I have discovered that as a blogger (if I dare use that term!) I am going to need to get better about taking photos. I have never been diligent about recording the moments of my life. I have hopes that some day I will become a better photographer, that I will be able to capture what I am feeling and seeing at that exact moment. But most of my attempts come out like this:
How did I even get a picture of this?!! And check out this winning clip:
I mean seriously! This is my documentation of a stellar day at Tally Lake. Earlier this week, I took Aaron and one of his friends to go cliff jumping. I sat in my tube and worked as spotter yelling “clear” each time they were ready to take a turn. It was a such a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the lake perfectly calm and clear and I have very little to show for it!
I have never really minded not documenting my life in photos before. The landscape we live in here in northern Montana is too big for me to even process, much less condense into the screen of my iPhone. People do it for sure, but I’m just not one of those people. So I have resigned myself to hold memories close to my heart and mind knowing that they will never be on my Facebook page or tucked away in an album.
But now that I have started this new endeavor and I’m leaning into the Gap, another goal of mine is to become a better family historian. And part of that includes documenting our lives in photos and videos. So bear with me, my friends, and hopefully I’ll eventually be able to show you what I see! I did finally get one good one 🙂
Smiling and breathing tonight as the setting sun shines through the trees xxoo
