i took exactly 12 non-work related photos in june. 3 of those were taken specifically for the old blog and the rest were of a bionicle action sequence that the gman wanted me to shoot since he doesn't own a movie camera. shameful documenting. but i will admit it was quite relaxing to ignore the camera for a while. it was a deliberate break. i wanted to be lazy when summer vacation started. i enjoyed it. now i'm back in action with a regularly scheduled photo a day month. july's good for that with a built in holiday and the trip to see the family in florida. so far so good.
july 4th: sporting our new matching old navy tees we attended a stellar cookout at sherri's complete with slip and slide and strawberries with cool whip (sans the chocolate pound cake). we even found the oomph to buy sparklers and attend the city fireworks show. go us.
july 3rd: a relaxing morning of just me and g again then a stupid interruption in the evening. very annoying that. really more than annoying to be quite honest. but a walk at the lake with camera in hand put our world back to rights. we found gladiolas with raindrops, a butterfly on a thistle, blue edged feathers, a lizard sunbathing, and this sweet ducky family. the walk reminded me that everybody struggles, even baby duckies, but overall the world is a pretty good place.
july 2nd: a whole day with just the two of us. g was in the mood to be ok with that. it was nice. i almost forgot the whole photo thing, but managed to remember last minute and snagged it for a walk on the greenway. just holding a camera makes me notice the details and think more. i like that.
july 1st: hanging out at tammy's. my little water boy helped her soak the flowers. he soaked himself too and had to borrow a shirt to wear home. totally worth it though. doesn't this shout childhood memories and summer happiness?
wait just a minute. july 2nd was a day without playdates???? the horror! ;-) Love that pic of you guys!
