365 Project- Day 10

Just a simple picture of bath time today.

A Simple Saturday

This afternoon Kiddo and I took a walk out in the back yard, where I was hoping to practice with my new camera.  I bundled him into the Moby-wrap and headed out, where my first sight was...

weeds growing out of a pile of compost that had somehow made its way to the back half of my drive... I'm sorta confused on this one.

Continuing on...

My wind-blown fence

 For these next two, it's the same view but the pictures were taken with two different camera settings.  The first one seems to be a more realistic representation of the actual colors, but I prefer the richer color of the second, which was taken with a flash.  Which do you prefer?

With the following, I played with focus.

This one was an unexpected view I saw in the camera window, but it really drew me in.

A rose.  It took me many, many tries to get good focus on this one, first because Kiddo was shifting around in his Moby (for the record, baby-wearing and photographing don't mix very well), and second because every time I'd get a clear image in the camera window, the breeze would pick up just enough to sway the flower.  But I'm quite pleased with this one.

One of the beautiful, old trees in my back yard.  The deep fall colors that reflect the setting sun just struck a chord in me.  

After much fighting with Kiddo to remain still enough to allow me to take pictures, I finally got annoyed and set him down on the ground.  His face screwed up like he was about to howl for a moment, then he realized that it was actually pretty neat down there.  So, of course, he became the subject for the last of my photos.

What did you do with your Saturday?

It's Been A While!

But now that things are settling down some, I'll hopefully be back and blogging at least a few times a week.  Adrian is 13 weeks old, and the delight of my life. Unfortunately, now that the pregnancy hormones are out of my system, my migraines are back with a vengeance, which really puts a dampener on things.  And, as well, Kiddo has taken the room which used to be my creative space, so now my creativity is even more limited by time, money, and space than it was before.  So please bear with me since my blog isn't as professional and creatively focused as was originally intended.  I leave you with, of course, a few pics of my darling himself.  Love to you all!

Sharing a Lap

Adrian

My son has finally arrived!  He's almost two weeks old now, and already I've forgotten what life was like before he was around.  Exhaustion is now my constant companion, thus my lack of posts recently.  Here are a few pictures, though, to satisfy my need to show off my little darling!

WHAT!?

Daddy Love

Well

It occurs to me that it's been quite some time since my last post. This is largely due to pregnancy complications, hospital visits, and forced bed rest, none of which are terribly conducive to creativity of any sort.  So considering all options, most of which end in ill-health, my midwife has decided that medical induction of labor is necessary, to take place tomorrow morning.  We had hoped to go all natural and skip drugs of any sort, but no such luck.  But I'd far rather have drugs and a healthy son than be stubborn and possibly harm him.

So Adrian will be my Treasure this Tuesday, and no doubt many, many pictures will be posted in the near future.

I'll leave you with one of my favorite "before" pictures.
