It’s week four of back-to-school. Devyn has her first year of all online, live classes, and Wyatt and I are plugging away through the sixth grade curriculum. The littles are going to a preschool for a few hours during the week, which gives us a small but much welcomed block of time to focus (quietly!) on studies. This past week we were able to finish our schoolwork by Friday, which gave us a few hours to do something out of the ordinary. So, after dropping off the short fellows, Wyatt and I took off for a little nature walk; The former armed with his new camera drone, and I with my dusty old Nikon. Sadly, my 35mm lens no longer focuses automatically, so until I’m ready to fork up a bunch of Benjamins, I get to enjoy adventures in manual focusing with poor eyesight. But, I actually really love the dreamy quality to a slightly unfocused image, especially when the light is glorious like it was for our excursion. And, it was such a treat to spend some one-on-one fun time with one of my own. (Also a treat to make time for photography again!) …An altogether blessed day.
