Through the eyes of sisters - Topic: Flight

This week my sister chose a lovely topic again, full of possibilities.  I saw so much that would make a good subject but could not stop the speeding train that was my life this week and take a photograph.  I saw a young boy flying a kite on the beach with his golden lab running like crazy chasing seagulls who themselves took flight whenever this high-on-life canine got too close.  I also was in Boston and saw this incredible wall painting of birds - that would have been good too.  My sister did an amazing job, here is hers:

I love the suggestion of the movement of the basketball player with soft blurs, I like the anchor trees and the hoop - it all works - GREAT job.  Heids is doing a photography course and has a paying job lined up so will soon be a professional.

In the end, I snapped a few photos before school this morning.  Ryan has been folding paper planes - remember those phases when you were in school?  The marbles, the games, this one week and that the next.  Well, now its origami.  Here are his little hands at work - while his dad was yelling the bus had arrived:

And here is the result:

The bus had left at this point, and I was in my red plaid pajamas on the front lawn taking photos for my sister - that's commitment!  And speaking of commitment, Ryan has so much faith in this particular plane - and it does fly better than any of the others - he made a video for youtube, so I am including that too even though we recorded it on the fly a few weeks ago and not specifically this week.

That would almost be all for me this week, but I did happen to catch the 'flight of a flag' as I was delivering yesterday - through the car windshield while I was driving and it came out pretty well so I am including that too and signing off this week - the crazy is not over yet and I have a long to-do list to attack!  See you next week - it's gonna be a fun one!
