I love this little guy. Meet Łukasz who I have had the pleasure of watching grow up closely and is officially the very first "Bigfoot Coffee Shop" baby. When my nephews come to visit they will already have playmates! So nice to run into the entire family last night wandering the Rynek. Beautiful night to hang with great friends.

Finneas is growing up quickly - he has long legs and big feet that don't match the rest of his body. He's also calming down a bit and as you can see here, can look coy and innocent sometimes. He still hasn't figured out how to make friends with Mandy. He's kind of starting to understand to not run right up to her...kind of. Hope you have a wonderful Friday!

First haircut...pretty compliant with the process.

I honestly don’t remember why Sadie was dressed this way. But damn is my kid cute and sassy! She’s gonna be trouble later on down the road…

I got to thinking this morning about the old days of film photography. When I was growing up, picture taking was largely event-driven. Holidays, birthdays, vacations, that type of thing. Invariably after the event had been thoroughly documented (on a roll of 24 exposures, or for big events maybe a 36, both laughable by today's digital standards) you might find yourself with a couple of frames remaining at the end of the roll. I still recall the great reluctance to rewind the film without using every last available frame. Thus was born the concept of "using up the film" before processing. Sometimes this entailed going out and photographing some meaningless subject (such as a couple of sap buckets hanging from a maple tree). For my dad it often resulted in waiting for the next event, no matter how far off that might be. So we might not see the Christmas photos until after the Memorial Day Parade. And photos taken during a summer vacation might be capped off with a few from Halloween. So there always seemed to be some lag time between the event and actually seeing the photos. It all seems so quaint in an era where we have immediate playback capability and endless storage capacity in our cameras.

Even if not yet for the ears, but don't tell him I said that. :-p

 

Owen has taken up the flute which I think is both cute and cool. I did band at his age and while I didn't pursue it myself after the 5th or 6th grade I definitely value it as a creative pursuit and this kid has shown so many creative interests. He loves drawing mazes, making comic books, writing choose-your-own-adventure stories, coding video games and now music. It makes me sit and marvel at the creative tickings and whirrings of that growing mind of his and while I don't want to see him grow up unduly fast, I am curious indeed to see how that curious mind of his expands and matures. It's a cool thing to watch.

 

I made this image of him over his spring break. I took him on a week trip up near the San Juan Islands where we had a rustic little cabin all to ourselves. We played games, threw rocks into the water, read and listened to podcasts on myths and legends, and yes, practiced the flute. Well he did at least. I listened... and photographed, because these are valuable moments and they pass a bit too fast for my liking.

Listen to my 8tracks mix here

'my' baby possum resident is growing so fast. And getting cheeky too. Just now he was just sitting there within reach and in full view of my dog, who did not like this at all.

If you grew up on fairy tales, nothing will ever support you in that same way....and the magic eventually moves on.

the first lot of ducklings are down to 3 but growing and for the last week the mum has given up on them so there on there own

mother always said.

 

so i did.

Growing up is a high price to pay for maturity.

This week, the blog post features wildlife, mainly birds, found around Loma, CO and Highline Lake State Park. During the winter, many of our visitors are bald eagles. They come there to fish in the partially frozen lake and range from fully mature to not too long fresh out of the nest.

 

While all bald eagles are fascinating to me, it's the immature that I find to be the most interesting. I guess it's that they all look so different as they make the four to five year transition from a newly hatched eaglet to the white headed and white tailed bald eagle that we as Americans recognize as our US national symbol. I just love to watch them flying about ... practicing their defensive and attack moves, and playing about in the air performing aerial acrobatics. Such a thrilling bird of prey ... though I have to admit, that the circle of life is difficult to me and I have been a bit upset with them at times. ;-)

Week 31/52

 

I've had this concept in my mind for a few weeks now, and while it isn't a spectacular shot, it came out exactly like I wanted it to: soft and contained. Which is exactly what this concept was about.

 

I suffer from an enormous Peter Pan complex. I don't like growing up. I don't mind the concept of getting physically older, but having to be adult and mature and act properly and everything makes me want to shoot myself in the head. It's like I wasn't made for it; I was made to spend half my time daydreaming and imagining possibilities, stories, photos, places I want to see and people I want to visit. I was made to love things deeply and strongly, to laugh out loud in the street and jump and clap when I like something. I was made to smile giddily.

