Project 52 {Week 15}–Sacrifice

web_post_p52_2012

This year my delightful daughter gave up soda for Lent, and as a recovering Diet Coke addict myself, I completely understood the magnitude of this sacrifice.2012-04-09_4191web

Kelsey was gracious (and patient I might add) enough to let me photo-document her first taste of Sprite in over 40 days.

Given the opportunity, I would like to have retaken this photos with little smaller aperture so that I would have a little more depth of field.  I think it would have been a more interesting photo if the bottom of the glass was a little more in focus. 

Good thing she’ll be home again this weekend so I can try it again!

I love that girl!

Now if you’ll excuse me I need to run to the store to stock up on Sprite. Smile

Peace, Kelly

    I like how you got the Sprite pouring into the glass in the bottom photo. I don’t generally like Sprite but your post makes it sound really appealing. 🙂

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
