You Capture – Love around your home
ByHappy You Capture!
Did you all have a good week? We had a good and very busy week which led me to finally take my You Capture photos just this morning. I would say I’m a slacker but instead I’ll give myself a break and just say that I was just too darn busy!
I love this week’s topic and although it was hard for me to choose, I decided to take a certain angle, one that allowed me to focus on something rather than showing you 100 photos from all over my house. I did it for you, I promise.
I chose birds. I love birds, I love their symbolism, I love that when I see two together, I think that James and Jake are sending me a message to breathe and remember. (happened just yesterday while driving – it was a welcomed sign!)
Here are just a few birds around my house.
On my porch.
In my bathroom.
On my porch. Again.
On my counter in the kitchen.
and on my mantle.

COLOR.
Show us some color during these bleak winter months! Extra credit if you can find it outside.
I love the birds around your house – so pretty!
I love birds, too. These are lovely.
I love those brown glossy ones on your porch!
Have you ever heard about Korean Wedding Ducks? I’ve heard stories from other military wives who have been stationed in Korea… It’s a tradition when you get married, you are given two birds… and if there is harmony in the house, they face each other on the shelf… if Mama ain’t happy, she can turn hers around…
I love that all of yours are facing each other!
I love that James and Jake are everywhere at your house. Perfect captures. p.s. I hope Noah had a great birthday.
Beautiful shots, but I especially like the one of the brown ceramic birds.
Everytime I see 2 lone birds, or those last red berries in bare trees I ALWAYS think of James and Jakes. I love how prominent they are in your house. It makes me smile to see all of the things that remind you of them.
love them all
Love your bird collection. They are all different but so similar.
Beautiful photos, I love your birds.
I absolutely loved this week’s challenge, it’s so great to see everyone’s interpretation of love around their home!
Images of birds are the only kind that don’t scare me. Great collection. =)
I’m very fond of birds too! I have a pair of bird salt and pepper shakers that would go great with your collection!
Gorgeous birds! I really love the silver birdie. I love what they symbolize for you, Beth!
I love the birds on the porch. Beautiful!
Whenever I see birds when I’m out and about (in other words, shopping…) I think of you and your baby boys. All of yours are beautiful and they are such a lovely and perfect motif for their memory.
Thanks for showing us love around your home!
those little signs are so welcomed aren’t they! I love getting ones from my mom!
Simple peaceful birds….glad you have them to make you smile!
Love the birds at your house and the reason for them and I love your photography skills that make the photos so much more than just pictures. Beautiful job….again.
Great photos. The white birds are adorable. I didn’t exercise as much self control as you did.
I love your little bird in the bathroom. And I love your processing of your photos!
I adore birds, too. Beautiful pictures.
I’m working up my nerve to join You Capture. I love looking at the pictures each week. Thanks so much for doing this!
I added my link. I look forward to seeing everyone else’s posts later this evening. Thanks, Beth, for thinking of this. The red birds in your kitchen is my favorite of your pictures.
Definitely go with busy, not slacker, Beth! You deserve it
I find it touching how you can find such sweet symbolism in birds and your photos certainly reflect that.
Thanks for the fun times this week with You Capture!
I love the ones on the porch! Some neat angles here.
I love the pair on your mantle! Thanks for the fun You Capture post and challenge – even though I totally screwed up and posted a day early…sorry…
LOVE all your birds! they are beautiful and what a precious meaning behind them. xo
Not to be redundant, but I really love your birds. Especially the ones on your mantle.
Great shots!
I love all of your birds and that you chose a particular theme. I’m really looking forward to next weeks challenge. I could use a little more color!
I love these shots! And I love that in so many rooms in your home, you have something so sweet to symbolize your love for James and Jake, and their love for you.
I love those random gentle nudges to make us remember and help us to not forget to breathe….
My favorite is the pen/pencil holder on your counter.
Beautiful captures!
I must say, that after reading your blog for so long, when I see two birds I think of James and Jake too. Which is amazing to me since I don’t even “know” you in “real” life. But I always think it’s an amazing thing and that if I was their Mom I would love that people thought of them so I try to just smile and remember that.
Hi Beth,
I love all your birds — especially those two sweet ones on your front porch. You really do take great pics — always such a pleasure to click over to your site for a glimpse of your world.
And thanks for stopping by my blog today and looking at my photos. I appreciate your comment!
I love You Capture — thanks so much for hosting it each week!
[...] See what others love over at I should be folding laundry. [...]
I love this all so much.
I love these captures. Birds are so healing.
I love your birds. That is such a sweet idea! I especially love the photo of the pair on the porch. Gorgeous!
I love all of your birds, especially the ones on the porch.
This was a great post! I really loved taking a peek into everyone’s homes and finding the things that they love.
Your post is beautiful. I love the birds.
I love You Capture and visiting all the blogs.
I captured this week!
I even tried to capture 2 small birds playing around the house today. I was so touched after seeing your pictures that I prayed and prayed they would hold still long enough. Sorry!
Your pictures are beautiful, as is what they mean to you and your family.
This is my first week participating in “You Capture”! I’ve seen several friends post different things, and I just love the idea. I’m not a great photographer, maybe not even a good photographer, but I love taking pictures. I hope this will help me focus in on one thing and perhaps get better. I think it already has, I found myself thinking about compostion more, and how to frame what I wanted to “say”. Thanks for doing this and inspiring others to pick up the cameras and not only get better, but have fun doing it! Blessings to you!!
I’ve looked at the posts from You Capture for a while now so I decided this week I’d join in. I love birds too! We have quite a few in our home. I especially love the pretty white birds on your mantle.
I chose to capture tokens of our faith around our apartment. All the many blessings we have come from this.
Thanks!
