Another light painting shot I did for the Night Photography theme at 52 in 2015. This is a moonflower. They only bloom at night. When I was out last night around 7:30 taking this, there were only four blossoms open on the vine on the fence. By morning there were 25 beauties open. We love these flowers.
My alternate shot for the week.
8 second exposure and lit with a little flashlight I picked up at the hardware store.
Its one of those weeks that fly by and before you realize, you ran out of time.
So I had to settle for this, not a great one. Still, it tells a story.
As you can see, our puppy is growing, fast. He is about the same height as Cara now.
And slowly she is deciding he is ok. She hardly has a choice though, he will lie down where she is.
But I am definitely getting the idea she is starting to like him.
The ultimate test will be when we have the fence up. Cara is known for chasing the boys all over the place. And I kind of hope she will start doing that again over here, with Lehto.
It will be interesting to see who is faster. She is very fast, he still has a lot of growing to do.
But no matter what, I think we are in for some fun the moment the fence is up.
And I will be there, camera in hand.

We all very much enjoyed our week at Grandmom's but Olive was so happy to be back home. She missed her toys. I feel like she grew a month in that short week's time and when we got home she was ready to show off all her new skills. When I look at her now, I see less baby than ever before. Her already present personality seems to be growing by the minute. I see the joy and excitement in her face now when we show her something new and that makes us want to show her everything! I hope this enthusiasm for new experiences stays with her. One of our biggest goal as parents is to raise her to be curious.
With this is mind, I've struggled to give her the freedom and environment she needs to explore and challenge herself. It's hard to let her out of my sight when I've been hovering nearby for so many months but I know it's important to let her crawl around that corner. This weekend we worked on totally baby proofing the downstairs so we can begin to let go a little more. I've had to remind myself that you don't always have to follow the rules when it comes to making the right decisions for your child. A small example of this is how we are handling Gymboree. For months I've been taking her from station to station, as you're supposed to. Now that she's more confident in getting around, I let her explore while I stand back at a distance. It's fun to see what interests her and what she'll choose to do. Sometimes I worry that I look like an uninvolved mom or that I'm not following the rules but I've realized that Olive needs to do things at her own pace and that if I follow her lead more, she'll flourish.

The My Four Hens Project 52 theme this week is simplicity which really resonated with me since life has been exceedingly complex of late. I thought of many different types of shots that might have worked… but this week, like most weeks, beat me up a bit. So this shot is a result of trekking out behind my house this afternoon and getting down to the ground. These tiny wildflowers are sprouting up everywhere and they hardly deserve a second glance since they look kind of like a weed. But look what happens when you get close with a macro…
Looking at this image makes me feel peaceful in my soul. The simple lines and colors are rich with detail and texture. I have a feeling I’ll be looking at this photo a lot in the near future. We met with Dominic’s psychologist this week and got the results of all the tests, assessments, and evaluations. Dominic does indeed have ADHD, mixed type, moderate, as well as dysthymia which is a low grade depression. Our next step is to get in with the psychiatrist (booking in March and waiting on a call back) and meeting with the school administration for a 504 plan and a BIP. Dominic’s reaction surprised me; he actually seemed relieved. I can imagine that carrying the burden of these severe behavior problems would weigh heavy on him and realizing that he’s not fundamentally at fault would be very reassuring. I’ll write a separate post soon about the appointment and all the rest of the information… remind me to fill you in about what his TAG teacher told me when she called this week.
Thanks for looking!

The depth of field is shallow for this image.
f/stop: f/2.8. This is as wide as my lens goes, which decreased the DOF.
Focal Distance:I was about 2-3 feet away when taking this picture. Had I been farther away, the DOF would’ve been increased
Focal Length: I shot at 50mm. Any higher, It would’ve decreased the DOF. Any lower, It would’ve increased the DOF.
As a whole, changing the DOF would’ve made either more or less of this image be in focus.
Terri Weifenbach’s work was really cool to look at. I especially liked the close-up picture of the frozen flower where the focus is on the center of the pedals. One thing I would’ve tried to do to add depth would be to add a branch, some leaves, and/or other foliage in the foreground to add even more depth to the image.
