Usually I 'm shy about photographing people - but this cute kiddo was sitting on the flowers watching the silver statue girl - I snapped him while everyone else was snapping the girl. Wasn't he sweet to smile for me?

friday night was pretty uneventful - except this fuzzy little fellow came floating through our gaden. He looks like a fishing lure - but he was a live flying bug. Does anyone know what this is?

june 9 day 45 burned DSC_0646
I am grateful this night to talke walks with my sweetie - and not to have to deal with this sort of trajedy right now. a house fire is a horrible thing. i hope the people are ok
june 8 day 44 Brazilian bar - a good time was had by all
we had a really good time - stayed out late dancing. i tried to samba and everyone was so nice about the fact that I really don't know how to samba - as the night wore on really i just danced more how i felt rather than trying to do the right steps. hubby danced with me - which alwasy makes me happy.
june 7 day 43 church storm DSC_0616
we went to get some fish to grill and the clouds were so fabulous. my sweetie is wonderful about making a detour for me if i see a photo I want to take. there is something really powerful to me about clouds and a cross.
june 6 day 42 blue side DSC_0602 copy
i've enjoyed having afternoons free to plant and just relax and spend time with my sweetie since starting days this week. such a quality of life improvement like you wouldn't believe.
june 5 day 41 budhist center art class red door DSC_0598
went to a drawing class with my friend maria. it was figure drawing - i am so unexperienced yet i was amazed how in just the time of one class my drawings improved. maybe with practice there is hope for me i think i may try drawing class again.
june 4 day 40 heart boxDSC_0596
i waitied until the last possible moment ot take a picture -there were other opportunities but for shame i did not take my camera - sometimes i just need to engage in life without the camera which tends to serve as a bit of a buffer - though also lends a unique perspective depending on the situation. i hope i will learn about myself by what i am and am not willing to photograph. this is a set of celtic rings which hubby and i purchased thinking our original wedding bands (cheap silver i believe $11 for the set) would eventually break - but they ahve neither broken nor tarnished - so the back up set remains in this heart.
june 3 day 39 caitline DSC_0581
Immediate fam got together to celebrate my little sis caitlin's 15th bday - she used to post for photos and ham it up. now she hams it up but mostly she tries to hide from the camera.

Saturday May 26, 2007 (Day 32) Contrary llamma
Hubby wants to have llamma's I'm partial to alpaca's but really, I just hope some day a petting zoo fits into our lifestyle. These fiber artists who own llaamas were at the farmer's market today with 3 of thier llammas -they drew a crowd of interested bystanders - mostly kids -and us. We can be kids at heart sometimes I suppose......
I was reading an article in concieve and it was talking about nurturing your relationship during infertility treatment - it said some couples go a whole day without touching once. I can not imagine this in our house. My husband and I hold hands when we walk - we sit close when we can. That sounds like a sad day to go 24 hours without touching the person you love. I guess the point was intimacy outside of TTC - but to me that is a given - how would you make it through such a difficult struggle without the comfort and nurturing of your partner/spouse? I am grateful that is at lesat one thing I do not have to work at in my life - nurturing intimacy with my partner. Of course I would work at it if necessary - I'm just grateful I don't have to.

Friday May 25 (day 31) Plaza Tower behind water
one of the photo groups had an assignment of posting a photo of a belltower or clocktower - so here is mine - the plaza belltower behind the fountain spray.
I had a long day friday - lately my hospital days have been longer and longer - I used to get off at 1 on fridays (I work a long day monday so i can do this)- but this week it wasn't until after 5:30. It was nice to relax and take a short walk with my sweet after. I think the playfullness of the water spray here is a good image for a friday night.

Thursday, May 24 (Day 30)whatever sky shot
this is one of those shots taken because I've commited to take a photo every day for a year -and some days there is nothing photo worthy across my path. Some people would make a photo where there was none - but while I find the manufactured sceenes that others shoot intriguing it is just not my style. so...i guess we can expect more weather photos in the coming year at least until I can get a good image stabilization zoom macro lense to look at things from anther perspective

Tuesday, May 22 (day 28) snake head
day 28 may 22
After work I was hoping to see the baby bluejay next door. The parents were squacking and raising a storm - so hubby climbed the fence to invesitage. He discovered this snake trying to eat the baby sparrows - so he moved it under our shed (to keep the mice away). He loves snakes and this was the first black snake of the year.
Maybe tomorrow I'll catch a glimpse of the baby jay - I'd better hurry as we noticed all of the baby birds seem to be hopping out of thier nests this week - taking first flight of the year.

Sunday, May 20 evening fishing scenes -sunday night after work
day 26
We've recently discovered this wonderful little park nearby - it was there all along but I thought it was smaller and didn't realize it had so much to offer in the way of ponds and wildlife - I just thought it was the offic space for Parks and Rec with a small creek. well, I was so wrong -its a really nice place to take a walk and a few photos - talk to people or not, have lunch, feed the geese....
on this particular occasion I got off work on Sunday evening and needed a short walk with my sweetheart to unwind.
