A Photo A Day: Week 14

What a group of completely mediocre pictures! I blame it completely on the weather we have been having. It is just not right to repeatedly have snow in April!

Day 92
April 2: Dyeing Easter Eggs is quite the experience when you are trying to help two boys AND take pictures at the same time. I finally gave up and just enjoyed doing it with them.

Day 93
April 3: It was a busy day! We had our Easter egg hunt and made and delivered these Easter basket cupcakes. Aren't they cute?

Day 94

April 4: Seriously... SNOW on Easter Sunday. What is up with that? I also can't believe that this is one of my better pictures from this day... what is up with that?!

Day 95
April 5: I call this picture "Blossoms Popping-- Silly Apricot Tree!". Why is my apricot tree blooming? Hasn't it been out in the kind of weather we are having? Frost will probably kill all our apricots again this year... *sigh*

Day 96
April 6: I call this one "Told You So- Silly Apricot Tree!". My poor flowers! All stiff and cold because it snowed... again.

Day 97
April 7: Today the clouds finally blew away! I think Mount Timpanogos looks especially lovely all white against the blue sky. (Hooray! Blue sky!)

Day 98
April 8: This is the only picture this week that I am in love with. For weeks Eli has been making this face whenever he gets in trouble or doesn't get his way. This morning after he got in trouble for coloring on the walls with crayon, I finally caught it!

    I'm in complete agreement about the weather, but not about your mediocrity -- your eye is too good to produce mediocre images. Especially that last one -- what a face!

    LOVE the Eli face. Talk about expressive!

    The snow this week really wore on me too...it just seems rude to give us a taste of spring and then throw winter back in our faces! Here's to better weather (hopefully) next week!

    We made the same cupcakes :) They are cute. And you are right.. sometimes as much as you want to document the moment it is easier and really more fun to just sit back and enjoy it.


    The sky looks awesome in the Mt. Timp picture

    I thought your blossom picture was beautiful, very clear and the color was great. You probably feel mediocre because of your weather...it stinks to get snow in spring.

    I LOVE pouty face. And that you just accept your easter egg picture (which is lovely) and enjoyed dyeing instead of waiting for the "perfect" picture... That's important too (and I have to remind myself since I like PERFECT ;)

    Oh, those dyed eggs looked really good! We skipped dyeing eggs this year and bought them Nestle Crunch mini-eggs instead. :)