 

I wasn't made for the formality of adulthood. For the distance between people, for the lack of touch. And this is the concept I wrapped this shot around; the lack of physical contact.

 

I'm very touchy-feely. I'm the kind of person who'll hug you out of nowhere, who'll try to hold your hand or play with your hair if you're sad. And I know that's not appropriate at my age, now. I'm supposed to be this proper woman, to comfort people with a nod or a pat on the forearm. I'm supposed to keep a respectable distance between myself and others, which is something we didn't have as kids, as teenagers. And it troubles me, because my first impulse (which was radically augmented by the birth of my sister) is to hug people. So I spend half my time telling myself 'not everyone is a cuddle bug like you are, not everyone likes to be touched' and keeping my hands in my pockets so I can be the "adult" everyone wants me to be.

 

I don't know. Maybe I'm being childish about this, but it's one of the things that bother me the most about growing up. What sense does it make, to not be able to give and receive physical comfort just when things get hard? Because when you're a kid, you might not notice, but the world is pink and bubbly. The teenage years aren't the worst; they may seem like they are, but they aren't. The worst part is when you have to deal with work and bills and health issues and the life that everyone expects you to live. That's when it gets tough. And that's exactly when you're not supposed to be comforted.

 

I don't know. This is a very... stream of consciousness kind of thing, so I'll just shut up now.

"Last week, I got 2nd place! Thank you so much! This week's theme was all about Beyonce and her songs. I honestly don't listen that much to her music so I was kinda scared. I was assigned the song 'I Was Here'. I didn't know this song but when I first played it on my computer, it really moved me. The lyrics are so beautiful, powerful, yet simple. I felt in love with the song! This song is really about, I think, living your dreams, doing what you want to do and becoming the person you want to become. There is also the fear of not being remembered or being remembered for the wrong reason. And I think it's a struggle that many people deal with nowadays. In my picture, I wanted to translate those lyrics and the fact that time is ticking fast, that you have to grow up and be who you want to be. Life is sometimes blurry and sometimes clear, sometimes hard and sometimes easy. I really hope you like it the way I do! :)" - Moriarty

 

Here are the lyrics of the song:

 

I wanna leave my footprint on the sands of time

Know there was something that, and something that I left behind

When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets,

Leave something to remember, so they won't forget

 

I was here

I lived, I loved

I was here

I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

And it was more than I thought it would be

I will leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here

 

I want to say I lived each day, until I die

And know that I meant something in somebody's life

The hearts I have touched will be the proof that I leave

That I made a difference, and this world will see

 

I was here

I lived, I loved

I was here

I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

And it was more than I thought it would be

I will leave my mark so everyone will know

 

I was here

I lived, I loved

I was here

I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

And it was more than I thought it would be

I will leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here

 

I just want them to know

That I gave my all, did my best

Brought someone to happiness

Left this world a little better just because

 

I was here

 

I was here

I lived, I loved

I was here

I did, I've done, everything that I wanted

And it was more than I thought it would be

I will leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here.

Possibly my most favorite picture of the "kids"!

Vern: Come on you guys, let's get moving.

Teddy: Yeah, by the time we get there the kid won't even be dead any more

 

Stand by Me (1986)

 

Vern: Do you think mighty Mouse could beat up Superman?

 

Teddy: What are you, cracked?

 

Vern: Why not? I saw the other day, he was carrying five elephants in one hand!

 

Teddy: Boy, you don't know nothing! Mighty Mouse is a cartoon. Superman's a real guy. There's no way a cartoon could beat up a real guy.

Vern: Yeah, maybe you're right. It'd be a good fight, though.

 

Enjoy :))

Here's a picture of my kids (Jaren & Brooklyn) a few days after their 2nd birthday.....way, way back in 1998.

 

Fast forward to today and here we are celebrating their 18th! Yes, I've got two adults now, one who jumped into University a year early (Brooklyn) and another finishing high school and landing a 2nd job last week to ensure lots of summer hours after he is done. Both are working part-time now and saving for all those future dreams.

 

Happy Birthday, I'm very proud of you both!! :) SEE COMMENTS FOR ANOTHER PIC.

Awww today I woke up and there was only 1 baby in the nest. Mamma is still coming and feeding this little one but I bet in a day or two he will be gone too!!!

We all have dreams of what we will become.
