30 Minutes In the Life ~ September

Each month a group of photographers have gotten together to form a blog circle "30 Minutes in the Life". I can't speak for everyone, but for me this is a chance to for me show you the beauty in my every day life through my eyes.  Be sure to check out our facebook page here, and our 30 Minutes in the Life blog page here.

This month I decided to share 30 minutes of an end of summer evening. The weather was simply beautiful and we went to the playground out behind our home.  The light was absolutely perfect. My husband and boys were playing football, while my youngest son and daughter were making wishes on dandelions and playing on the playground.  Mariah, my daughter has especially been wanting to get in to gymnastics recently. She has been wanting to try out some back flips on the monkey bars. So she climbed to top and gained enough nerve to try it out.  She nailed it!  I was so happy to capture it on her first try when she got it perfect.  Next up in our circle is the very talented Cindy Cavanagh from Albury, in Australia. Click here to see 30 minutes of her life and follow along through the rest of our circle.




















Until next time... karen

  7. Looks like they had a fun time outside. I love the picture of your daughter after she has blown the dandelion - just gorgeous, and the one of your son blowing - such concentration. Great pictures.
