You Capture: Nature

I thought this week's You Capture would be a little easier, but every time I stepped outside, every kid in the neighborhood flocked over. And I didn't want to get every kid in the neighborhood in my photos. Note to self: Be meaner to neighborhood kids.
I originally planted this bush for the sole purpose of annoying our neighbor, but it's become one of my favorites because it was the first thing green this spring and has stayed a beautiful, fresh green.

Even better than the bush itself is when I go to snap a photo and capture my favorite nature loving boy zooming by in a blur in the background.

p.s. This has nothing to do with nature (well, maybe), but I had my first real dream about the baby last night, and even though the baby was ten pounds and I caught it myself on the kitchen floor because I had a crazy fast labor, it was still a very sweet dream and my arms feel a little empty this morning. Soon!

Great shot and very cool dream!!! It is so fun when it all starts to get real isn't it?

that's what nature looks like at our house as well. Every shot has a busy little girl in the background! But I love that...

I think it's a lovely shot :)

Abra said...

I like your shot and the purpose of the plant. :)

And your dream is awesome. I remember one dream I had when pregnant--the baby was trying to get out of my belly and I could see her arms reaching for me. Then she crawled to my back and I had to hold her up while still in my belly. It was strange to say the least.

I think it's a perfect capture. Great job. Hope the baby is a little smaller than that for your sake.

I know you don't know the gender of the 10 pounder you dropped in dreamland kitchen, but if I told you it was for a very special project, would you let me in on possible first initials?
