1. Classic Still Life
Classic, I don't know. Too bad it wasn't "bokeh bonanaza". The Lilac blooms aren't really flowering yet, so I focused just in front of the few that were.
2. Self Portrait
I did take a number of self portraits this week, some that I adore and some that are hilarious, but I have something way better for you.
Let me set the scene:
The day had been much too long and overstimulating, it was way past bedtime, the car ride was nowhere near over... I had exhausted every trick in my bag, including cycling through every ringtone on the phone. I was determined to keep her from going off the deep end. Finally in desperation, I handed her the remote, slapped my big camera into automatic and aimed it in her general direction.
What a mom won't do when the situation requires it...
She fired that thing like it was a machine gun.
And gleefully too.
May I present to you...
The Bean's very first self portraits:

Her brother's expression pretty much sums up our entire
3. On the Floor
No detail escapes her notice. And she won't stop noticing it until I notice that she noticed it. All you moms know exactly what I mean.
4. Lines
If The Bean's selfies didn't count for item number 2 above, well then, here you go. With a bunch of lines.
5. Fresh
One of you dear readers will notice immediately (you know who you are) that these aren't my tame domesticated baby asparagus. I scored them in my jungle of a swampy backyard, so I had every right to pick them.
One of you will be thrilled (ummm...you also know who you are) that I hid them from my family, so

Best mom quote...ever. Seriously.
& that is the CUTEST selfie yet by far!
Cute photos but most I like your on the floor !!!!! It is so in childs perspective ! And your lines is from real life !!
We call one of my niece's Beans. :)
And I love the On the Floor. Great angle. And I love love kids curiosity and exploration - though sometimes I wish they would do it on their own time, haha.
these are marvelous. you are so talented! will you teach me how to take pictures? :)
my faves are the lines and the floor, although bean's selfies are pretty stinkin' cute. :)

LOVE the selfies. So cute! And her brother's expression is hilarious.
You really crack me up and I love that you've got Bean started so soon on the selfies. She'll be a pro in no time. Wonderful wonderful job this week my friend!
Your last photo is great and the dof in your first AMAZING! But I have to say my favorite is "lines" I just adore it, its like a 21st century family photo, you know with holding the camera up. Really cute.
Jess, I ALWAYS love your photography! Loved every shot on this post! Great Job!
What a gorgeous still life shot! :)
Man look at her go!! She's already great at selfies! Your images are beautiful as always, but that first shot is so dreamy, I just love it! Great work!
Sigh... I miss our lilacs. Yours are so lovely. I wish I could reach through the computer and smell them.
Love her selfies! What a great way to keep the peace. :)
these are great photos, especially bean's selfies!
What beautiful shots! I love how you've captured *real life*, making for some really precious captures! I especially enjoy your lines & on the floor! Have a great week :D
Those selfies are SO CUTE!! :D
And I love the "on the floor" shot. And yep, totally know what you mean. ;)
LOVE the lines shot, too! :D
Great shots! Looks like you have an aspiring photographer there...
Awesome. I went to an asparagus festival this weekend. Amazing! I didn't know you could just snap it off and eat it fresh. The things I learn! ;)
Oh Jess! You know how awful I am with blog visiting...and I haven't seen your lil' Bean in so long! She's GORGEOUS! Beautiful, lovely...what a sweet little gal! Oh, I wish we could get our tornados together - LOL! What a pair they would be. ;-)
(And your most recent post...do you know how much I LOVE nurseries?!!! *swoon*)
There's just so much I wanna say. But I always say too much. So here are the highlights:
1. the lilac one is so good it makes me feel nauseated
2. car rides with kids. *sigh* i hate them. Great way to keep her busy
3. who in the world is that obsessive about your blog and your photos that they would notice what kind of asparagus you're picking? ; )
