202/365 ~ In the Evening | Landscape | Sunset | Peaceful
My favorite part of camping is the evening campfires. Sitting around with family and friends sharing happy conversation and listening to the fire is so peaceful for me. Our favorite treat are campfire doughnuts - my hubby makes them the best! SO good!

201/365 ~ Black & White | Tones | Grayscale | Impact
Once a year we get together with some dear friends of ours and go to a state park to camp for a couple of nights. We always look forward to this trip together and always make the best memories! These friends of ours have twin boys 2 years and 4 days older than my boys. Poor Eve is the only girl but she keeps up just fine. 200/365 ~ Simple Pleasures | Small Luxury | Pamper | Goody
Simple pleasure? Getting to Pinterest projects! I mounted my 10th anniversary photos on some rustic boards (we celebrated our 12th anniversary this year so that tells you how back logged my Pinterest projects are)! We put these in our bedroom tonight. I love them and that handsome man who pampers me by helping me do these projects. 199/365 ~ Swimming Lessons | New Skills | Can't Be Too Safe
Our school offers swimming lessons for 2 weeks in the summer. They bus the kids right from the school to a community center about 20 miles away, the kids swim for an hour, and then they bus them right back. We haven't taken advantage of this until this year (waiting for Evette to be old enough) and I am so glad we did this for them. They are learning so much and that makes me feel wonderful! I know that these skills are especially important because of where we live. You can't ever be too safe around the water. 198/365 ~ Big Sky | Land | Tree | Landscape
Oh the splendor of this land we live in! We are so blessed. Genesis 1:8 God called the space "sky." And evening passed and morning came, marking the second day. 197/365 ~ Imperfection | Roll With The Punches | Texture | In The Moment
This melts me to the core. My boys are especially not fans of reading. This weekend they begged us for a book and we gave in ONLY with the deal that if they don't finish reading it by the time school starts they will have to pay us back (it was only $13.00). That has been a huge motivator and they have had these books in their laps since we bought them on Saturday. They are saying they really love them and I am hoping this may be the beginning of a love for reading. Eve has always loved looking at her books and reading so I don't worry so much about her (she takes after me). This is only imperfect because it's with my cell phone and it's pretty bright in the back window). 196/365 ~ Negative Space | Simple | Uncluttered | Single Subject
I realize that this doesn't necessarily fit today's idea but it's necessary for my POTD. I have been having the best time working with my hubby this summer on some side projects that he took on. Today, we laid 3100 feet of in floor heat tubing. WOW!! What a job! We completed this goal tho and will be coming back once the homeowner (a friend of ours) gets the framing up. 195/365 ~ Prompt Free | Annual Party | Luna Gets To Join Us | Fireworks In The Backyard
We have a prime spot for the fireworks that our town does each year the weekend after the 4th ~ right in our backyard. So each year we open our home to all friends and family who would like to join us and we always have a blast! Luna has been so good off her leach now! It's awesome! 193/365 ~ Contained | Eye To Eye | Insect | Close-Up
Found these pretty little bees all over these purple flowers on my walk today. I couldn't get a photo of them facing me so this is more of a "moon" rather than eye-to-eye. I just snapped this one with my cell phone. 193/365 ~ Relax | Take A Break | Breather | Carefree
I love when I can sit shotgun, take my shoes off, and rest them on the dash. (My hubby on the other hand, isn't so thrilled when I leave little toe prints on the windshield). LOL! He really doesn't mind. |

This is my FOURTH challenge! I completed an entire 365 in 2014 - then in 2015, I tried to do something different and failed miserably so after finishing 2016 successfully I just had to keep going in 2017! I am part of an amazing group of talented photographers who post an image from an interpretation of a prompt that we receive every day in our e-mail. It's so neat to see how differently a person perceives a simple word or concept and how they translate that into a photograph. I enjoy this challenge very much and I am looking forward to seeing what 2018 brings! You can view my past projects by clicking the links below for each year. CY365
