Jay'me is right

"I hope everyone enjoyed some fresh air and sunlight today. I highly recommend taking your shoes off planting you feet in the grass with your face towards the sky and letting your soul stretch towards the sun. The sun will hug you back today! The air will make you feel alive, I swear!"

Jay'me ended her post yesterday with the above statement. In strange coincidence (the universe screaming) my daughter was doing this exact thing while Jay'me was writing about it.



Yesterday was my daughters 4th birthday. Every year on her actual birthday her dad and I would take her to Main Beach, a local beach on a lake. We would play, take pictures and enjoy the beginnings of spring. Taking special time to remember all the special moments that brought our daughter to life.
Kate and I spent the day at the beach as usual. It was her first birthday since her fathers passing. Instead of devoting all of time to thinking about her birthday, we spent most of it remember wonderful thoughts of my husband.

He was with us yesterday. Giving us just enough glorious sun to enjoy our time at the beach.

I'm really glad that I was shooting in raw for this picture. Harsh, changing lighting conditions made this photo really tough. Being able to recover some of the blown (or lost) detail in the sky during editing really makes the photo a success.

I hope your spending the day reaching toward the sky.
Happy Saturday everyone!

Orange you beautiful

Brandi here, jumping in for Jay'me who is experiencing internet troubles on a day where her English bulldog is giving birth.
The photo is Jay'me's but you get my drivel attached. Sucks to be you.

Like any good friend, I have an inbox full of pictures that Jay'me, Sere and Scott have taken. Not the photos they have for here but the photos that friends share just because. The little snippets of life, if you will.

When Jay'me sent out her distress call I knew I had something that would work. Sere's photo yesterday was all about orange. The calm glow of the sunrise that warms your heart.

I thought this picture of Jay'me's daughter M did exactly that.

Happy, Happy Birthday

Hi all! Brandi here *waves excitedly*
It is 1:21am CST on September 7 2010. That makes it officially Sere's birthday!
Would everyone please join me in helping her celebrate yet another 29th birthday?

I need everyone, yes, that includes you, to drop a little note in the comments and shower Sere with some much deserved birthday love!
I cannot successfully convey what she means to me, believe me I've spent the last several minutes trying and re-trying to do just that.
Sere's soul is like nothing I've ever experienced. You all get to see a little piece of that soul every time she posts a picture.

Gather around kids, it's time to sing Happy Birthday!

"Happy Birthday to you....
