flowers, family, fun

Since I have been taking so many pictures lately...ya know, because of the new camera, I have discovered that I really love taking pictures of things that don't move flowers. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy capturing the beauty that is my children and that is obvious by most posts...but the little suckers just won't be still. Even when I'm trying to catch them just being natural, it's like they have a sensor that says move..move quickly...oh man. I'm working on figuring out all the cool features that might help me with that...but right now I have some new pictures to share.
These are from the neighborhood elementary school playground...and their fabulous flower garden.

These pictures are some flowers in my yard. I was trying different times of day to see how the light would change the look.

We had a nice weekend. There were a few thunderstorms, new playground fun, nice evening walks, good progress on the to-do list, and just plain ol' quality family time. Hope your weekend was just as nice.
