Focal Point

It's amazing to me how it felt like a weight was lifted when I wrote the first post on this blog.  The physical urge I was feeling to get thoughts out of my mind has lessened, but there are still moments where I think about something and want to write it and put words to the thoughts.  Of course, most of the moments seem to happen when I am not near a computer or able to write something on my phone and when I return home life happens.  Life, spouse, children, craziness, wonderfulness.

I was not sure when I created this blog what I would do with it, what I would share, what I would write about.  I still am not in a place to say that this blog will be ___________.  If anyone would like to fill that blank in for, have at it!  Decision making is not always my strength!

But, I have decided one thing I will share and that is my photography journey, which includes my crazy family, learning who I am, and trying to work my way through the maze of life.  I have always liked taking pictures but other than having 1000s of pictures, I have not invested the time to learn the art of photography.  About a year ago, I made the splurge to purchase a DSLR camera but am just now learning about it!

I have found The Unexpected Everyday photography ebook through Click It Up a Notch and I am diving in!  With 30 tips, it will be 30 days of photos!  They might not be 30 days in a row, we will see if life cooperates!

Today, was day 1 and it was about focal points (a nice place to start as I try to determine the focal point for the blog!) and the prompt was to photograph your child(ren's) feet!

Saturday mornings in our house normally involve both boys up earlier watching shows on their iPads. I am normally up with them and since it is football season, College Game Day will be on the t.v. and I will enjoy my morning cup of coffee while reading a book and listening to football news and predictions in the background.  It is actually a time I love before the craziness of the day begins, which normally means trying to get everyone ready to head to the baseball fields for a day of games!

I love seeing these two together!

Can you tell we are sports fans, with the Astros blanket?  Funny thing is, we are Rangers (and Indians) fans!  Though we do root for the Astros, but they are not our top team!
