#ourbackyard | take two

Today is a photo post.  I loved this theme so much I went out and took even more photos in our backyard.  This time it was in the morning.

I had coffee and she made a nest for her little bird.  The bird gave me kisses. So did she.  I snuggled her close and kissed her freckles while she giggled.

It was a welcome distraction, a change of pace...something new.  This morning was epic in its simplicity.

Don't forget to visit Mandy's blog for more info on this awesome #hashtagthisweek project.

#hashtagthisweek with Turquoise Avenue!

I am so super excited to bring #hashtagthisweek to you guys.  A few weeks ago Mandy asked if I would help her bring this weeks theme to life and of course I said yes.  I am going to share a little blurb from her blog to help describe it because the way she said it makes more sense than anything I could think up.

"#ThisWeek | A weekly photo & story prompt for memory keepers originated by Mandy Elliott of Turquoise Avenue designed to encourage others to take a photograph and spend time creating a story based on the weekly theme. Together, in collaboration with other talented creatives, #ThisWeek is a free, fun, and inspiring challenge allowing you to join in any time, any way that best fits your schedule. Play along by sharing on social media under #hashtagthisweek or by linking up via TurquoiseAve.com." - via Turquoise Ave

Fun, right?

The theme this time is "our backyard".  I made a page for this week but the rest of my photos and more information about this week is over on her BLOG.
