293 of 365 Sunset

This is the view if our back yard along with a sunset over the ocean and our private pool. I plan to jump in that pool tomorrow morning.

 

But right now I will fall asleep to the sound of the ocean waves.

292 of 365 A long day

I haven't slept more then a 15 min stretch since Monday night. Why do I try to pack so much into so few days? But I did it and I now sit in a warm tropical place after getting up at 4am... actually I didn't really get up becasue I never really went to sleep last night. But I plan to sleep tonight. As soon as I finish this post.
Here is where we are....

Can anyone guess?

If you know for reasons other then this 365 post, please don't tell. :)
Anyways, the rest of the family arrive Friday and Saturday, Lord willing and then the festivities begin. Until then we have plenty of grocery shopping to do.

291 of 365 Equipment is Ready!

The 365 is posted, the batteries all charged, the lenses all accounted for.....
Well, can you guess what I am up to?

Nope! Not a photoshoot - done three of those in the 10 days .
Here's a hint - my toe nail color is called Bahama Mama.
And I will likely get about 3 hrs sleep tonight.
Stay tuned!

290 of 365 Our Daily Bread

Tonight our Bible study group watched a Francis Chan video about Hell.
You really should watch it (it's short) I have his new book Erasing Hell packed for an upcoming vacation.
We talked a lot about how important it is to stay grounded in the Word. But how does that play out in our busy, hectic, list filled days.  Well, Jean-Guy went to his car and brought in one of his daily disciplines - Our Daily Bread. So we have all committed to make the mornings our time of study in the Word and not bedtime. After all, the knight does not put on his armor after the battle. :)
It was a great evening and a joy to have one of our members return to us with renewed health. God is good! I am just so blessed with the group that gathers every Monday night at our house.
You are always welcome to join us. :)

289 of 365 Harold is 30!

Yes our eldest son is 30 and that makes us....... old.
I do NOT feel like the mother of a 30 year old. Gosh some days I think I am still 30.
Just some days....

We celebrated at Harold's favorite restaurant - Red Lobster.

Harold had the 'all you can eat' shrimp.......three orders of it. :)
Look at that Miss Eva. She knows exactly what to do for the camera and she has now taken to trying to see the screen on the back of the camera after I take the shot. Smart girl. I wonder how she learned to do that!
Oh, and like most family birthday photos.... I must add that I was there too.

288 of 365 Saskatoon Wedding

Wedding today and just WAY too tired to go through any number of photos tonight but here is one taken before the ceremony. It is not often you get the flower girls and a 2 year old ring bearer to pose for you.
Loving this one.
The girls were just so delightful I could have adopted them both. The ring bearer was the cutest thing going. I just wanted to pick him up and hug him. 

287 of 365 Wedding Rehearsal

Duane and Kathryn are getting married tomorrow. YEAH!!

Do you think Duane is having second thoughts?

Or just staying out of it! :)

286 of 365 Chandelier

The chandelier at the Bessborough taken from directly under it.
With my point and shoot.
Believe it or not I have a little trouble with the P&S - I rarely use it. Just pointing and shooting, well it feels just down right weird.

285 of 365 Our evenings

We arrive home from work. We have sloppy Joes - haven't had those in eons. I retreat to the "office" and settle into editing photos on the Mac. He settles into the couch reading his book and watching three channels at once.
And I though I was the multitasker around here....

The dishes await us though......

284 of 365 Memorabelia

Whoa!
I have been so busy since getting home from work editing and uploading family, engagement and wedding photos that I completely forgot to take my 365 shot.
I have taken well over 1000 RAW photos in the past week! The Mac is complaining.
Work at SHR is crazy busy and tomorrow I get interviewed for a DCF video.
Why do I do this to myself?  (don't answer that!)
I need my beauty sleep tonight.
But the 365 MUST go on - so I grabbed this vase off the mantle since I think it is the only object in my entire house that has not been photographed. We brought it home from Niagara on the Lake.
One shot - no edits!
I am going to bed!
