Flare Fridays

A few months ago I started reading the blog of maine momma. I have seen many of her photos and always love the perspective and the light, the subjects rock (a lot of times her kids, but also wonderful objects and landscapes). And the Flare. Oh, the flare. There is a Flickr group devoted to it.


I decided to fore go finishing this week for some good old flare. Weather predictions were for a wet and stormy weekend so we spent much of yesterday outside, in the yard, coloring and digging, climbing and coloring some more. I love the way they embrace making lines and swirls and circles, sharing paper and scheming to get a mark on the wall or window when I turn away. What is up with the graffiti tendencies in small children? Or is it just my little hooligans?



Hope you can find a flare for yourself. Turn the camera to the sun, point down a bit and see what you get. You might be surprised at the image you capture.

And have yourself a lovely weekend. Promise I will be back with some finished bits soon. It is all coming together, albeit a bit slower than I thought.

Every Tuesday we would pray for Tuesday, just keep her in mind a little more, put prayers for her before some of the more mundane things that life brings us day to day. Today the prayers continue, I know, and though the content has changed, my prayers are just as fierce.


Please join in praying for Tuesday and the Whitts. There is also a small way to give support to them in this time. Home Studio, an etsy seller, made this necklace for Tuesday.

They have pledged to give 10% of their sales to the family until February 14th. It applies to any purchase of any item in their store and you need to enter the words 'for Tuesday' in the message to seller field when you buy. The pendents I have are well made and it was one way to reach out to a family too far to embrace physically.
