Hush

Hush, 

Word promt of the day. Hush.
How do you get a 7 year old to be quiet? The only way I have found is to get them to go to sleep.
Even then, the silence is temporary.

Full Bodied

Full Bodied, 

Word Prompt of the day for Creative Boot camp was full bodied. I had a hard time coming up with something for this, but think in the end a Guiness is a truly full bodied drink.  Thanks for leaving one in the fridge, Russ.

Drizzle

Drizzle, 

We have gotten rain it seems every day for the last week or so. Good for the garden and flowers, but bad if you don't like weeds. They are everywhere.....well, growing like weeds. Today's word prompt is drizzle. Luckily I was out taking pictures of the flowers in the rain yesterday. So maybe I can catch up on yesterday's assingment today. Take Care everyone!

Fly

I went to bed without having had any time to work on Creative Boot Camp and the word prompt of the day Fly. I had hoped to get out to try to photograph some of our fine feathered friends earlier in the day, but time got away from me. Then, as it some times happens when you have unfinished business, I woke up in the middle of the night and could not go back to sleep. Some times moving to the recliner helps, so I tried that, but the clock was ticking so loudly, I could not get back to sleep. Then it hit me. Time flies by even when you can't sleep. This is a picture of the clock that was keeping me awake last night.

On a side note we are all so excited that Ben learned to ride his ride on toy forward this weekend.  It only took about ten minutes for him to get the hang of it.  I think the trick was that he had gotten on all by himself and was happily going along backwards, instead of us trying to put him on, and showing him.  It made all the difference in the world.  Did I mention that he has a small stubborn streak?  I did not get any pictures yet, but will try to get some soon.  His PT will be so excited. 

Fluid

Fluid, .

I'm trying to catch up on posting some of my pictures from Creative Boot Camp. The word for this day was fluid. I was planning to go outside while Ben was taking his nap, and try to find a creative way to photograph water. Then while making omelets for lunch, it hit me how fluid the eggs were. So I quick snapped a picture of them before I scrambled them up. I was surprised at how the picture turned out. I liked it enough that I did not bother going out during nap to try to take any others.

Grow

The word of the day for Creativity Boot Camp is Grow. (OK it is really not today's word, but I am a few days behind). Ben came out of the bedroom trying to wear my shoe. It was really cute and he was doing a good job of trying to walk in my big shoes. He is really growing up, so this is my picture of grow.

Creative Boot Camp Assignment - Multi Layered

Old House Siding, originally uploaded by awilley1.

I finally got a shot I liked for the multi-layerd assignment for Creative Boot Camp. This photo was taken looking up at the siding on what used to be an old house dating back to the 1900's on my family farm. The house was split in half and each half was used as a shed many years ago. Only the front half of the house remains. Inside the old "kitchen" there is still wallpaper on the walls.
