Shutter Love Tuesdays @ Trendy Treehouse – Cyan as Alice

I haven’t taken part in Trendy Treehouse’s Shutter Love Tuesdays in a while, when I saw this week’s theme is Blue I immediately thought of this photo..

This is a photo I took of Cyan (named for the colour – blue) dressed as Alice in Wonderland (blue dress) back in June, when I had just finished her pinny to complete her Alice outfit.

This is one of my most favourite photos of Cyan, I tweaked it a little for Shutter Love to enhance the blues.. See the original photos here..

Shutter Love Tuesdays @ Trendy Treehouse – Cyan’s snail

Today I am participating in Trendy Treehouse’s Shutter Love Tuesdays again. This week’s theme is Pets.
You can click the photo above to enlarge.

Cyan found this little snail when we were doing some weeding in our backyard, they took an instant liking to one another! She became very attached to this little creature, exclaiming “he likes me!” and “he’s so cute”. She was wandering around with this snail on her hand for about half an hour, then I caught her trying to sneak it into the house! So I had to gently explain that he couldn’t be her pet and he wouldn’t be able to live in our house.

Shutter Love Tuesdays @ Trendy Treehouse – Japanese maple leaves

Today I am participating in Trendy Treehouse’s Shutter Love Tuesdays again. This week’s theme is Nature.

I took these photos this morning in our backyard, looking up at the beautiful blue sky through the leaves of my beautiful Japanese maple trees. You can see the seeds, called samaras or ‘maple keys’; I am quite excited as this is the first time my three favourite trees have produced seeds – nature in action!

I got a bit carried away actually and took quite a few photos! It was hard to pick one favourite, but I decided on the photo above because I love the composition – and the way the sky looks blue on the right side behind the green maple leaves, and looks white behind the red maple leaves on the left.

Shutter Love Tuesdays @ Trendy Treehouse – hands of friendship

Today I am participating in Trendy Treehouse’s Shutter Love Tuesdays again. This week’s theme is Friendship. You can click the photo above to enlarge.

When I saw this weeks theme – Friendship – I immediately thought of this photo of Oliver and Cyan, a favourite of mine, taken a couple of years ago on a family day out. They were so cute walking around holding hands!

Shutter Love Tuesdays @ Trendy Treehouse – bouncing kids and I

Today I am participating in Trendy Treehouse’s Shutter Love Tuesdays again.
This week’s theme is MOTHER’S LOVE.
You can click the photo above to enlarge it.

I wasn’t sure if I would participate in this week’s Shutter Love at first – I know that I have very few photos of me with the kids – I'm almost always the one behind the camera. Anyway it gave me a good excuse to look through photos from the last couple of years, which was nice!

This photo I found is of me and my two kids bouncing on a trampoline in a local park, taken by my sister a couple of years ago, when Cyan was only 2 and too little to bounce on the trampoline by herself – of course she wanted to bounce with Oliver, so I bounced too, holding her hands so she wouldn’t fall. Doesn’t this just sum up a mother’s love? And we all had great fun bouncing!

Shutter Love Tuesdays @ Trendy Treehouse – Cyan

Today I am participating in Trendy Treehouse’s Shutter Love Tuesdays again.
This week’s theme is CHILDREN.
You can click on the photo above to enlarge it if you want a better look.
This is a photo of my daughter Cyan, taken a few years ago when she was nearly 2 years old. She was/is so cute!
You can see in the photo she is busy scribbling away at some masterpiece (and telling me all about what she is drawing while I took the photo), she is now 4 - nearly 5 and really amazing at drawing.

Shutter Love Tuesdays @ Trendy Treehouse – Waterball

Today I am participating in Trendy Treehouse’s Shutter Love Tuesdays.
This week’s theme is WATER.
You can click on the photo above to enlarge it if you want a better look. This is a photo of my son Oliver, taken a couple of weeks ago when he got to have a go in a Waterball (I don’t know if there is a special name for these?) which he had been dying to have a go on/in. I was very proud, as he got loads more movement around the pool than any other kids! And he had a ball doing it! (Sorry – pun intended!)
