So today on my way home I noticed this cute frog riding his bike on their lawn. I thought he was so cute!!! I took my camera and walked down the road to their house only to find them out in the backyard!!!!!!!!
I tried to sneak a shot so I didn't look too much like a stalker. I ended up with this shot, which is out of focus and a bit dark. I ran all the way home, embarrassed

Media_httpmedia365pro_ajdut

Five and a half years ago my daughter was diagnosed with a rare cancer called Chondrosarcoma. There is no cure, only surgery removing the top part of her hip bone would take care of it. She spent quite a bit a time in a wheelchair. Then, this past winter my husband suffered three strokes. This left him numb on one side of his body that he continues to recover from. He still doesn't have all the feeling back in his side. Thankfully, in both cases we have been left with an empty wheelchair. Our bodies heal and recover and I am grateful that we had the wheelchair temporarily in both cases... but I am also thankful they were not a permanent piece of our lives.

This is a shot of my daughters guitar. She got it several years ago. It is missing a string, but she loves it and will play it again once we can get the string fixed.

My son is all dressed up in his Redskin gear ready to watch the NFL draft. He is a HUGE fan and we are so excited to be picking Robert Griffin III this year. It's time for a Redskins turn around.

The Roses on my rose bushes in front of my house have finally opened up. They will be around until fall. I really love tending to them and they greet me every day.

My kids bless me every night. With my commute I am gone from my house from 6 am until 6:30 pm. This simple act takes a lot of pressure from me and allows me to enjoy my evening and get my photo of the day put up. Thanks kids!!!

Today we had a rare treat of Sunday dinner at my mom's house. The dinner was really fantastic and a good time was had by all.

All week I have been taking photos with my different camera lenses. I thought I would show you all of them up close. The ones in the back are my macro and zoom lenses, the ones up front are my kit and wide angle lenses.

My co-worker (and good friend) Vikki has a Koala collection on her desk. She has collected Koalas for at least twenty years. The ones she has at work are a small sample of what she has at home. Whenever I see a Koala I think of her.

Today I am showing off my pill collection. This was taken with my iPhone. I am finding my iPhone has become my most used camera. It is always with me and able to capture a really great photo most of the time. Now, if I can just get rid of my daily pills...

This is my dog Poppy. She smiled real pretty for me today so I could show you my kit lens. This lens was on the camera when I bought it. It is good for very basic shots and some wide angle stuff. I use this lens the least of all my lenses.

Media_httpmedia365pro_fotda

For this butterfly shot I used my 55-200mm 1:4-5:6 zoom lens. I use this lens when I want to get nature shots without scaring away the creatures. I got this lens free when I got my camera as a package deal. I love this lens and have used it more than any other lens.

I realized I have a bit of a glass collection. This is a photo of my hutch taken with my wide angle lens. I like my 35mm. It allows a lot more light in, and opens up wide enough to get some good landscape photos.

This week our group is doing collections. The only thing I collect is camera lenses. So today I took a picture with my macro lens. I love this caterpillar I found in my yard. It looks like he is getting ready to take off and fly but hasn't gotten his wings yet.

This is a neighborhood sign. I like the diamonds, circles, and rectangles.

Media_httpmedia365pro_ckedm

Fourteen years ago, this beautiful baby boy was placed in my arms after 36 hours of labor. He was only there a moment... then whisked away from me. The next time I saw him he was under a breathing mask struggling to breath. Tubes came out of his body in various places.
The doctors explained to me that he wasn't getting enough oxygen. His lungs were not developed. The next morning I went to check on him and they were getting him ready to go on a helicoptor to another hospital who could handle his breathing issues better.
It was a week before he could be in my arms again. Today, he is 14 and from the sounds of cheering in his room it sounds as if he is getting his first girlfriend too.... He is a momma's boy through and through... and he is the shape of my heart. Happy Birthday Caleb!
