A Bee’s-Eye View | Part 18: Contentment

Jen — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 01:59:11 +0000

I’ve been horrible about keeping up with these Bee’s-Eye View posts. Someday I will go back and upload the pics I’ve taken over the past few weeks. But I wanted to be sure to get this one done. It’s Otto, our new puppy, the picture of contentment.

I can’t believe the insanely beautiful weather we have had this week. The practical part of my brain realizes that there must be at least a little more snow still to come, but the rest of me has been loving this sunny, 70-80 degree weather and does not want it to end! And my garden is loving it, too. Things are budding all over the place.

Here is my dwarf magnolia (this first one is my official pic of the week)…

And my lilacs…

Griffin tries out his brother’s new Star Wars Force Trainer. Yes, supposedly his brain waves make the ball move up and down in the tube. It’s pretty cool to watch, and Griffin makes the funniest faces while playing with it.

My favorite picture from our trip to the zoo. I love this ocelet. He (she?) just looks so soft and cuddly!

Earlier today Grant and I attended the Save the Fort Rally in Oswego. I took a ton of pictures (of course), and I’ll be posting several of them here later this evening. You’ll see this picture in that bunch. It’s my favorite of the day, because its message is so simple, direct, and truthful; Fort Ontario does matter, it is important, and we can’t let the state shut it down.

It was Pinewood Derby week here in the Marriner household, and with it came some pretty high expectations. After all, the Marriner boys have a little dynasty going in Fulton’s Pack 715. Griffin took first place last year, and Grant won the year before that. The big race was yesterday, and Griffin’s car did very well. We won’t know the final results until the next pack meeting in a couple of weeks, but I predict that Griffin’s “Syracuse Orange #44″ car will be placing among the top three.

There aren’t many things that I like about winter. Really, I hate this season with a fiery passion. But one thing I do like are the “blue sunsets.” I don’t know what weird phenomenon causes them, but every once in a while on a cold winter’s day, when the sun goes down the whole sky gets to be this really intense shade of blue. And it’s beautiful.

An icicle hanging from the roof of our front porch, taken with my spiffy new macro lens. Yes, I said spiffy.

A Bee’s-Eye View | Week 7: Love

Of course my Valentine’s Day theme would be “Love” – what else could it be?

This is Carmen and her mama, taken at one of my two newborn sessions today. In my opinion, there’s nothing more loveable than a sweet, squishy newborn.

A Bee’s-Eye View | Week 6: Mothers and Daughters

This week’s photo is also a mini sneak peek for Peyton’s family (there will be more in the next few days). I got to do her sixth-month portraits today, and she has grown so much! She’s also a bit on the stubborn side, and wouldn’t give me any good smiles. But some of my favorite pictures of the day were taken while we were taking a break, while Peyton was just snuggled up on the couch with her mom. Such love!
