2012 Photo Challenge: Week 8

ByKristen Koster

Week Eight of our 365 Photo Challenge!

As promised, some pictures from somewhere other than my backyard. I wasn’t able to post much earlier this week because we went to Austin, TX. We used to live there before we moved here to SoCal 8 years ago. We got to catch up with a few old friends and even DH’s cousin who was also in town for work. We got to visit the kids’ first elementary school and ran into a couple teachers and one of the nurses who is retiring this year. In Austin, they have a saying, “If you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes.” Well, on Thursday it was around 90 degrees. Friday the high was 61 degrees. It was amazing to see the things that had changed (new malls, neighborhoods going to seed, TOLL roads!) and everything that hadn’t. Amy’s Ice Cream and Rudy’s BBQ were still the favorites of the day.

Week Seven of our 365 Photo Challenge! Kind of an odd mix subject wise this week. Lots more flowers. The camelias are almost done, but lots of others are just beginning to bloom. I’ve noticed I’ve been in portrait mode instead of landscape mode a lot lately. Not sure why. Everything I took today was…

Social Media: Where You’ll Find Me

ByKristen Koster

This week my accountability group’s How I Write series asks, “Which social media platforms do you do? Which do you prefer and why?” I’m not an extrovert by any means, but I can almost pretend to be one on the internet for short periods of time. I do have a tendency to lurk, but I…

2012 Photo Challenge: Week 40

ByKristen Koster

Week 40 of our 365 Photo Challenge. I fell off the wagon in a big way during September. Everyone here was sick at the end of August, just in time for the school year to begin. It took about 3 weeks to fully recover from the plague that descended upon our house, and even then…
