Growing up, I learned to associate the color yellow with my mom. We had a bright yellow car, and the roses she preferred were this same vivid color. She loves the color yellow. Therefore, this photo is for her.
I love you, Mom.
seaside stroll
A little tug in my hamstring discouraged me from squeezing in a hike after my mommy shuttling duties were complete. With my trip a little more than a week away, I can’t afford to mess with injuries. In lieu of hiking, theMAN and me take drive over the hill for a seaside stroll (aka “photo walk”) and a little bonding time at Margaritaville.
We took our time walking along the ocean, stopping to take in the view and/or snap a photo of it. This is just one of the many photos I took along the way. I had fun composing the shot to include the wildflowers in the foreground. Since we are often photographing the same things, I have been looking for ways to make my photos a little different from the ones theMAN takes. It’s a fun exercise and helps to challenge me in my development as a photographer. Plus it’s cool to have photos that stand out and make this seaside stroll different from the last one.

I’m more of a dog person but this little guy was kind of cute.
Sidewalks and Sunflowers
TheMAN recently bought himself a little camera to take with him on his trip to Nepal. His eagerness to get familiar with his new toy has lead to outings in the final hours of daylight. I call these walks in-search-of-picture-worthy-items “photo walks.” They are a great eye-openers, allowing us to see things in a way which we have never quite seen them before.
This sunflower is growing not far from the sidewalk about 5-6 houses down from me.
Evening
This time of year, when the days offer up more and more sunlight, I enjoy sitting in my front yard in the evening. There is a family down the street who’s routine includes a walk around the block. It’s fun to see the youngsters taking in the world around them, shyly saying “hello” to everyone, and asking Dad all sorts of questions. They seem to be growing up right before our eyes. This little guy learned to walk earlier this year. Just look at him now.
