Well…..week 1 is down. I was getting nervous as it was raining almost every single day this week. The one day it wasn’t raining, I was running around doing things like a chicken with it’s head cut off! But I finally got out and got my shots for this week. As I announced on Sunday, this weeks topic was trees, and I posted some inspriration shots of trees that I had taken at a wedding back in September.
When I decided on this topic I knew exactly the tree(s) I wanted to shoot. We moved to Washington almost 5 years ago and ever since we’ve lived here there’s this road that cuts over to another road and my kids termed it “The Tunnel of Trees”. You have to slow down to 20 to go through, there’s a park, and old military airplane, the Scout shop in an old cabin….and lots and lots of trees. In the summer time it truly does look like a tunnel of trees. I still sing the song they made up almost 5 years ago- well mostly it’s a chant of sorts- but my oldest made it up and I still sing it every time we go through; only now my kids roll their eyes at me…..except little Kasen. Since he’s 2.5, he LOVES the song and chants it along with me. Anyway, there’s this ONE particular tree that when the afternoon sunlight hits it JUST right, it just glows. And shamefully for 5 years, I’ve wanted to get pictures there but never have. So I knew this week, that is where I was going to go. The light wasn’t exactly how I wanted it to be, but the moss that grows on these trees are just beautiful to me.
Nathan and I were talking just the other day- while it was raining I might add- about how much we loved it here. While other friends and family of ours were digging out from winter snow, we were driving home to curl up on our couch as the rain poured down, and watch a movie. I’ll gladly take the rain over the snow any day, and I love that it can be the middle of January here and be so green still. Tomorrow I’ll announce Week 2′s topic
Have a great weekend internet!
