everyday memories

It’s the everyday moments that strike a chord with me and that why I’ve loved this month's One Word Project.

I’ve been observing.....

Waiting, swimming, laughter, watching, television.

The toys, realities, and supermarket trips.

Your bed, your sink, hanging out, the kisses, hugs, and more hugs.

Your sofa, the sharing, being with friends, painting, and drawing.

I love capturing everyday memories also. Recently, I started a series of family portraits with our two boys, just us doing the everyday things, like going to the supermarket, the library, wheels, hanging in the park.  They are our real life, our everyday and something I will treasure and look back on in the future.

Why don’t you try this today, put down your camera where ever you are, doing whatever, with whoever. Using your timer or remote, capture “your everyday”..... a moment in your day and create a memory. We’d love to see it as we send off the month of everyday and welcome a brand new word tomorrow.

welcome to such an amazing and inspiring group of talented women.

i've seen your photos featured here often, so i know you will be a perfect addition to s.s.!

i did not do it today, but about a week and a half ago, i did just that. i set my camera down right where i was... in my driveway. i set it on the hood of the car {thus the crooked shot} to take a picture of myself on my vintage bike that i have plans to restore. i saw it there in front of the old garage door and thought it would make for an interesting photo. hopefully soon, that bike will be a part of my everyday.

I really must do this more often... you're inspiring me, as usual. Just not today. Today I am relishing in my role as Swamp Thing. Again. I don't dare blighten my camera with it. :)

I"m so happy you've joined us, Xanthe. Wonderful!
