Busy

I know, I know, I am always busy here lately!
That is how it is during summer, and I am loving it.

We headed to the pool once again (and probably for the last time) and met some friends.

I am not sure that this guy knows what my face looks like since I so often have my camera turned on him.
He had a blast today, squealing with delight everything the big bucket dumped!


On another note...I figured something out about myself today.

I head out with my camera to take random pictures. Often I am catching a person in the middle of action without planning to take pictures, just being in the right place OR quickly snapping a few to "get by" for the day.
I then head home, load those images and expect them to be top notch.
Well, they keep NOT being that I keep being exceedingly frustrated.
When I take the time to plan and work out shots, they tend to really have zing.

I have to be a little easier on myself and acknowledge that I don't yet have the skill or ability to make every shot in my camera something special.
I have to be okay with the fact that sometimes just capturing a moment is more powerful than doing it to perfection.
Sigh...
that is where I am today.
In the process of growing...and growing isn't, never has been, and never will be easy.
Thanks for stopping by and watering my little weeds of growth, it means a lot to me.
