  Remember the…

Spring-alicious!

April 20, 2011 by Elaine

I love spring so much that I wish I could bottle it up and take it with me everywhere. And since it doesn’t last that long here in our part of the country I mean that even more than you might think. I promise you summer (or at least the heat of it) is JUST…

Hey kids, come over here so I can take your picture!!

April 13, 2011 by Elaine

I’m trying to follow in the footsteps of the lovely Steph and take pics of my kids on the third of every month (she does the fourth since she has four kids, so that’s why I usually do the third, get it?).   I don’t always post them here but I take them.  Except for…

Range of Emotions – WW & You Capture

March 16, 2011 by Elaine

As I mentioned earlier in the week, my camera is out of commission for a bit. And that makes me sad. But not nearly as sad as what has recently happened in our world, specifically Japan, in the last several days. My heart is heavy yet I keep a brave face for my kiddos. It’s…
