play

Alice : My cousins are crazy ! This is how they have fun : going down on an old rusty bike and jumping  on some wooden planks, straight into the river, trying to make the best figure. We were all watching them, cheering them up and praying that nobody would get hurt.

 Harmony: With the school strike, we have started to home school the boys until they can go back to school. We want to make sure play is part of their days and that includes a family field trip to pick apples.

 Gabi: they went down and down and down again, laughing all the time. It was a pure joy to watch them having fun together.

Krystal: This is a picture of my didgeridoo. I recently found one at a local store and have been practicing. It is definitely harder than it looks! I love the design on this one as it reminds me of outer space!

habit

Krystal:  A habit I have developed lately is spending my Saturday and Sundays at the coffee shop. I am drinking a hot tea or mocha with my lap top plugged in and my notebook close by. I am a fan of this habit.

 Harmony: I've fallen out of the habit of taking everyday pictures like this one. Getting back to it feels right.

liquid

Krystal: Took this photo in Diamond Lake, Oregon. The colors were beautiful that actually looked better in my camera than in real life.

 

Harmony:  Having fun on vacation with our underwater camera. So many giggles from these pictures!

summer is here

Hi everyone,

summer is in full swing and we hope that you are all enjoying the perfect weather as much as we do over here in Canada.

We are taking a short summer break for the rest of July. Please check back in mid-August for new prompts and inspiration.

Gabi

low

Alice : This weekend my cousin Emilie celebrated her 30th birthday and she offered us a concert. She was stunning on stage,  a real lady ! The light was low and i always have a hard time taking good photos in such conditions. I decided to have fun with my camera instead of taking the best pictures. I love this silhouette picture of her, and i think we recognize her well even if we can't see her face.

 Gabi: so far it's the low branches who carry the weight of those little tomatoes. In a few weeks the plants will get bigger and stronger and will bring us beautiful red tomatoes. I can barely wait.

sun flare

Alice : I love that time of year when you can stay outside longer and that the light is warm until late into the evening. This is one of the duck family living in the little canal nearby my house. The other day, with some friends we decided it would be nice to have a picnic on the shore.

 Harmony: I took a picture of a traditional sun flare today but decided a picture of my son watering my sunflowers warmed my heart more than the sun today.

 Gabi: I have so many beautiful photos of sun flare from the past but somehow this week I wasn't able to snap a picture which would represent the idea I had in my mind. I guess this last glimpse of daily sunlight captured through our living-room window would have to make it.

strength

Gabi: my race is getting closer and that means that I have to pull long training rides over 100km. During these rides I've learned so much about myself - that I can dig deeper than I would ever imagine, that I'm much stronger than I've thought and that pain is temporally but pride is forever.

 Harmony: I did not feel strong at all yesterday. It was a frustrating work day, mommy day, and in general I am glad it is behind me. Strength today is starting anew and making it better than before.
