my week in instagram

This was parked a few blocks away.  Quite something, huh?

This stone wall toppled in a recent storm.  They seem to be rebuilding it, but slowly.

The boys were up early the other morning, while I was still home and making my breakfast.

I made grilled cheese and tomato soup on a chilly and misty evening.  It was fun using our own tomatoes from last September (from frozen).

On Sunday we attended a pirate party.  The boys had so much fun with those hats.

Loved finding this little stand around the corner from us.

A very typical lunch for me (plus fruit, vegs, cornichons, and a small square of dark chocolate).  The bagel is toasted of course. 

Licorice tea has a lot of natural sweetness.

Can't stop photographing roses around the neighborhood.

I am so enjoying my photo a day project. It really stretches me to notice things and to be aware of the beauty all around me. And there is so much beauty!

I try to post at least one photo to Instagram each day, but I often post 2 or 3 (and then choose my favorite to add to 366). I doubt my photography skills are actually improving--these are just iPhone photos after all--but I just love the challenge and the awareness it brings.

PS--can you even believe the rose in that last photo?  Gah!
