Scenes From My Day

The outdoors can be so dirty.  Dusting ensued.

This lucky spider survived the dusting.

Its web hangs perilously on the oleander, which is no longer dusty.

    Are you SURE you are just shooting with a point-and-shoot? I would love to know which you are using. The colors are brilliant and it does beautiful depth of field work. NICE. LOOOOOOOOOVE the spider shot and I can’t wait to show Dacey when she wakes up. She loves/hates spiders. She’ll love this!

    I just had opportunity to come across your darling little blog last week and simply had to tell what a delightful read your blog is. My husband and I are also apartment dwellers and several of the lovely ideas you have written about are projects we are going to be trying soon. I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I had never even thought of doing an outdoor clothesline in our apt until I came across your pictures! Thank you for sharing the teeny glimpses into your precious family’s life! Oh, and happy mother’s day! :o )

    Thanks Megan – I’ve had this point and shoot Canon Powershot A610 for a couple of years. I like that I can stick it in my purse, but it really needs a lot of natural light for it to do well. That’s why almost all of my pictures are outside, or next to a big window. We’re shopping for an SLR so I can do indoor pictures too.

    Amy – what a kind, cheerful note. Thank you! I am glad to get to visit your blog too. I see you have written all kinds of helpful information, and the posts on Celiac are so timely for my family right now! They are exactly what I have been wanting to find. – Rachel
