SPEAKING OF COLOR

speaking of color

do you know what a color means

do you dream in color

do you see the earth in color

prepare

color is about to unfold

THE MAGIC OF A MOMENT

here it is 

reflections once again

the theme

"THE MAGIC OF

 A MOMENT"

noah decided upon photography

the MAGICAL

 MOMENT

for noah was finally

getting his baby chick

(this is the photo that 

noah submitted for his project. 

meet waffles.)

his artist statement

"i have always wanted a baby chick

my cousin jordan was getting married

and liz wanted a petting zoo at their reception.

they hatched some eggs. i asked jordan what he

was going to do with the baby chicks.

i asked if i could have one.

he said yes as long as it was okay with my parents

my parents said it was okay.

THE MAGIC OF 

A MOMENT is when i finally had a 

baby chick of my own.

he is not a baby chick anymore

but he still makes me happy."

(this is the process of how 
his little chick has grown.)

what is your 

MAGICAL MOMENT

MOTHER AND SON

jordan ridge elementary held their

annual MOTHER and SON evening

i love being with noah

i am so happy to be his mom

it was a perfect evening for walking

doughnuts and
apple cider for the refreshments

dancing

the chicken dance

y.m.c.a.

the limbo

and pictures

how do you like the clown nose

one step shy of daring red lipstick
i couldn't get noah to pick a prop

it was another glorious night

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE

WHAT IS WRONG 

WITH THIS PICTURE

3 feet
not 3 1/2 feet?

JUST MY PHOTOS

i love taking PHOTOS

when you carry a camera

you start viewing things through a new set of eyes

there are plenty of PHOTO opportunities

  what do you see when you look through the camera

TO COLOR OR NOT TO COLOR...THAT IS THE QUESTION

yes COLOR

now that is an interesting thing

i pretty much love all COLORS

i love them bright and bold

i love them soft and subtle

 (my sister, chelle,is the master maker of
 meltaway cookies
bake a gazillion
and by the end of the occasion
an empty tray

i will have to post her recipe)

i just plain love COLOR

even a hint of COLOR
can be a real pick me up

unless

your son has filled his water balloons 

with food COLORING

(little splashes of blue
everywhere like the side of our home)

or upon finding a bright green can of spray paint

looks pretty guilty

he just had to paint something

and would have painted more

if not for a questionning adult

then there is the no COLOR

which can be a downer

like when i did wash last week 

without my contact lenses

and poured bleach instead of detergent

bleach...a real COLOR zapper

i tried to rescue as many items of clothing

the moment i discovered the mistake
COLOR woes
("mom, that was my favorite shirt!")

yea for me!
