Snack time! (July 14th blog post from Seattle)
Happy one-year blogiversary! It’s hard to type while there are streamers and confetti flying all over my home office, but I’ll try my best!
Today I’m continuing to look back at my 2009 blog entries. Yesterday’s post took care of the first six months. Now let’s check out some of my favorite posts and pix from July through December.
July:
"Palm trees" swaying in the air
I had fun taking photos on the fourth of July in our community: Fabulous Photo Fourth!
Purple hydrangeas on Bainbridge Island
Flower power was in full bloom while we vacationed in Seattle: Flower Fix.
August:
The happy #2 son during a good round.
My #2 son competed in the disc golf world championships in Kansas City: Lessons Learned at the Disc Golf World Championships.
The #2 son and his good friend Marcus talk.
The Mister and I actually managed to embarrass our 14-year-old #2 son: Partying With the Dinosaurs—A Night at the Museum.
September:
"You looking at me?"
I had forgotten how much I enjoyed shooting with my beloved Nikon 70-200mm lens until I used it at a disc golf tournament: Visiting With an Old Friend.
Who can resist #1’s baby blues?
A somewhat-heavy envelope addressed to my #1 son left me feeling suddenly blindsided and teary-eyed: A Large Envelope Makes Me Sad.
Our team celebrates a good block.
I shot a lot of high school sports photography this month, from cross-country (documenting my #2 son) to volleyball to football. The toughest to shoot? Volleyball! Photo Friday: Meeting the High ISO Challenge.
October:
Christin, Cameron, and Grace take their bows at the end of the play.
Readers’ eyes probably were rolling, as I discussed using exposure compensation when shooting a high school play: The Non-Delightful Light Battle; Warning: Eyes May Glaze Over (what a long title!).
The #2 son shows off his team and seventh-place medals.
The #2 son’s high school cross-country team won its first freshman title: We Are the Champions, My Friend!
November:
Victor tries to outjump the defender for a potential winning touchdown pass.
My sons’ high school football team almost won its first game amid the distractions of Homecoming: The Many Facets of a High School Homecoming Football Game (yet another long title!).
There's my boy!
This was the first of a three-day series about giving thanks. Here I was very thankful that my #1 son has a part-time job at the public library: Giving Thanks, Part 1.
December:
Snow in my backyard.
Holy cow! It snowed here in the Houston area; that’s a rare occurrence (it was only the third time my sons had seen the white stuff): Let It Snow . . . For Real!
Both sons smile at the halfway point of Chanukah.
Chanukah lasts eight nights, and I was able to squeeze five blog posts out of the holiday! This one was the second of those five: At the Halfway Mark.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this sentimental journey as much as I have. I really had fun blogging in 2009, and I’m looking forward to even more random snippets and apertures in 2010!
