I woke up this morning.... and I smiled at the rising sun / by Carey

Soooooooooo,  I have a teeeeensy tiny problem.  I haven't really worked through my family photos in, oh, a year.  Yeah... a year.  Now, I've taken them.  Taken LOTS of them.  And I've posted some to facebook here and there.... but as I was looking back through the folders for something, I kept coming across images that I simply didn't even remember!  Normally I work through them month by month.... but somewhere along the way, that just evaporated.

This must be remedied.  I have several sessions I've shot for others that I need, need, need to get finished up.  But I want to get my own family shots finished and shared as well.

I did happen to process these from a beautiful early may day.  I titled the album on facebook (six month ago, holy cow)  "I woke up this morning, and I smiled at the rising sun!"

We love that song sung by Elizabeth Mitchell (listen on youtube).  It's our going to preschool in the morning song.  We haven't listened to it in a while, though, but ironically this very morning, Little Buddy asked for it.  He couldn't remember the name.  He kept asking for the song that begins with clicks that he was making with his tongue.  I was SO confused.  Then it hit me.  Three Little Birds.

These images just make me smile.  As it is fall and a good many of the leaves have fallen, temperatures are crisp, and brown is starting to overcome the green, seeing this vibrant sunshine and new growth just warms my soul.

Here I was experimenting.  It was challenging, but the result is fun.

Aaaaaannnnnnnnnndddddddd, the fun is over.  She slipped and fell into the water we put into the turtle sandbox to make a beach.  Evidently, that was devastating.
