I woke up this morning to little boys in my face, whispering “Happy Mother’s Day mommy, we have some presents for you!”, and the smell of pancakes downstairs. I smiled because the past week was so busy and I feel like I have hardly seen those little guys! I snuggled them close, put my slippers on and went downstairs for the excitement. I was also remember mornings, from years ago, when my own brothers and sisters would get everything ready for my mom. Then I ate my pancakes, opened my home made gifts from my boys, and laughed as my two year old chattered in the background saying “where’s MY presents?”…..ahhhh the innocence of a child
I read this quote about mothers this morning and loved it. I felt like it was something that inspired me a little more:
“The whole process of raising a family is one of perfecting our own lives. That which we transmit consciously and unconsciously to our children in their rearing in the home and in the community must be the best within us.” Henry D. Moyle
I want to say thank you to my mom, grandma’s and mother in law today. These women certainly are examples to me. And to all my friends out there who are mother’s, I hope you have a special day!
Now……..on to posting about my Project 52. I’m just going to catch up where I left off. Let’s forget the- oh…..about 10 weeks that I haven’t posted. We’re catching up with week 6 and it’s Macro. I had a friend on a forum post some images from some macro filters that she bought for her 50mm lens. I’ve always admired some really great close up shots of things but was a little intimidated of it all. Well I bought these Tiffen filters at Adorama, got my 50mm lens in the mail this week. This morning I went out in my yard and here’s my results with the +4 filter. These are my “Adrienne inspired macro shots”, and my Project 52 Week 6 results!and flowers always remind me of mother’s so it seemed fitting to post together, enjoy………Week 7 is going to be COLOR
