Photos of the Week: August 10

“Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, every day can end beautifully.” – Kristen Butler

This crow has been honing his ability to pick up bread crusts all week. He picks up one, two, three, four, then drops one. It seems he’s figured out that three is his limit and then he carries them away. The bunny has nothing to do with the process but he’s in the yard looking cute.

We are still on vacation. Nonetheless, there is a lot of productivity and creativity going on.

We’ve spent a little time paddleboarding every day this week. I’m not sure what’s going on in the third picture – but the water is pretty cold so perhaps Miss O is tell Mr. D to get out!

Beach time, pool time and son shine!

My kids have been finding me the most beautiful tiny shells on the beach. They get down low and bring back tiny treasures like miniscule shells, a sand dollar smaller than a dime, and scalloped shells smaller than my pinky fingernail. The shells are so tiny that it’s almost impossible to take a clear picture of them. The more that I ooh-and-aah, the more that they bring me. It’s so fun – just like the sign of the week.

    1. Ah, Susan – you know the right questions to ask. No, he hasn’t. But as of this morning, he is wishing he could be a heron so that he could catch a fish that way. 🙂

  20. Wow, what an amazing week! Those miniature shells are adorable! If they collect enough you guys could do some crafts! Maybe press them into air dry or oven bake clay to make embellished beads for jewelry!

  21. Do you get to Whidbey Island very often? I was talking to someone a few weeks ago about all of the islands around Seattle. Didn’t realize it until then. Love the pictures! the kids look like they’re having fun. Bet they sleep great at night after a day out in the open air/ lugging logs, swimming etc.

    1. You are absolutely right about sleeping well after all this fun! We’re all exhausted by the end of the day – but in the best way.

      Yes, there are a lot of islands near Seattle. Whidbey has become my favorite place to go with my kids and we get here about four times a year.

  23. Great to see that you guys are still having fun, collecting shells, and being creative. That photo of Miss O and Mr. D carrying driftwood is fantastic! Are they creating a work of art on the beach?
