Butterbees and Bumbleflies

Animal

I couldn’t decide exactly how I wanted to do this picture, but I knew that I wanted it to be something to do with Becca’s stuffed animals… so when she started loading them onto her little push-cart, it was just too perfect!  She’s so proud that she can walk her little cart around now – and she left a trail of stuffed animals in her wake as they would fall off the sides!  These few survived the ride!  So, you’ve got there an elephant, a teddy bear, a bunny rabbit, a puppy dog, and the bluish purple foot toward the bottom is another bunny rabbit.  This baby girl has not only gotten her own special stuffed animals, but inherited lots of mommy and daddy’s stuffed animals from when we were kids!

Paper

Took my girl on a Wal-mart run this morning… and we had to run through the supply area to get a shot of construction paper stacked up… love the rainbow of colors!! 🙂

Jewelry

I didn’t used to be a bracelet wearer.  Then something changed.  I’m not sure what it was, but maybe something about my sweet husband getting me this angel bracelet from James Avery for Christmas 2011 – to watch over me and our unborn baby.  Then, I started my charm bracelet Christmas 2012, and it’s now complete!  Each charm has special meaning in my life, and these two bracelets have become my two favorite pieces of jewelry (other than my wedding rings, of course! 🙂

Trees

This morning I couldn’t quite decide what trees to photograph. Should I go on the upstairs deck to shoot the valley? Take a walk on our nature trail? Shoot the view from our bedroom window? But instead, I decided to in a small way pay hommage to my little girl- by taking a picture of her favorite clump of trees- the ones in the front yard where her swing hangs. Many a wonderful day has been passed swinging in that swing, attached to those strong, sturdy branches- sheltered from the hot sun by their bold, green leaves. So for their loyalty to my girl, these trees got selected. 🙂

Clock

I often tease Cody about his variety of watches for various purposes, but in all honesty, I think each one is pretty cool… and his dive watch is my favorite.  So I went this morning and took pictures of our really cool grandfather clock, but I just wasn’t pleased with them… and then I thought of his watches, and I think this shot turned out pretty cool.
