You Capture: Anything Goes

Originally, I planned on still tying my photos together with a theme even though this week's You Capture was a free for all, but I couldn't really come up with a theme. So instead, I have a very loose theme called: "Photos I took this week that I really like."

I've been working on a Christmas present for my mom and in the midst of doing so, Luke and I used leaves from my parents' burning bush to make a heart.

While at their house, we walked through the woods where Luke was enamored with this truck. This truck was in the woods when my parents bought their house, and it's so much a part of the place now that if you look very closely, you can see that the tree in the foreground has actually grown through a center of one of the metal parts of the truck.

There are many things that I dislike about our house, but what I do like is the view out the back windows. It's peaceful.

And of course, the obligatory pictures of kids:

p.s. Today is Sarah's birthday. You should most definitely wish her a happy birthday because she is so very special.

My grandparents have an old, old, old snowmobile by their barn that looks like that truck.
The woods have slowly taken it over and plants are growing through it. It is like nature is claiming for it's own.
I love your photos!

When did Tommy get to be so big?! He looks like a little man in that picture. Love the truck. What stories it could tell if it could talk.

Happy birthday to Sarah! Your pictures are simply beautiful. Also, even though this is the first time I've read your blog, I feel so much love for you because of your caring gesture for my sister, Sara. The simple note and necklace brought hope back to her. There are no words right now besides just Thank you.

Your kids are so adorable that when I got to their pictures, I almost forgot how amazing your first three photos were - and they are amazing. The truck one, though, is special because it's so unique.
