Today I had a different sort of picture to share. Since this week has been Spring Break for me and my kids, we’ve had a lot of adventurous outings. Yesterday, my friend, Safire, and I and our 8 kids (combined) plus her dog drove up to Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia. It’s one of our favorite places to visit! Here’s what I came back with:
We found a metal fence propped up next to a hole in a bridge and the kids each took turns getting inside to take “jail” pictures. Twizzler got inside and immediately posed like this, and I came away with a very interesting shot! Not my typical mommy photo. Maybe I was drawn to this shot today because I am feeling blue about some news I got today. Mom and Dad, I’m thinking about you guys!
There were several other fun shots from Spring Break. This is just a hint of what we did this week:
Now it’s your turn. What did you do this week? For those of you who haven’t played along before, GMYBS is not a contest, and it’s for any level of photographer. It’s simply a fun way to show off the favorite picture (or favorites) that you’ve taken this week. Read to find out more about Give Me Your Best Shot….And come back to leave the link to your best shot below (please link to your actual Give Me Your Best Shot post). And Grab my button(s) here and link to me so that we can get more people to stop by!

Harper’s Ferry is such an interesting place. I didn’t appreciate it when I was younger; I’d love to go back and visit as an adult. Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!

I might just have to do that! :) Thanks!
It better not be a happy contest, though, because this picture is seriously depressing!
Thanks! I hope to see you back soon!
Thanks! It’s cool to get such supportive feedback! :)
Even though I know the story, it’s kind of hard for me to look at it too much. Makes me feel sad for my boy!
I know just what you mean about that picture. Eventhough I was the one who took it, it still makes me feel so sad looking at it. It’s not very often that I come across a picture that makes me feel such strong emotion!
That would have been hilarious! When we put the almost-2-year-olds behind the fence, one of them pouted. SO funny!
We really have had a great week, although it has been super tiring! Happy Easter to you, too!
Thank you! About everything. ;)
That picture is totally growing on me. But it makes me want to cry. I think I’ll save it for blue days, when I really need to bring on the tears.
I’m glad I stumbled across your Blog…it’s great! Sorry your day was so BLUE….hope mom and dad are ok. Thanks for sharing….you’re fun to follow!
I love that first picture. It is amazing. You should enter it in a contest.

That is an amazing shot! Very emotion provoking. Wonderful edit.
OMG that picture at the very top of this post is just… breathtaking. It’s one of those shots that’s nearly impossible to take your eyes off of.

I love that B&W shot! Gives me the chills even though I know your kids posed for you. It looks like something out of a museum or history book.
Your collection of Spring Break photos are great too.
Sorry you’re feeling blue. Take in some of those gorgeous spring colors near you to make you feel your rosie self again. (((HUGS)))

I am so sorry about your news. You know I’ll be keeping you all in my prayers….
That first photo os stunning. It reminded me of a child in a concentration camp. Sad.
The rest of the photos (and the first) are all so beautiful. You have such an amazing eye!

P.S. Scratch the ‘kind of like it’. I really like it. It’s very artistic. Like something you’d see in Life magazine or something. :)

That’s definitely not your typical Better In Bulk shot, but I kind of like it. I love the edit.
Love the collage of pics too. Looks like this Spring Break has been a great success!!
