As some of you know my drivers license has expired, and we've been working with one vehicle for some time now... and while I feel like we have lost some of the freedom we like, the spontaneity of just going where we please whenever we want, it has also been a blessing in disguise. It's incredible the things you can find in your own backyard. The kids and I have been going for walks in our neighborhood and exploring all the nooks and crannies around us. We walk to the island and explore the shops, we walk to the peninsula to hang out at the beach, we walk to the coffee shop and people watch. For the past week we've been taking the camera and creating a specific task to accomplish while walking. One day it was taking pictures of anything that was a circle. Another day it was circles only found in nature. Katie really loves the shape days because she brings her own camera and just runs along snapping everything she finds...it can be challenging for her too when we pick a shape she may not be as familiar with! While we all have our own camera we seem to have fallen into a routine of one person taking the photos while we all walk and look. These pictures are from a walk along Upper Newport Bay. It's not even ten minutes from our door to get there and you could literally walk the trails around the bay for days. This day we were taking pictures of nature "close up"...with one of the general area to give you an idea of where we were at. The pictures this day were all taken by Maddy!
