Too Busy – Photostory Friday/ Give Me Your Best Shot

Thursday, September 8, 2011 by Lolli 12 Comments

These pictures make me smile. Nature, my kids, and my camera.

I am not enjoying them as much as I should lately.

These pictures are from September 9, 2010. One year ago.

I don’t have any pictures to share this week beyond what I already shared on Wednesday’s post. Not only has it been too wet and rainy to enjoy any outside time, but I have been too busy to be creative about having fun with my kids.

I was hoping that the start of the new school year would lead to a bunch of extra time…or at least time for me to concentrate on my work while the kids were in school so that I could concentrate on THEM the rest of the day.

And still I find myself trying to catch up, empty of creativity….and no new pictures for the week.

So I am posting these pictures from last year in the hopes that I will find time between now and next Friday to enjoy some nature, my kids, and my camera a little more.

What 3 things do you love and wish you could enjoy more often?

Well, if you wouldn’t have told us, we never would have known…so you have to cut yourself a break!

3 things…..hmmm….I’ll have to think on that.

I also love my nature walks with my little ones. They certainly make me happy. And I only worry when those, too, will end. Thanks for hosting!

great shots! what a beautiful girl in that first shot ))

what do I love most: apart from the obvious my kids – I love to travel, create new things and photography, and I think I would like to be able to visit more new places

ALl of your pictures are stunning, but I particularly love the third of the shadow. How unique!? I have a simple point & shoot and I barely know how to use it. But I love taking pics of my kids. Maybe I’ll have to teach myself a few things and join in this meme!

Thanks! Were we on a hike and the shadows were so dark. My shadow was “asking” for a picture.

I SO get this. In the weeks since the kids started school I swear I’ve been LESS productive than I was in the Summer. Here’s hoping we both find our creative mojo again and soon.

What’s the deal?! I am starting to make the change by vowing to take at least one picture with my camera every day for the next week. It’s a start, right?
