Do Sundays count? (365/6)

DSC_0014smAren’t they a day of rest?

The funny thing was that I actually had my camera on me and took some pictures that I could post…and then got completely sidetracked.

Part of it was that my husband was still out of town.  He and he best boys went for their bi-annual sport trip to a US city to watch a baseball and football game.

When one parent is away, the other is BUSY.  Entertaining a two and a half year old is a non-stop job.  And our two and a half year old is at a stage where sitting still is not an option.  And by the end of a day where you are on duty 100% of the time, you are exhausted.  Well, I am, anyway.

So last night, the last thing on my mind was turning on the laptop and sorting through the days pictures.

Dan - hee hee this sweater adds 3 years! Sad I missed a photo shoot on the water.

When we were out west a few weeks ago, I quietly rolled over 10,000 pictures.  Again.  I say quietly because this time, unlike the last time, I didn’t notice until a few days ago.  But it might help my argument for needing a new camera.  I have Dan almost convinced, but not quite.  Give me a month or two and it should be a done deal.

I’ll miss my D50…but not enough not to replace it.  😉

Shannen - Julie – I believe you are speaking Canon. I’m afraid I’m a Nikon girl through and through…
I’ll visit Todd’s site if you visit mine… http://www.visuelle.ca

Sarah - I believe that these pictures have a story behind it!? 😉

Sonja - We got our niece Georgia a tutu, wand, and crown for her third birthday. Seriously the best gift ever for a little girl. And the best part ever is that tutu have elastic waistbands so they expand providing years and years of fun.

Sticking with the summer theme (and maybe wishing it was still August rather than more than halfway through September), I decided to post one of my favourites from our trip out west.  Dean-Marie, Jen and I hopped in the car and drove down the road to a beautiful but bug infested field.  All other conditions, though, were in our favour.  The wind was perfect.  The light was perfect.  And the models?  Perfect.

Auntie Jenny - Love it!

Giving it another go.

So, this past winter I attempted to post a photo a day…and failed miserably.  I gave up .  It was far too time consuming and with very little time to take photos, I was struggling to find something to post everyday.

But I feel a renewed sense of excitement this fall.  I’m home and hanging out with Jaia everyday which provides me with ample opportunity to take pictures of her and document us and our day-to-day.  I’m also enrolled in a photography course for the fall (YAY!!) and I suppose I’ll be asked to be snapping loads of pics for that every week.

So it got me thinking about the daily photo posts.  I miss posting every day.  I know there are at least a few who’ve asked for more frequent updates and so I think I’ll oblige.  Starting today, but with no pressure on myself for the days that inspiration doesn’t strike, I will attempt a post every day.

I hope that those of you who still actually read the blog, enjoy the increased activity.  For those of you who’ve moved on, I totally understand.  I would too with close to one post per month.

So here it is.  The inaugural photo.  It was taken at Dan’s dad’s house the day after Duncan and Stephanie’s wedding.  The sun was shining and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky.  A far cry from the previous day when we were all wrapped in wool blankets to try to keep warm.
