I've been meaning to post this picture for about a week. It is from Sunday before last, during our big winter storm.
Rebecca made a snowball and thought it looked heart-shaped. She then worked on it a bit and asked me to take a picture of her creation. I was more than happy to photograph it along with her brightly smiling face. As I recalled it was shortly destroyed in the epic snowball fight happening in the backyard.
I thought this picture would nicely finish up this month's MCP Project 12 theme of Love. It is of a little girl I dearly love that created a token of love.

MCP Project 12: Love and Valentines
This little present was what Rebecca gave her teacher. Her teacher is a perfect match for Rebecca and they both truly appreciate each other. It is a wonderful thing when a student and teacher click, fourth grade has been the best year for my girl.
So understandably Rebecca wanted to give Mrs. S something special. Over the weekend Rebecca made more of the chocolate covered Oreo truffles and it was decided that a little container of them would be very appropriate. Rebecca placed five truffles in a little plastic container and I wrapped it all up in tissue paper.
I think Rebecca was very proud of the fact that she was giving something that she had made. I liked the fact that her little act of generosity was unprompted and mostly of her own doing (wrapping with tissue paper can be tricky I thought I would spare us the frustration that would follow if she did it herself).

MCP Project 12: Leap... Sort of
This picture from April 23, 2010 would have been a perfect choice for this month's MCP Project 12's alternate theme Leap (and not too bad for the primary Love). Sadly it's not from this month and is ineligible.
Bummer.
For a bit of background on the sculpture head on over my post from April 2010 when I first featured this particular work of art. I featured the other picture back in 2010 because of the rainbow, but I think compositionally this is the better photo.

MCP Project 12: Raindrop Resolution
So far it has been an unbelievably mild winter in Virginia. It has been 50s and 60s all week long and I think it hit 70 today. Last week, during the morning walk I take with a few other people in the neighborhood, we noticed that there were quite a few daffodils in bloom. I resolved (ha! there's that theme word again) to take a few pictures before the temperature started to drop.
It took a few days for the weather to cooperate and for me to remember my camera. I finally got my moment after a rain shower this morning. I really like the details I captured of the raindrops on the flower's petals and the bright crisp light. I went back a few hours later and the blooms were all cloaked in shadow. It really behooves you to move quickly with the variability of natural lighting, when you see the "shot" you must not dawdle.

MCP Project 12: Resolution
So it's a new year and a new photo assignment group. This year it is title MCP Project 12 and will be on a monthly format. I think the weekly themes overwhelmed the mods and they are dialing it back this year. It is possible to still do a weekly submission (and I will try to!), but the relentless pace of a new theme each week has slowed down to one per month.
This month's theme is resolution, which is something I'm not that into. Oh I do believe in bettering oneself, but making New Year's resolutions is not what I do.
That said I had to come up with something and decided that to laugh more and have fun would be good ones to work with for this theme. I ended up submitting a series of pictures showing Nate starting to laugh. He was watching Captain Sparklez YouTube and I was nearby with my camera at hand. (And yes I already used the second photo for a post on Wednesday, but you have to admit it is too good to not use.)
I don't know how it'll fly over at MCP Project 12, but I really like the resultant linked sequence.
