September 5 on 5

Every month as I go through the images I have captured, I feel like they just won’t go together in a blog post.  This month was a little easier because three of the photos were taken in the same session.  Still, I wasn’t sure the other two would fit in.  As I brought them all together, though, the bigger theme shines through:  beautiful light.

dsc_0099-editSeptember brings Labor Day, and for us, that usually means the running of the Blueberry Stomp.  This kid unofficially did his first 5K at the tender age of three. That year, we had a stroller so he could ride while we all ran, but he ended up walking/running the entire course himself.  Since he loved it so much, he now proudly wears his own bib.

dsc_0643-edit-editNothing beats an early morning workout, right?  Especially in this light.

Creativity Challenge: Editor’s Choice

This summer, I took part in a creativity challenge that is one of my favorites to date.  You can read more about it on the CM blog .  One of my photos was chosen (among many other great takes on the theme) as an Editor’s Choice.  This was an especially fun theme for me, so I’m sharing with you all of my own attempts at describing my subjects without having them be the most prominent element in the frame.

Early in the month, we made our annual trek to Oklahoma to visit family.  I can usually find something to shoot at Claremore Lake, even when I’m by myself.  But it’s even better when I can spend time with my daughter, teach her a few tricks, and capture her in action.

Our kittens continue to command a lot of attention–even when they sleep.  And speaking of sleep, we miss out on some of that when they decide 4 a.m. is playtime.

This is Lola.  She arrived a little later than the other two and even though I’ve snapped plenty of pictures of her, she has somehow not made it in any posts.  Until now.  Say hello to this pretty girl.

Sick day.  Isn’t it nice to know you’re loved when you’re feeling under the weather?

It’s a wonder this kitty, Nike, still remembers how to walk.  Ollie constantly picks her up and carries her around like she’s a satchel.  Then he places her on his lap whenever he pauses to do something.  Like eat.  Or tie his shoes.  And she doesn’t seem to mind it in the least.

 

And that was our August.  We spent lots of time together as we vacationed, watched the Olympic Games, and started a new school year.  I look forward to the coming months as I have lots of exciting plans in the works.  Stay tuned.

Next up in our blog circle is Stephanie, who I happen to know has had an exciting month.  Follow this link  to see what she and the rest of the girls have been photographing.
