Scavenger Hunt Sunday +Song-ography {08.11.13}

Family {Fun}

Going to the beach was one of the items on my bucket list for the summer. The nearest decent beach is at Bear Lake, which is several hours away. So this week I took the kids to visit my sister in Logan and we took a trip to Bear Lake play at the beach. It was a wonderful day and the kids had SO much fun.

Grass{hopper}

I found this not-so-little guy hanging out in my sister's flower bed. Though my sister isn't too happy she has grasshoppers, I new he would be perfect for this prompt.

Silly {Cousins}

Miss Aubrey is my only girl, and she is lucky enough to have a cousin her age. They were so cute playing together!

Half {Buried}

Here are my boys playing at the beach. Eli is half-buried in the sand, making a drip-sand castle on his legs. Jonah is about half done with his enormous sand castle complex.

Bow{tique}

Did I mention that my sister has four daughters? So needless to say, there were plenty of bows to be found at her house!

Song-ography

This week's song was "Both Sides, Now" by Joni Mitchell, which I will admit I was not familiar with at all. So at first I was going to post just these two cloud pics.

Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way



I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Can you believe these clouds were taken at the same time, just different parts of the sky?

As I was looking through my pictures, I came across this picture that I had to include:

Both Sides, Now #2

I've looked at life from both sides now

From up and down and still somehow

It's life's illusions I recall

I really don't know life at all.

Where we were camping last weekend I was captivated by the fields full of butterflies. I probably spent at least an hour taking pictures of butterflies and got some really nice ones. I thought this one fit the song pretty well because it isn't too often you see both sides of a butterfly at the same time. Not only that, but caterpillars/butterflies truly do see both sides of life. They spend their early life as a caterpillar and then get to experience being a butterfly. Amazing!
