30 August



What I'm doing today

so I've been watching the boys at the wharf

they play wall-ball and rag-tag

and generally rule the universe

in the way that kids do at the end of summer days.

sunset in the living room




Candid

my beautiful daughter, Hannah.

It's very difficult to catch a candid shot of her...

She had just jumped off the wharf and was watching

one of the boys do something silly

I could have used this picture for natural light as well

a bit of a break from the frisbee game for some candy time

    That shot of your daughter is just breathtaking - truly. I have one who, from an early age, was so aware of everything going on around her....and on to all my camera ways....that catching a true candid of her is nearly impossible. I love the light in the shot and the peace in her expression!

    I always enjoy your shots. Sunset inside the living room is cool. In your world kids rule the universe. In mine, it's a 19 pound terrier! Nice to be back.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
