A photo taken in lieu of a note

S is learning to read and has enjoyed Jane Belk Moncure’s sound box series. I found these books at a thrift store in Honolulu. It is a mish-mashed set of two different editions of the series, with some missing letters. I took this quick phone photo so that I would have a reference of which books we had before I made another trip to the thrift store. A few weeks later, at our next thrift store trip, we found the missing letters.

R and S cleaning up trash on our walk home.

We often go for family walks to do our errands on the other side of our small town. We try to remember to take small garbage bags with us so that we can clean up trash on the way home. On this day, S found a small blue marble as he was cleaning up trash. He is now hopeful, perhaps a little too hopeful, that he will find additional toy treasures as he does his part to help keep our town clean.

S at PCC

I took this photo at the PCC while we were waiting for the Tram Tour. We had walked to the PCC and wanted to use the Tram as a bus service to get at least half-way home. The photo is a little over-exposed, but I was practicing depth of field at the time and this photo documents some marginal improvement in my understanding of depth of field.
