Challenge: Funky
Her Space: My Space photo challenge:
A little bit of funky goes a long way. Find 'funky' in your space.
Funky? I immediately think of my daughter. I never have, and probably never will, be condsidered funky, but my daughter on the other hand has that spunk. She loves funky, colorful and bling right down to her journals. A little bit about what makes my daughter who she is...very cool!

Challenge: Rows
Her Space: My Space photo challenge:
Rows can be natures patterns or our way of organizing, where are there rows around you today?
The Beginning
It has been 10 days since I got my new camera...a Digital Rebel XTi! I have so much to learn. The capabilities of this camera seem endless and at first a bit intimidating. So join me, my XTi and my Canon Digital Rebel XTi/400D Field Guide by Charlotte Lowrie and PS7 as I learn the art of capturing life in photographs.

Well said...
- ...but the biggest mistake I made is the one that most of us make while doing this. I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of the three on them sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages 6, 4, and 1. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in a hurry to get on to the next things: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less. Anna Quindlen
