Hi friends – I hope you had a great week capturing the word “hopeful” in your photographs. I am excited to see some of your entries – it’s sure to invoke some emotion. Speaking of seeing your entries, I wish I could spend an entire day just clicking on your wonderful links and seeing your captures … someday. Maybe.
My first images of “hopeful” I took outside. I love taking outdoor photos but haven’t been able to because it’s SO STUPID COLD and also? I am lazy. I drive by these little guys every single day and yesterday, the sun was out and was able to get these wonderful shots. (from the driver’s seat, of course.)
Why hopeful? Because non-frozen water makes me hopeful for SPRING. Oh, spring, I love you so much.
And these images make me baby hopeful. Do you realize we have like 25 DAYS until we meet this amazing creature. We are so hopeful and beyond happy.
His current home:
his future wardrobe (a small portion of it):
and his sister’s words written at school scream out HOPEFUL to me.
There is my HOPEFUL for this week. I loved this challenge, thank you to Nic for the idea!
Now, it’s your turn to share!
Be sure to read the guidelines and if you play along and your link was deleted, it’s probably because you linked directly to your blog and not your You Capture post, so link carefully, please!
Quiet. (courtesy of Nic, once again.)
Your photos this week are amazing. Like, emotionally so! Love hopeful.

Your photos really are absolutely amazing. I love your outdoor shots (I had a similar idea, minus the water) and I’m so excited for your family and the new addition you’ll have very, very soon!
I love your duck pictures…and am excited for your family and your new little one, arriving soon! Yay!
I love the colour in the shots of the geese on the pond. Just beautiful.
I love your daughters little pink cut out! How precious is that? So splendid! And only 25 more days until the baby comes. SO exciting.
OH, that note from your daughter. My heart.
(so excited for you guys!!)

We’re hoping for spring here too! LOVE your captures this week, especially the second shot. That’s gorgeous. The colors and the depth..wonderful.
What lovely captures, just as always. Your home is just teeming with hope right now! How wonderful!
What a perfectly lovely word for you to express this week! Just when I was all googly over the geese, I scrolled to the baby thought pictures and well, forget you geese (although the pictures ARE gorgeous)! Was just adding your shower button and touring around the gift table- so amazing, as are you, Beth
ah yes, spring. i vaguely recall that guy.
can’t wait to meet your little person (via your blog…and perhaps in actualreallifeperson if i ever get my hiney up to your neck of the woods again). isn’t it just amazing that he will fit into all those bitty clothes?
love all your hopeful captures. very soon, my friend.
I had fun with this one. Our family has had a rough year and our hoping capabilities are running a little low. So being able to use hope with a sense of humor this week really helped.

hooray for spring and quackers (that’s what we call duck in this household) and teeny tiny hangers and beautiful pregnant bellies and heartfelt sentiments of kiddos. so much hope here, and lovely photos too.
Yeah, if that last one doesn’t scream out hope, I don’t know what does!
I had fun with this one, too. I felt hopeful just being out there taking pictures. I couldn’t wait all week to share on Thursday.
These were fun, and your photos are beautiful… but quiet? I don’t get much of that in my life!
It feels like everything around me has cooperated with your theme this week. I’m feeling more hopeful than I have in MONTHS. Hugs to you – HOPEFUL you are feeling good today!

Hopeful took me by surprise this week, where I least expected it. I love your last photo best. I am sooooo excited for all of you!
My boys are so excited too about our addition coming this summer. I love your daughter’s note.
This is my first time participating in YouCapture!
I love the last one. The faith and hope of a child is so emotional, and so honest.
I just love your goose pictures.

Love the note. Precious!!
I have mine up!
The PERFECT thing happened today as I was trying to decide what to post for HOPE.. I was so excited about such a small victory, maybe too excited, but that’s ok.
Love your pictures as always!
Sorry, I put my link up twice because the first time I accidentally pasted YOUR link instead of mine. Oops!
Oh Beth. I adore your photographs. And you took those from your CAR?? Wow woman. Those are just gorgeous.
And the closet and the note from your daughter….I just love this theme.
Very inspiring this week!!

Dang it. I linked to my blog instead of my post on accident. Whoops. I reposted with my page link. Sorry!
I love the photo of your daughters words. So sweet.
I too am hopeful for spring. And there is snow EVERYWHERE. I’m so over winter.
YAY for baby clothes.
These are beautiful, especially your belly. I totally failed at this week, which makes me sad because I love hope.

Ehem, just noticed there is no topic for next week.
What beautiful photos! I especially love the one of your daughter’s words.
Love the photos, especially Anna’s note of excitement!
I loved this week’s theme, and it was an excellent one for my first You Capture post. Thank you!
Great theme this week!
Love the last one… awww. Too precious.
I didn’t think I was going to do this one, because I had another post planned for today. But when I sat down outside on my swing this afternoon, I looked around me and said, “*This* is hope.” So here I am.
Decided to jump in and participate. Love the them. Tried to come up with a more glamorous topic, but this really is where my hope has been this week.
