In A Yellow House Photo Challenge ~ On the Water!

I had a hard time deciding which picture I wanted to post. There's the sailboat one from Point Loma. Or the beach one from La Jolla Shores. Which to choose, which to choose...

I went with the beach one. La Jolla Shores Beach. My favorite vacation place in the world.

In A Yellow House ~ Work & Play

The In A Yellow House Photo Challenges are still being hosted by Ashley over at Ramblings & Photos. I loved this challenge because it really did "challenge" me. I really had to think about this one. So what did I end up with? This:

It's the wall in my kitchen, right next to my fridge, where my daughters lovingly scrawled in crayon. They did this months ago... possibly a year ago! I love it for so many reasons. Creative, I thought, of them to use the wall for a canvas. Creative, I thought, of them to 'match' the abstracts I have hanging in our kitchen. (I hung all my old college paintings in our kitchen.) I love the childness of it, the use of colors on the bright green background, the fact that someone randomly & miraculously drew a cursive L towards the bottom (do you see that too?). Of course, we had to discipline them when it happened - but now it serves as a reminder to them that drawing on Mommy's wall is a "No-No". And they tell me that often! :)

So how does this tie into this week's theme?? Work & Play??

Work for Mommy*. Play for Kids.

(*Well, I guess it would be work if I ever tried cleaning it up!!*)

Share your Work & Play pictures with the rest of us over at Ramblings & Photos!

In A Yellow House Photo Challenge ~ Trees

This is my first entry for the In A Yellow House Photo Challenges! This week the theme is Trees. I knew just what I was entering. We have a ginormous Black Walnut tree in our backyard. It's over 100 years old and you should see the black walnuts that come off it in the Fall. I love this tree!! This picture was taken this Spring just before the buds came as a storm was rolling in.
