sing like wildflowers

My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

Cee’s topic photo for the week

Below are some photos that I associated with Cee’s example:

California Science Academy outdoor play area

Candid photos:

summer ’22: Ellis gave me permission to share this photo. I felt conflicted taking the photo at the time, but to me it was a beautiful moment between father and daughter. She burst into tears when she saw Chris a day after surgery. I felt he choked up too but he usually masks it with smiles and jokes to make her laugh. candid: relief, joy, overwhelmed, being known and seen
Color palette: design at Van Gogh’s Immersive Exhibit, SF: winter ’22

Thanks Cee for hosting this challenge! Have a great weekend and take care.

Thank you readers for stopping by and I hope you all have a splendid weekend. Please take care of yourself and slow down to enjoy the summer days.

Peace and blessings, Esther

    That’s a nice collection of photos Esther – the first one and bottom one are the same painting topics and the word “moods” might describe the pictures of the kids. That is a tender moment of Chris and Ellis. A lot of emotions pre-surgery and post-surgery and hard to keep them bottled up inside without spilling over just a little.

      Great observation Linda! You organized the collection of photos well and “moods” describes the feelings well. I love how you articulated it so well.
      It was a tender moment between the two and Ellis tears up when she sees that photo. Although it was a rough time, I feel like we’ve learned so much and have come far. It’s only been a month yet it feels like it was a long time ago. Time helps and heals!

    Yes, time does heal … Ellis and the rest of the family are made stronger by each medical ordeal. That is a beautiful picture of the two of them.

      Thank you Linda! I remind myself that we have a different life situation, which calls for creative living; yet sometimes I wish it didn’t have so much uncertainty. So is life!

        Yes you do have a unique life situation. You have learned to make the best of each day which is good for the leaner times of inactivity and uncertainty.
