March Ten on Ten

I continue to love this ten on ten project–-a passionate group of lovely and amazing photographers from the United States and Canada taking ten images, one hour apart on one day out of the month, documenting life as it happens around them. On the tenth of every month, we post our ten images, and if you follow our links, you’ll make it around the whole circle. Enjoy.

SPRING is in the air, and clearly that is all I focused on this month during a regular old work-at-home day this week. I did take a photo of my neighborhood’s first daffodil on my morning run, but that was via iPhone so I didn’t add it here. But it sure is pretty and yellow!

A new decorative creature that crawled up on our shores recently, chosen by Will.

You mean you DON’T keep your earthly fortune in a LEGO bank?

It was a beautiful warm day, and I kept ducking outside to find photo subjects each hour, like this birch tree.

With such a mild winter, my dear Rosemary is flourishing. She’ll bloom with tiny purple flowers in May, they are delightful.

The boys were sorting their sea glass before school this morning, and one jar in particular seemed worthy of documenting today. This summer’s goal? A red piece and a purple piece.

The bane of my work-at-home existence these days.

Touring the yard, I discovered lots of green coming on the thyme.

You caught me—my Christmas cards are still up! My kitchen is under construction, so they hide the places with no trim these days. Plus, I love them. Seen here–two mystery ten on ten members! I love getting cards from all kinds of folks, but I am lucky to have cards from so many excellent photographers, too!

After school found us at the annual science fair. Henry was obsessed with the “fruit batteries.”

(It would take 40 grapefruits to power a lightbulb.)

Boy, is that husband talented. He can even write BACKWARDS with a flashlight. (Word choice his own when put on the spot–“write something! with a flashlight! slowly but not too slow!” This was the first and only take!

Happy spring, all!

    These are perfect, Anna. Love that you and I both kept popping outside to add the outside world to our day. The light writing is perfect! I have never learned how to do that- you have to share the secret. Love the sea glass and all the other photos too!

    Love them! I’m impressed with Brian’s light painting! Love the lobster pillow. Might need to get me one of those on my next visit.
