Scavenger Hunt Sunday +Song-ography {08.25.13}

Back to School

As my kids step into a new school year, I love to take a picture of the three of them and their new school shoes. We went shoe shopping this week for my kindergartener, who starts school on Tuesday, so here is our "official" back to school shoes picture for the year.

This week was my oldest boy's first day of second grade. So far he LOVES school! Every day he comes home and tells me how much fun he has at school and how much he loves his teacher, his classmates, reading, math and pretty much everything!

Writing Utensil {Colored Pencil Kaleidoscope}

My kids love to color and draw with colored pencils. Though they still use crayons occasionally, it appears we have "graduated" to colored pencils.

Favorite Subject {Bugs and Blooms}

Since my son's favorite subject is "all of them", I decided to show you one of my favorite things to photograph. In case you haven't noticed, I am particularly fond of taking picture of flowers and insects, usually at the same time. I love the challenge of macro photography, and nothing is more challenging than a moving subject!

Lunch {Box}

You may have noticed that I am not a food photographer. I appreciate a lovely photo of delicious food, but can never seem to get mine to turn out like I want them to. So here is a cute little Strawberry Shortcake lunchbox. At our house we use lunchboxes to carry around toys, rather than food!

Recreation

This weekend was the "Fathers and Sons" camp out. My boys got to go camping with Daddy by themselves. They also got to hang out with a few of their friends and their fathers. They had SO much fun. My hubby sent me this cute picture of our "sleepyheads" in the tent this morning and I thought it was adorable!

Song-ography

And now on to this week's Song-ography. The song is Summer Wind by Frank Sinatra.

This shot is my best attempt at "summer wind blowin' in from across the sea". This is a picture from our visit to Bear Lake this summer. I couldn't get over the awesome color of the water!

Here is another of an "umbrella sky" from a few years ago when we visited the Great Salt Lake.

Finally, I had to include this cute picture of my little girl at the beach. Not because it has anything to do with the song particularly, (except that she is now sitting alone, the summer wind took her beach buddy away) but because I think she is so darn cute.

I am going to miss the lazy days of summer. We had a glorious time!
