Our challenge for the week was "white" -- and at first I thought that might be a little difficult. I mean I didn't want to capture the usual stuff so I just started looking a little harder. At first I didn't see much, but now as I sit here writing, all sorts of other...
I'm figuring I might have had this challenge a bit easier than some, because we have a lovely fruit orchard nearby where we always walk the dog. So yesterday, I grabbed my camera as we were leaving and took some shots along the way. I'm almost surprised that I didn't...
This was a varied topic this week, because our lovely host Beth decided to ask her son Noah what the topic for YouCapture this week. His response was: “like trees and beautiful plants and little cute babies.” Now we do have a lot of trees and plants around here...
The You Capture theme for this week was summertime, and for some reason I had a harder time visualizing what that would be than usual. Strangely enough, our summer has been rather usual. The most bizarre summer we've had here in Germany actually. We'll have a few days...
Because it was 4th of July weekend last week, I'm sure Beth from I Should Be Folding Laundry expected this to be an easy challenge for everyone. But to be honest, here in Germany, people are usually not all that patriotic. It's really a shame but that's just the way...

The name of the game for You Capture this week is "pretty." And while I'd generally take shots of Mack and nature around us, I thought it would be nice to showcase some of the pretty stuff we saw at Hessenpark this past weekend. Hessenpark is a really awesome living...
Busy. The theme for You Capture this week and the story of my life lately! We have so much going on these days, from trying to keep our homebound chaos to a minimum to chasing Mackenzie around to launching new websites and making meetings for our web development/...
The assignment this week was to capture photos of motherhood. And we just happened to have friends visiting so I managed to get a few photos of a mother other than myself... My own mother lives a 10-hour plane ride away. So I didn't get to shoot anything from us...
