My favorite photos of the past seven days (with a bit of background thrown in), beginning with Friday, Feb. 1.
Friday
Daffodils starting to re-appear all over town. They make me happy.
Saturday
The late afternoon sunshine is staying around longer into the evenings, making our little kitchen glow.
Superbowl Sunday
Meghan came home for the game, but still had international relations homework to finish. But she got it done in time for the game. We all had fun that night.
Monday
Wild rose leaves in the glow of the sunset.
Tuesday
Coming home from Sam’s Club, I spotted my buddy, the red-tailed hawk. I really wish he’d sit long enough for me to take his portrait.
Wednesday
We had sprinkles at sunset.
Thursday.
Yes, Thursday. I did not pick up my camera all day that day. Instead, I had to go to the doctor’s office about some knee pain I’ve been having. Then I had to pick up Joey from his school’s nurse’s office and fill a prescription for the ear infection he had come down with. And of course, I had to sit on the couch next to him while he cuddled under blankets, watching “The Big Bang Theory” , to make him feel better, y’know. And then it poured down rain. And I had to wash the fresh fruit I had bought at Sam’s while I was waiting for his medicine to be ready.
So, yeah. No Thursday photo.
Friday
Eagle Watch Nature Preserve. Crowded with humans, but skies empty save for this beautiful red-tailed hawk.
Love them all, Kate.
You know what I love about your photos? They make me feel as though I am along with you in the experience. They speak.
Thanks, Tina. That means a lot. It’s exactly what I’m trying to achieve with my photography, I want to show people the world and all the magic in it the way I see it. : )
A beautiful weeks worth of images! Hope your son is feeling better!
Thank you. I think that prescription is beginning to kick in finally. Hope you’re doing okay with all that snow. I can’t wait to see the photos you take! Stay warm.
These are all beautiful, but my personal favorite is the daffodils. :) I love those, but we’re still waiting for them here – in the meantime we’re replacing them with snow, lots and lots of snow… Thanks for sharing these to hold us through the blizzard! :)
I’ve decided that I’m just going to have to live winter and play in the snow vicariously through you and all my other East Coaster blog buddies. Please throw a snowball for us stuck in the South!
I threw several snowballs and even made a couple of snow angels! How does that sound? :)
Thank you! Sounds perfect! : )
Daffodils equal sunshine and smiles. Yes, always. Great weekly photos!
I agree! I’m so close to having a couple of my own bloom in my back gardens. I kinda want them to bloom, but I also know that we’re still in the midst of winter and anything can happen. : )
Thank you for taking us with you :-)
Thank you for coming along!
It is always fun :-)
Thank you! : )
Gorgeous! How’s the knee? What did the doctor think/suggest?
Well, it looks like there may actually be something wrong with it. I’m going to an orthopedist on the 18th for x-rays and his opinion, but it looks like either a torn ligament or something has torn off and is floating around the knee cap and the joint (where the most of the pain is right now). My doctor about fell off her stool when she began examining my knee and heard all the snap, crackle, pop! sounds coming from it: “You’re too young to have a knee that sounds like this!” Made me laugh. : )
Oh my goodness, daffodils in February! What a sight! Especially for those of us seeing nothing but white right now, lol! Less than a year from now, I could have a photo of a correctly-spelled-Meghan home from college too. I love seeing yours – she’s lovely. Those red-tailed hawks do make wonderful photo subjects. Yours are gorgeous. Just once, I had one sit still long enough on a low enough branch for a half-way decent portrait. I’ll see if I can find it for you.
Can you believe that I said the SAME thing to my husband just last night when we were going out to get dinner? Can you believe that our girls will be home in such a short time? I can’t wait!
How’s all that snow? Is it still snowing? Do you still have power? Be careful, but also be sure to have fun and play in it, too.
Just did a quick blog post about all the snow. We made it through pretty much unscathed around here, thankfully.
Kate, I have been here several times since you’ve changed your blog design, and each time I forget to tell you how much I love it, so…
It is just fantastic!! Simple, clean, perfect!
What a wonderful series of photographs. I think my favorite is the one of Meghan. You can almost feel just how hard she is working.
I hope you are having a great weekend!
