For the Record

DSC_0351

In case you were worried about my lack of up-to-date-ness…
I'm really only a month or so behind.
(Except for the ones I posted out of order.)
So hey.

Photo 52, Week 14:  Hands

The hands theme happened during spring break.
As did snow.
Bethany and her friend went to feed the ducks.

Bethany brought food that she had refused to eat for lunch.
And then ate it anyway when the ducks ignored her.

Then there was the window theme.
I desperately wanted to get some good shots through the window.

Week 16:  Through the Window

DSC_0042

I never made it to the place with the shot I had envisioned.

Definitely planning to keep working on it.
Do you realize how creepy it seems to be out in public shooting pictures in through a window?
Yeah.

Week 17:  Moment to Remember

You might remember Big Brother and Little Brother.
They came over to play a couple of weeks back.

My kids were playing with them
right out there where just a couple of years ago
THEY were the little ones.

I did all the remembering.
The kids were busy playing.

There.  I am officially caught up.
For the record.

Cinco

DSC_0310

Photo 52, Week 19 (!!):  Cinco

DSC_0272

The participants in Photo 52 this year are awesome.
Last year's were great, don't get me wrong.
But this year's group just randomly sends me suggestions for themes.
Themes that make me rack my brain!
Like cinco.

DSC_0323

I know it comes as a surprise to you that I am not Mexican.
And while I'm sure it would be very fun to check out the Cinco de Mayo happenings,
that has never been on our radar much.

So I settled for five nickels on 5/5.
(I had to clean them first, which was cool.)
They offered liberty.
And God.
(And I think justice for all is implied.)
Which I think honors the Mexicans in our midst.

There you go, my five favorites.
Out of many.  All with my makeshift macro.
