Category Archives: Playing in the yard… Most years we end up being pretty low key on birthdays at our house. Emily has had a few small parties over the years, but we’ve never really gone all out. So I decided this year that if any childhood birthday is worth an extravagant party, I think for a girl, Sweet 16 is the […]  Yet another month gone! Week 19: Continuing our tradition of spending a day over Mother’s Day weekend at the UC Davis Whole Earth Festival.

So today I found one of the last blooming flowers in my yard, grabbed my Lensbaby and the macro tubes and filters, and tried […]  I was excited to play with this month’s challenge, and then life happened… First Em was sick and then I was, so this was the only “motion blur” image I ended up with.
