I am enjoying this weekend with my family, relaxing ,baking ,eating, and seeing the first walls of our new home stand-up - sooo exciting! I am  looking forward to working on my own pictures next week , so many pretty things to show you.

life for a Mom teens these days involves watching a LOT of Youtube. i am constantly being called to the computer " Mom come look at this" many times it is ridiculous stuff ( two min of your life you will never get back!) , but there are also amazing sights from around the world, talented people, movie trailers, music 

 videos . with Christian ,who is away  at college, it was usually music. he still sends me links on Facebook , 

"check this out" the last couple of times they made me cry, i guess i am really missing him these days.

this morning this was on his Facebook  ,an artist we both love , someone i actually discover, the brother of one of my Flickr friends, hope enjoy.

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you , but he will make a fool of himself too.
Samuel Butler

to say that we are a bookish family would be an understatement. the library is always calling regarding books that we have special ordered. when we were on our vacation i saw a library shot in Fossil that i loved so today Bronte` and i did an impromptu photo shoot during our trip to the library to celebrate her new glasses.

summer goodness

Amazing friends; summer nights;

Chocolate ice cream; mud slide fights;

Half the summer is gone already

So lets spend the rest of it; slow and steady.

this is what the judge said...

" there is an edginess to this image that grabbed and held my attention.This quirky almost dark quality is enhanced by the B&W treatment,beautiful side-lighting,and placement of the subject in a natural environment that only reveals his upper body.The scene actually reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock's early B&W movies( Anthony Perkins in  psycho) The title and that stare create a storyline that has a rebellious nature."

.... WOW!
