Shots that didn’t make Skywatch

My Skywatch Friday shot is in the next post down – this post is about where creativity meets reality. In looking back through some photos from a couple weeks ago, I ran across some I took with Skywatch in mind. I had this great idea that since the kids and grands were down for a couple days, that I should include some of them in my offering for that week.

Ellyn and Jason went up to the farm to pick blueberries and Anna was taking her nap, so Mark I went out to see what I could come up with in terms of a good shot of the sky. I had this great idea to have him stand near the front flower beds and look up, so that I could catch the flowers, the grandson and the sky in a pleasing arrangement.

“Ok Mark, Grandma needs you to help her take some pictures. Can you stand right here and just look up at the sky for me?”HmmmmmmmmGuess I need to think about this a little more.

I eventually ended up with the shot in this post, but these tickle me a whole lot more!

    (laughing) Further proof I’m not entirely drawn to the idea of motherhood: when I look at these pictures, I notice the beautiful flowers and all I can think is, gee, I really need to spend more time away from my desk.

    I just love that kid …. I bet he gets hugged a lot!

    You-are-not-going-to-believe-this! ….. I went to the Crown Room today (yes, that is what our cafeteria is called … get it … Hallmark Crowns … there’s brass crown chandeliers hanging form the ceiling … I love them) … anyway, Vericot Verts were down to $1.20!!! My voice has been heard! (Even though I only complained on your blog …. maybe they read your blog too!)

    Hey!!! You can't blame the performer. The director must get what they need from the actor. He was following orders. Everything is up to the Director. Why do you think they get Oscars and Pulitzers?
