Team-Up Thursday: Selective Focus

Tina's  camera is repaired so we're back with Team Up Thursday again. This week we played along with the theme from Mental Inventory. Tina's shot captures her selective focusing, colors and the sunlight beautifully. I played around with my daughter who was more than happy to try on all of her new school clothes. 

 

 

After a few days of being miserably sick this week's T13 topic was an easy choice.

13 Things That Make Me Happy 

1. The Running Makes Me Happy necklace I ordered came in the mail yesterday. I love it!     
2. I'm feeling better and I can stop taking Sudafed, which, by the way, I'm not a fan of.
3. My marathon is this month (serious mixed emotions about this depending on the day).
4. A request for some of my race photos for OhioRunning.org.
5. Shaken Green Tea Unsweetened.   
6. Long runs.
7. I start another photography class next week, Finding Your Joy by Kelly Willette.    
8. The anticipation of starting the P90X or Insanity workout at the end of Sept.
9. Smart Wool socks. I didn't think socks could make this much of a difference.   
10. I'm back to running this evening!
11. Sunday evening walks with Chad, Alec and Alyssa. 
     
12. The cooler weather.
13. Hearing kids play on the playground while I'm at work.

[colleen]

I love hearing kids play too and when I first discovered wool socks I couldn't believe what I had been missing all my life, same thing with my down comforter.

[snarky]

Both are beautiful photos. I love that necklace too. I am going to have to check out that website.

[Alice Audrey]

I'm glad you're feeling better.

I used to live across from a school. Recess was a comforting sound, because my own kids were there, but I'm just as glad to be away from it now.

LOVE the sound of children playing...except when it gives me the urge to have more.

Oh, I'm angsty for you and your marathon. Can't wait to read about it (and really, I just can't wait to run one myself!)

Now, can I hire you to put pics on my Thur.13 posts? These are fantastic

[Mel]

So glad you're feeling better xx

And I love that necklace! I saw it on Cathy Zielske's blog and admired it then. I kind of need to take up running before I can get one though lol...

[Kristen]

What a fun slide!

I am glad you are feeling better. Sudifed is funny with some people. My hubby can't sleep when he takes it.

[jillconyers]

Yes, we will wear our necklaces to dinner :)

I'm so excited to start the P90X. And you have to try the Smart Wool socks. Do you have a Dicks Sporting Goods close by? Some running specialty stores carry them but not many. If you can't find them let me know and I'll send you a pair. That is how much I like them!

[Berta]

Your Team Up Thursday photos are great - love your theme. Also love your Thur 13. Good luck on your run - I just finished taking photos for a marathon in our area - 600+ runners (eeeeek). I saw some FUN necklaces on gals running - yours is GREAT.

[Jessie]

Lovely team up! Great necklace - love it!

[Mary]

I don't think that your links are working for the code. :(

[Linda]

I can hear the children playing at the school when I am outside during the day. It always makes me smile. It is nice to see you and Tina doing your team up again. Glad to hear you are feeling better too.

[Forgetfulone]

Good luck on your upcoming run. Thanks for sharing your happy list, and glad you're feeling better!

[megan]

[Heather]

Congrats on the photo request. Glad you're feeling better!

[Shannon]

Hey- so glad to have found your blog! Following you now! Have you done the P90X before? I keep wanting to try it- but then I dont want to spend all the money on it until I know I'll like it!! LOL.

Let me know if YOU do!!

Nice to meet ya:)

[jillconyers]

Hi Shannon
Thanks for the follow. Im already following you. P90X is new to me. In fact I have never even considered a video approach to working out. I just decided last night that I will definitely be starting P90X on 9/27. Ill let you know how it goes!
