Rachel!
THAT is the best news I've heard in a while!

Congratulations. I remember the story well, and was even telling my wife about it as we came across one of your pics last week. I wondered how things were going, so this is just wonderful!

This was a meaningful picture back in July, and it's even more meaningful today. You can stop trying to not get your hopes up now.

How long til we get a shot of the house now?

I bet you could find a stand-in cat in Kuwait.

Anyway, you are somewhere unique doing something (?) special, and building memories. Sounds like the perfect setting for a slice of life.

...Even if it is all one dull, flat, boring color.

Glad to see you even if you don't have time for this one. You're always welcome, whenever you can post. That's what makes the DPC community so great.
BTW, I love the colors and shadows in this shot. It feels like the southwest.

Sadly, no. Her school required the students to go to their designated photographer. And since Nicole is a senior, she needed multiple shots for the year-book. We're out exactly $100, and we have only a book of proofs. If we want actual prints, we have to really dig deep.

I'm in the wrong business...

Yes, either mid chew, or performance face art...

A really good candid capture.

Washed Dishes Day 3

I wanna know what you cooked for dinner that used a cookie sheet and a colander? And then there's that cool spatula and the big spoon...

(It's getting close to dinner time. I'm not thinking clearly.)

Charlie, joynim is right. The ducks really make this shot.

And what's wrong with prepositions? I think they get a bad rap, just like dangling participles. (You need your participles to dangle from time to time.) Besides, the sentence without your lovely phrases would read like this:

"I took kids to school then walked. It was nice."

Your's was much better. :)

Day 4: I'd like you to meet my sister

Judy is right. I was trying to remember why this looks so familiar. Then I read her comment and I immediately knew it gave that same old-movie feel. The contrast made by the light is incredible.

Great shot.
