Evening in the Park

Since Piper started walking it seems like we go to a park everyday. She's gotten quite brave and climbs allover the place.

Here are a few shots from tonight's trip to the park.

She loves to spin and get dizzy. We're not sure when she learned the word dizzy but she would lay on the ground and say "dizzeeee" every time she would get off this thing.

She also likes to go down the steepest slide. She went down this slide many times tonight and each time she went down my stomach would do flip flops.

To just think she was afraid to go down her little 2 foot slide at the beginning of the summer.

She also thinks she's a big girl and likes to help the big kids do big kid things.

Yep my little girl is growing up.

Gammy and Baba were here!

We've had a busy last couple of days around here. Josh's parents drove over for a visit and Piper had so much fun. She loved showing off her rock collections, and her favorite parks.

Josh's dad helped him work on our deck ( long story, it seems lately one house DIY project leads to another).

I asked Piper today after they left "What did you do with Gammy and Baba?" and her response was "Play". Here are a few snap shots from their visit.

My Favorite Photo From August.

I can't help but smile every time I look at it.
 

31 photos from August

This month I made an effort to take a photo every day. I have to admit I didn't start out that great, but as the month went on taking a photo became part of my day. I'm hoping to continue taking a photo everyday indefinitely. My plan is to concentrate on taking portraits, working harder to create proper lighting, and work on defining my "style".

I've learned with time the best way to accomplish any photography goal is to take as many photos a possible. Lets hope I can stick to it and in another 30 days I'll have 30 pictures to share.

I Heart the Color White

This week over at I Heart Faces the Challenge is all about the color white. As I was searching through my my photos for this weeks theme I realized that I do not utilize white space enough in my photos. I love how white space looks and I'm going to try to challenge myself to use it more.

Lucky for me both Shayne and her mom were wearing white the day of Shayne's photo shoot. I snapped this at the end Shayne's photo shoot and as you can see by the look on Shayne's face she was ready to be done. I thought it was such a real and touching moment between mother and daughter.

Make sure to head over to I Heart Faces and check out all the other wonderful photos this week!

Playing with my Nook

or as Piper calls it pie pad.

This might explain why my battery seems to die so fast.

Falls Park

Yesterday Josh had some paper work to fill out at the airport so I asked him if he could drop Piper and I off at Falls Park and then come meet up with us when he was done. I was planning on going for a nice walk with Piper but instead she wanted walk and have me follow her.

It was fun watching her walk up and down all the paths. She's getting to be quite independent.





I did somehow manage to drop my lens cap off the top of the tower. Luckily it bounced off the roof of the visitors center so it didn't brake when it hit the pavement below. Josh was also kind enough to go back down and find it for me. I can't believe it's still in one piece. I couldn't even find a chip on it.
