Daily prompt // help

Today’s daily prompt on The Daily Post is help.

My husband is an amazing father.  He has so many tales of adventures that he has had both as a child and as an adult.  He has learned many lessons through these adventures and is always anxious and willing to help his lil’ guy experience some of these same adventures.

He helps him learn how to manage the terrain on a mountain bike ride…

Daily prompt // fake

Todays daily prompt for photographers on The Daily Post is fake.

fake // one that is not authentic or genuine.

The first photo is an obvious fake.  A golden egg hidden for my eager lil’ guy to find on Easter morning.  An egg…but a fake egg.

This second photo is an attempt by my lil’ guy to make fake blood.  He wanted to dress up as a zombie for Halloween and this became part of our Halloween decor.

nightTime

Today’s prompt for photographer’s on The Daily Post is nightTime.  For this photo challenge, I searched my archives and selected three photos to share.  If you have been following my blog for even a short time, you can guess that all of these pictures were taken on various camping trips.

Daily prompt // standout

giraffeToday’s daily prompt on The Daily Post is standout.  I am always drawn to the giraffe when I visit the zoo with my lil’ family.  They are so majestic stretching their necks to peer down on all who admire them.  They always standout, never to “fade into the woodwork.”  You can check out some more pictures of giraffes and other animals here.

Daily Prompt // success

Today’s prompt on The Daily Post is success, patting someone on the back, being proud of one’s accomplishment.  When my lil’ family went on our extended camping trip a few weeks back, my lil’ guy amazed me, made me proud, accomplished something he didn’t even know he was capable of doing.  He hiked the majority of the Shavano Mountain trail – a gain in elevation from 9,700 feet to 12,200 feet and 4.4 miles EaCh WaY.
