PC Week 16

I missed last week of my photo challenge. Oh well. Life just got in the way and I didn't get a picture taken. So here is a photo for this week! Aaron is building an air line (or something) for the garage. I have lost track of what he does out there but thought a fire shot would be kind of cool!

The weather has been beautiful lately, which got me outside and running for the first time this year! I am not a runner by any means, but finally decided that I should be more active. Three times a week, that's my goal...and that's really not that much. We have a nice trail by our house so why not take advantage of it?! We will see how it goes.

Cat Toes

If you were to glance into our abode these past January and February evenings, there's a good chance you would see Aaron fiddling in the garage with a few "new" old fourwheelers. I would probably be either sitting on the couch in our living room, checking for updates on our soon-to-be-arriving-into-this-world puppy or else lesson planning and prepping for the next school day. The cats would be chasing each other, full speed, back and forth from our bedroom to the living room - their little paws causing quite a thundering noise.

There aren't too many exciting things happening during these winter months. Just the excitement of a warm, 30+ degree day. The excitement that we hit our 100th day of school and there are only 75 days left until summer break. The excitement that my step-sister is expecting a little baby boy due any day now.  

Of course I'm looking forward to spring weather and all the things that go along with it, but there is something nice about these predictable, low key, winter evenings where nothing is planned and you can wear sweats from the time you get home from work until bedtime. 

These days have caused me to feel settled in our town and in our home and at my work,  and it's a great feeling.

I think I'm in a plant taking rut when it comes to detailed photos!

Eventually I'll "branch" out. ha. :)

My sister and I took a picture of the same type of flower this week! What a coincidence!

PC Week 5

Frosted Barb Wire

Yesterday, on our drive home from Nathan and Heather's, everything was frosted white. We ended up taking the gravel road home just so we could meander and enjoy the scenery. I found myself saying "STOP!" every five minutes so I could try a different angle on a different object with my camera. The brakes on my car and Aaron's right foot got a good workout.

PC week 1

Last Sunday I decided I would do a photo challenge. I would try to be more detailed in my photo taking. Well, it was harder than I thought. I'm in the market for a DSLR camera but still haven't decided if I'll go with Canon or Nikon. So until then, these photos are/will be taken with my handy phone.

And my eldest sister also participated! :) Thank you Kristin!
