I’m wrapping up my Week in the Life™ photography with scenes from a very ordinary day at home with Tripp. Looking back at the week, it was a nice change to turn my lens towards home and family and capture little details of this season of our life together.

As always, thank you for letting me share my photos and my stories with you.

When the conflict and chaos and noise of the world get too loud and too heavy, I find sanctuary in my home and yard. On Saturday, I found some quiet in my head and comfort for my soul in simple tasks around the house.

Friday in Photos 📷 I took a break from posting Friday in Photos 📷

I took a break from posting over the weekend, so today I’m catching up with my Week in the Life™ photos. Friday was a very full day and I spent most of at my desk which is reflected in the smaller number of photos I took. But that’s OK because in a way, that also tells the story of the day.

On the documenting side, I’ve been filling in my Week in the Life™ journal and I have some ideas for including the photos and other stories from the days. I’m looking forward to putting those pieces together in the next week or two.

Thursday in Photos 📷 Every year I’ve done We Thursday in Photos 📷

Every year I’ve done Week in the Life, there always seems to be an overarching theme that presents itself along the way. It acts like a melody that plays quietly in the background of my days and subtly directs my attention and my camera.

This year I have been thinking about the rhythms that accompany this season of life. For the first half of the week I think it’s safe to say that the melody in the background has been easy-listening. 👵🏼 Yesterday that tune changed big-time when my grand-dog, Rip, came to stay with us for a few days. It’s time rock and roll now! 😎
