morning sunlight

Okay, so yesterday did not go according to plan and truthfully, this morning isn’t either.  I really had planned on being way more productive yesterday and so far this morning and things keep popping up – distractions really.  Yesterday, I had to take the Wildcat to her first dentist appointment and because she was so very good, I rewarded her with eating lunch out.  Then I figured while I was out, I’d run a couple of errands.  So by the time I finished all that it was time to pick Keegan up from school.  Then homework.  Then dinner.  Then bath & bedtime routines.  And quite frankly, I ran out of steam way earlier last night than intended.

And this morning….. I had intended on taking Keegan to school, running since I failed to squeeze it in yesterday, finish laundry & unpacking along with getting started on cleaning the house.  So far, I’ve managed to get Keegan to school, take some pics, process said pics, play on Facebook & Twitter.  {SIGH}  But I am happy with the pics.  Many of these are SOOC (straight out of the camera).  And you’ll see, I got carried away playing with bokeh.  Couldn’t help myself.  So bear with my bokeh….

I finally reeled myself back in from the bokeh frenzy.  I couldn’t help it.  The morning sun was just to perfect.  This bush, grass, whatever it is was actually on my neighbor’s property but very close to our fence.  I didn’t think they would mind if I used it for a few pics.  I’d been eyeing it for a good while.  These were fun for me – except it was cold!

Hope y’all have a blessed day!

    I can’t imagine why you ran out of steam early !?!?!?! SOunds like oyu had a busy day yesterday. Being that I am a photography idiot, I have no clue what Bokeh is (or how to even say it =))! Great pictures though!

      Girl, it seems all my days are busy lately. I need a vacation from life. LOL! Thank you! And bokeh is that blurry background with all the different shapes of the sunflare. :)

    The sunflare in these photos is G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. :)

      thanks, girl! Yes, these were fun for me – it had been a while since getting excited over pics like this. LOL – just too much other stuff going on, I guess. I’m very ready for summer break and not having to take kids here or there. Just being home and get a little extra play time.

    Okay lady- these are STUNNING!!!!!!!! Play with bokeh all you like- no complaints here! Hope things calm a bit- I know all too well right now that those changes to the routine are a pain in the rear end. Funny how a few little tweaks can turn the world upside-down.

      And I am SO upside down. I just can’t seem to get back to some sort of schedule. I am sitting here now struggling with the fact that it’s already after 10am. Where did my morning go???? {SIGH} And thank you so much! These were definitely fun and put a little spring in my step. :)

    Sounds like a mother with young children, not to mention an additional career outside the home!

    Your sun-on-grass photos are wonderful. Very early-morning in feeling. I do love the bokeh.
