This week's theme is "simplicity." It is hard for me to find anything simple about my life! I am sure it is the same for you.
Summer is in full swing in South Texas, no matter what the calendar states. We are in the lull between the end of school and the start of harvest. There are full days around the barn, getting the combine, grain buggy, and tractors ready for the onslaught of the rest of the summer. And free time? It seems to fill up with baseball.
It is such a simple hallmark of summer - a game involving a stick, a ball, and a glove. Sure, there are lessons and camps and cages, batting gloves and fielding gloves and and catcher's mitts, sacrifice flies and pickles and grandslams. But, when you get down to it, the essence of baseball is the simplicity of two boys throwing the ball, a basic game of catch. One can always find an abandoned ball somewhere in our yard. If you are lucky, there is a minimum of dog slobber encasing the leather. ;)
Denver family photographer Lisa Turner is the next photographer in the blog circle. I can't wait to see how she views simplicity!
Ooooh... I love it! So colorful and perfect! Great choice for this week's theme! :)
