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.

Free evening festival at Montalvo Arts Center. Made it there an hour before closing and was a great activity to enjoy participatory performances by local artists, listen to music by the DJ, take pictures, and look up at the stars. The nighttime breeze was refreshing since we had a heat wave last weekend. More pictures to come later, but I wanted to share this photo first. (I wish I had been patient and taken a less blurry pic, but nighttime pictures are tricky for me).
Happy Monday, everyone!

    Looks like fun was had. Nighttime pics are difficult for me too! 😊

      It was short but fun! Getting out of our hot home and sitting outside was lovely.
      Nighttime pics are another thing to conquer

    Looks fun – a nice pic of Chris and the kids in B&W/night.

      It was a nice respite from the heat and to have some adventure in the evening. We’re total night owls and having something for all of us was a treat! Thank you, Linda. Makes me happy that you like my B&W pjhotos. 🙂

        I do like them – I only used one B&W photo once when I went to a Ford Model A event so used a B&W filter. Last week I used a sepia filter to make the photo look old. We have a concert in the park near my house every Thursday night all Summer. I can hear it from here, even with the windows closed. This is the calm between the storms … one severe storm earlier, one to go (less severe they say and another one Friday). Give me Fall please!

        I think I do remember the Ford Model A event! Is it the one where you were a baby and holding your special doll?
        Sepia filter is great for changing the ambiance of a photo. I think it’s nice to hear the concert in your house every Thursday for summer. Hope the music is not too crazy but a pleasant listen.
        I want Fall for you too!!

        Esther, I was replying to your comment, the lights started flickering, so I ran and shut off the A/C. My internet went out … I think they are doing repairs but I don’t want the A/C to be on … so left it off, hot already in here. Not enough to trip the digital clocks and radio so hopefully not some electrical issue. Anyway, no that was a different post about the classic cruise with the cars and my doll (you have a good memory). This was an event I went to to celebrate the anniversary of the Model-A and all the owners were very nice. I found the post and will send it separately to see how I did the B&W – two pics actually. You don’t have to read the post – it is long and picture-laden.
