Candid.

I've never understood the "Candid" photo. Usually when I hear about "Candid" photos it is the photos that someone snaps of a group of people, where most are unaware that their photo is being taken, several are mid-conversation with mouths gaping open, one or two have very strange or seemingly grumpy expressions on their faces, and one person realizes that there is a photo being taken so they are looking directly at the camera and smiling very cheeseily. If cheeseily isn't a word, I think it should be. I'm usually not a fan of this kind of candid photo.


This candid photo, however, made me smile. It was taken on Thanksgiving day. We had just finished our big Thanksgiving feast, and the cousins decided that we should go for an after-dinner walk. This is me... and my tall, handsome husband.


This photo was taken by my cousin, BCP.

No Photography, Please.

I've found that the majority of the blogs I read are the ones with photos. They don't have to be particurally amazing photos, but just enough to capture my attention as they illustrate the post.

With the realization of what it is that I really enjoy in a blog, I have challenged myself to always post a photograph to go along with my posts.

But you know what I have discovered? I don't bother writing if I haven't taken any photos lately. I have plenty to say, but I don't take the time to write it out, because I have no photos to go along with it. Sad, huh? And a lot of unnecessary pressure.

So here you go. A post with no photos!
