SIX SHOTS
july of two thousand thirteen
July was hot. There were a lot of ups and downs. Things are not always easy. Or Fun. Or exciting. Some days are scheduled tight. I have friends that have a few social events every weeks with friends. We get excited to have Movie Nights at home with the babies. Actually, on a Friday this month, we went to the movie theater around five, thinking we were going to avoid the masses. We were wrong. A theater full of other people had thought the same thing.
I guess I like to throw in the reality of life because it is not my intent to only post lovely pictures and pretend life is always fabulous. There are things which require thought, planning and stress. These are the reasons why it’s so nice to get to steal time on occasion and do and share some things that are nice and positive and fun!
The top photo of us was taken before dinner and a concert!( The Rock Girl Blog Post.) The weather was great, we were relaxed and happy and I really think it’s funny/trendy/cool that he is the “background” guy.
The photo above is a bird bath in Old Town Spring which motivated me to continue with my yard plans. It’s just been too hot and even the bamboo I planted is having difficulty surviving!
The post was called Blue Shoe. I could spend all day in Old Town Spring!
The photo above was from a different day in Old Town Spring. It was a very happy day. The “A Good Day, and YES…More Animal Print” blog post only took a few minutes and we honestly, sat on the bench and talked. This was one of those fun blog posts…not like some of the ones where I have to explain how to use the focus button and consider quitting the style posts!
I think the only thing that’s probably worse than getting your photo taken, is taking one of yourself for a blog post! So I tell myself to be so grateful that I have a friend who likes to help!
I adore introspective cranes, so I had to snap the one above at the Woodlands Waterway! He was just chillin.
Maybe it’s not terribly artsy, however, there is nothing that brings me more joy than to see Jazzy when she’s happy. Nothing makes her happier than to be going somewhere in her “Jazzy Purse.” She goes crazy when you get it out, and on this day she got to go to the local Farmer’s Market for berry picking. I especially love the fact that my husband is man enough to carry a polka dot Jazzy bag! Love this shot!
And in closing…yes…it’s an Old Town Spring shot. It’s literally just a few minutes from where we live and we love it. There are so many places there that I’ve not yet been to, like a wine tasting place, the dog bakery, tons of dress shops or garden places! It’s my happy place!
And those are my Six Shots for July!
