I was having trouble sleeping because of a headache when I realized I hadn’t taken a photo for the day.

I saw these squares on a gate as I waited for a committee meeting at the local elementary school.

The boys in S’s preschool group.

Plenty of noise at the dentist’s office.

I found this abandoned snack cup was on the dining room floor.

This natural pose is a classic: sleeping baby with messy face.

R spotted this knobby caterpillar as we took a family walk and I captured it with my phone.

We found this little elephant reserved for us in a cabinet in our old home in Virginia. Now he’s a family mascot.

This butterfly is no longer “in the air” thanks to its unlucky encounter with a black cat. As I walked to work, I saw the cat bat it to the ground and then walk away once its fun was over. I got the opportunity for an extreme close up with my phone.

Everyday I wash the dishes, and yes, I use my good china–why save it?
