Pictures of the Day ~ April 20, 2012

Here are my top pictures in no particular order. I couldn't stick to just five so you get seven. They all captured me for one reason or another. Enjoy and I'll be back with more pictures. 

Picture of the Day ~ April 19, 2012

I have made it! Thirty-one days of pictures. I have had fun and realized how much I have enjoyed taking the pictures and than posting them. I am not sure what I'll do now that the month is over. I have been thinking of a few different ways to keep this up, but I'm not sure if I want to do a month of pictures as it gets closer to summer and a busier schedule for me. When I know I'll let you all know my plans. Tomorrow I am planning on doing a post on my top 5 pictures from the month. Let me know what your favorite picture was. I would love the feedback.

This was a few summers back when we had finished playing in the 'Wilson Cup' tournament. 

This is one of my favorites of the kids!

Today, I decided to use my favorite person for the picture of the day. This was taken on Keith's 40th birthday. It was early in the morning just before we went fishing. We had a fantastic time out on the Gulf in the morning and being together. Great memories for the five of us.

Yesterday, we had a snow/ice storm. I am hoping that is the last of the season. It seems to be taking a long time for things to grow and get green up here and having a storm feels like a set back. I have lived in the north for 18 + years and I still miss a true spring with leaves, flowering trees, tulips, crocus', and daffodils oh, and green grass before May. It will all come, but not until mid to late May to early June when the trees will have popped, flowers bloomed. The grass will be green before I know it, maybe even next week. On the bright side the storm brought a bunch of migrating song birds to our feeders and it is nice to hear them 'singing'.

Last weekend we had the pleasure of celebrating Keith's Nana's 89th Birthday with the family. It was good to see the family after not seeing them since last September (minus a few who we will be seeing at the beginning of May). I wasn't sitting directly in front of Nana, but I still like this picture of her smiling as we sang, 'Happy Birthday' to her. I like the next picture because it shows her trying to blow out the one last candle! It was a pesky candle.

 When I think of the north shore of Lake Superior these images come to mind. Smooth and rugged rocks, rushing water and the tranquil color of the lake. I could probably spot a picture of the north shore just at a glance because the character is unique. Living on the shores of the largest fresh lake in the world makes you feel rather small when you see the expanse of the water. It is never ending.

Keith takes the credit for this picture. He had fun using the camera today taking interesting pics of rocks and Lake Superior. I'll have to post more of his work.
