Photo Friday again already?

So…how did that happen? Wasn’t it just Monday yesterday? Not that I’m complaining, mind you, it’s just that I’m now left wondering what in the world happened to the month of May. It was just May Day last week, right?

Right? No? Okay, fine.

Well, today’s theme is movement. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know I’ve been spending quite a bit of time out in my yard taking pictures of all the pretty things sprouting up from the ground. We’ve had quite a lot of wind lately, too, so getting those great shots has been something of a challenge.

Yesterday, though, I headed out across the driveway and got down in the dirt to get a shot of the pretty green shoots coming up in the neighboring field. I’ve been wanting to do this for a week or so, but I just haven’t made the time for it. Until yesterday, that is, while the boys were occupied with the cat.

It’s the little things. 🙂

Of all the shots I took yesterday morning, this one is probably my favorite, and features tiny little corn stalks waving in the wind.

Photo Friday Blues

That’s right, today’s theme is blue:

Me: What shade of blue?
Seymour: You know, blue.
Me: Yes, but what shade – sky blue? Baby blue? Cerulean? Aquamarine?
Seymour: Just blue! Crayola blue!
(drive to Lowe’s)
Seymour: Yes, I’m looking for some blue paint.
Paint guy: Okay, what shade? We have 887 different varieties of blue.

Sorry, every time I hear the word blue, I recall the time we painted Bubbles’ bedroom. It just never gets old. 😀

But this picture is not of his room. This is my steamy bathroom window one morning this past winter. I just love this picture; it’s got so many shades of color, and the texture in it is just fantastic. It reminds me a bit of all the ice in Frozen (great movie, by the way, and despite the fact that I’ve seen it a zillion times since Easter, I still haven’t tired of it yet).

Anyway, happy Friday! Does anyone have any big plans for the long weekend? Tell me all about them in the comments so I can live vicariously through you – we’re staying home this weekend. And don’t forget to stop by Charnele’s blog and see what she’s got up for this week’s extra-blue Photo Friday!

Photo Friday: Change is in the air!

Today’s Photo Friday theme is change. What with moving and attempting to downsize, I’ve got plenty of change happening in my life at the moment, but I chose to ignore all of that today and instead focus on the changes happening around me. In the space of a month, the life-giving rain has taken us from scenes of death and decay to the blossoms of youth, and it’s a change I relish every year.
