A Moment a Day...

a photo blog by Brandy Young

Always catching up…

But I think I like it that way…It’s a lot more fun to see a weeks worth of pics in a post than a day at a time. Maybe a new blog title is in order…Weekly moments… ;) too bad I own the amomentaday.com domain. :) It’s still daily so it still fits…

Day 210…

July 29…

Day 209…Mmmmmm…I made apple cobbler this day. It was yummy! Not the best apples for it but it’s what we had. I keep telling everyone to remind never to buy Red Delicious apples ever again. Definitely not my favorite, or anyone else in this house for that matter.

sixty-four colors ~ golden rod…Not my best sixty-four shot…but sometimes this whole 64, 52.5, 365 business just gets old I don’t feel like putting in the effort. :/

Day 208…So the new town library is not he prettiest building you’ll ever see…but it makes for some neat architectural shots.

Day 207…Watch out!! My daughter was quite worried it was going to get me if I got too close!

Week #31…Season ~ Summer…A more accurate summer picture right now would have been a shot of all the dark clouds that have been covering the valley for the last couple weeks. Or the wonderful rain that those clouds bring. Or the lightning that always accompanies those! I love the summer monsoons! But I also have a fascination with these strange plants you see popping up all over! The Agave americana…or better known as the Century Plant. They are pretty cool!

Day 206…A nice crisp nectarine is my favorite!

July 24/25…

Day 205…A close up of the above Century Plant…

July 23…

Day 204…I was out taking pictures of the bees in this bush in our back yard and I realizes there were several bees of another type hiding out in the bush that I had totally over looked! And further evidence of my lack of observance…I had no idea that little crab spider was hiding out right in front of me too! Not until I started looking at the pics on my computer.

Days 200-203 of 365…

Day 203…A real start to the summer monsoons! I love this time of year!

Day 202…I took the kids to the park closest to us…it’s small but there is a lot of room to run! And that’s really all they need, right!?

Day 201…Ants are NOT an easy photographic subject! They were far too busy to stop and pose for me! ;)

Day 200…Two night in a row this week we found a tarantula on the wall outside. They were pretty small and could have been the same one both times. We want to catch one and keep it as a pet now!

Days 193 – 199…

Day 199…I would see these little guys in Washington from time to time but I rarely had my macro lens around. I love taking pics of them!

Day 198…My husband was out in the backyard yesterday and told I should go out and take pics of the big bumble bees! I love their fuzzy bodies!

Day 197…Abandoned…the boys took baseball stuff to play with at the park. It was quickly abandoned…

Day 196…A thank you…for the beautiful seaglass and shells…

Day 195…Rain! You would think after living in Washington for 11 months we would be sick of rain! Nope…the girls and I quite enjoyed it!

Day 194…Newly constructed t-ball fields and a soccer field at one of our favorite parks. The giant sports balls are pretty cool!

Day 193…My initials used to be so easy to type…heh…

WTJ!!

I went a little crazy! I hadn’t done any wreckage for awhile…so I had to make up for it!

“I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again”

My daughter “sold” a bunch of crazy name strips…so they get to live in my journal…

Finally! I have had this page started for a LONG time. And I decided it was time to finish it! I did add some confetti to is after taking this pic but it’s not a whole lot different.

Lots of four-letter words! Good ones…no potty words here…well there is some crap. ROFL!

Remnants of the LOST page…

Writing with the pen in your mouth is not something I recommend…

I highly recommend writing backwards though! Lots of fun!

Not so good with the left hand…
