We love sitting in our backyard. Unfortunately, it only looks good in very carefully cropped photos. Lots of trees, which is nice for shade, but not for grass growth. And two dogs who like to dig holes.
So this year, we decided that even though it looks like crap, we would enjoy it anyway. So we got some citronella torches and cleaned up the patio table & chairs. So now we cook out every chance we get, sit out on the patio and watch the sun set and just overlook the weeds and the bare dirt.
And … it looks pretty cool through a glass of Chardonnay. I snapped this pic tonight with my iPhone -
I'm made fun of too! All the time. Especially when they get to be teenagers and everything you do is lame. I remind them that, although they do complain at the time, they also later ask for the picture.
After a while, they stop complaining and just accept it as a fact of life with me.
And there is never I picture I've taken that I regret. It's easy to delete, but you can never go back and capture the moment.
Some of the most precious shots I have are just random ones I took while they were just hanging out.
Keep snapping. They will thank you one day.
Being pregnant and hormonial, it's only obvious I just teared up while reading this post. My favorite part is :
“Take a million pictures, even when it seems silly. You’ll be glad when you look back at them and you won’t remember how much they complained.”
I'm made fun of for how many photos I take of Chloe, but I don't care. I want to remember her in ever stage of development!
