Hi there, friends.

This week just flew by, don’t you think? Our days are so fast and filled with all sorts of kid-associated activities like playing and feeding and diapers and babies who won’t nurse. *sigh*

The newborn phase is so hard. How do we always manage to forget that?

Anyway, I captured very little blue this week. I did take a photo of a vase on my mantle. I have three in this color and I love them. (they’re from Ikea) We actually bought a new TV that will be mounted above our fireplace, so all of my lovelies above my fireplace will need to find new places to live in my home.

I used a texture from Paint the Moon. I love the way the texture makes this photo much more interesting. My mantle is stark white but with this texture it adds a metallic sheen. So fun.

That’s it for me, now it’s your turn to share.

BUT FIRST, please make sure you are following the directions. I had to delete three links because people weren’t following the directions. (please link back and at least mention You Capture if you are going to add your link to the linky.)

Also, I realize every You Capture (and every post) from August on is gone, as of right now, it’s nothing I can fix. It’s possible I’ll get all of my posts back but also, it’s possible that every post since then is gone. Nothing I can do to change that.

And finally, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Happy Capturing!

Hi there!

I hope you all had fun capturing something fun. I did because I just took pictures of my kids, well, two of my kids. And that is fun and also necessary because they have been so neglected when it comes to taking photos of them!

This theme is actually fun because you can capture it in different ways – someone doing something fun or you taking photos is fun, I did both.

First, Eli. My sweet little blond headed boy. He loves trains. He played with toys for a whole, like, NINE SECONDS! Glad I moved quickly.

And sweet Clara. She is starting to focus and can be distracted from crying by me making weird noises. And also by strange dogs staring at her.

Know what else is fun? I’ve finally taken the plunge into cloth diapering. Well, maybe not the plunge, maybe just my foot in the water but so far, so good! The plunge should be happening so soon. (we finally have a store locally that sells cloth diapers, it is AMAZING. Slings, cloth diapers, teething toys, etc. I’m in love!)

Heh. It was fun. I swear.

And pirates. Pirates are fun. AHOYTHEREMEHEARTY!

One of us was not amused. (hint: not me.) (also: this is big sister’s headband, Mom. Geeze.)

Now it’s your turn to share! I hope as you all peruse the links you find some joy in other people’s fun!

*Due to Thanksgiving next Thursday, we’ll be linking up on Wednesday! HOORAY!*

Happy Capturing!

I’m sure some of you are wondering why I chose fall in the midst of what feels like the onset of winter. I guess I’m trying to be fair to all areas of the country. I know some of you lucky people are just now experiencing your first leaf fall, so I want to give everyone the opportunity to photograph the seasons. Also? Every season has many stages, it’s fun to capture them, even when they’re not at their prettiest.

When I think of fall, I think of barns and burning wood and leaves and golds and reds and vibrant oranges. This barn is really close to my house. I see it nearly every day and every day I look at it like I’ve never seen it before. It’s so magical to me.

In my eyes, it says fall.

Now it’s your turn to share!
