Beautiful flowers!

Photography: Strolling Through the Park (Part #4)

Beautiful, thanks for sharing.

More photos from our wonderful excursion to the local park. My goodness, to think this is all free and just a drive away! We have not been back yet, we have been much too busy. For some of you who have noticed I have not been around much, I apologize. I have not had as much time to spend reading.

This week we are laying hardwood floors in our master bedroom. We have already done all the other floors in the house and this is the last room left. It is a lot of work, but we are almost finished and the floors look extremely lovely so I can’t complain. Can’t wait to actually get out and about again though!

Either way, enjoy the view and know I will be keeping my eye out for the next photographic moment to share 🙂

Photography: Willingly Losing Myself in the Beauty of Spring (Post #2)

Beautiful ! thanks for sharing.

Yesterday was relaxing, but for some reason I felt a bit unaccomplished. I guess I was hoping to end the week doing a bit of organizing. I always get through summer wishing I had gotten some thing accomplished but somehow it was forgotten. I guess I will have to do that this weekend and I guess it’s a perfect time because the sky is gray and it has been raining a bit here and there. Tomorrow we are expecting thunderstorms. I’m not so averse to staying indoors now that I have gotten my outdoor fix, but I will be scheduling at least a day to go out and take photographs (if not more than that).

Anyway, here are more photos from our trek through the gardens this past week. As I was telling someone in the comments, I found out something rather odd. My photos (in the past) always disappointed…

Okay, it is official… we are crazy. You have to understand though – I homeschool. I spend all day long (every day) with the kids and spend my time in front of a computer, moving from one child’s work to the next. I don’t get out as much as I would like and sometimes, yes – even a walk around the block is a luxury I can’t afford. It’s not a complaint, but I have my limits… So yes, we actually finished school and then went for three straight days to the botanic gardens nearby. Three straight days.

I truly need to get outdoors. It is where I find myself most at peace and I can feel relaxed. The troubles of my day, the sorrows of the world around me fade away and all I can see are blue skies stretching toward the horizon, I feel the breeze, I listen…

Photography: Leaning into Spring (Post #1)

Beautiful Spring Photographs

Sumyanna Writes

Yesterday, we finally went to the gardens. We packed a nice lunch and ate under one of the gazebos near the pond. Yes, you heard that right, school is finally out. So yesterday, I played hooky – no school, no computer, just sunshine and me 🙂 Okay, the kids were there too, but they kept busy taking photographs of their own.

One of my little ones sadly announced that she does not like taking photos and thought I would be disappointed. She loves drawing though, so today when we go back to the gardens she will bring drawing implements with her. I’m not disappointed at all, but I would love to see her grow in her artistic endeavors.

Speaking of endeavors… my oldest daughter did finally start her own photography blog. You can find her at Chronicles of Wonder. One of her teachers suggested that she start sharing her…
