Hi! This week is mainly random moments I captured during week 22 of Project 365. The sun shone on Memorial weekend but we avoided the crowds in the Hamptons by staying home Sunday and Monday and enjoying the pool.
An American Robin built a nest on our patio trellis. She’s now been sitting in it for a week or so.
This wasn’t really a random shot as we looked for a dandelion clock with one seed left to accompany a book review I was writing. And my daughter found one! If your child loves blowing at dandelions then The Dandelion Seed is a simple but just beautiful book to read with them.
I loved these pink roses peeking through a fence and shedding petals.
Luce and Theo after school on Friday.
And, inspired by this week’s Love All Blogs Better Photo Project, I decided to take this ‘selfie.’ Just before I took the shot my daughter got out of the pool and walked past leaving wet foot prints which, in a way, added a random moment into a posed one.
Hope you all have a lovely week ahead!
Cheers, Kriss

Love all of these shots. Your children are beautiful as well.
Interesting trying to find a single bit left on a dandelion clock, given most people would be looking for a photo of the full puff one
Kriss says
Thanks Emma – I didn’t think we’d find one but we did almost right away!

Your lovely children having a wonderful time outdoors. Every photo has something special going on.
Kriss says
thanks Fiona – the weather finally has been lovely!
Jaime Oliver says
i am so loving that selfie shot .. how artistic!
Kriss says
he he – you should have seen the angle I had to stand while trying to keep the camera aimed at the shadow – I looked rather bonkers!

Thanks – I only thought it up after reading Annie’s better photo project ideas.

Love your shadow selfie – it’s so sharp and clear. Beautiful photos of the kids as ever.
Kriss says
It was fun to take 🙂
Annie @ Love All Blogs says
Oh I love it! It’s got a touch of the Banksy about it. I love the roses poking through the fence too – you always have such a great eye for a good photo – thank you for joining in and have a lovely weekend x
Kriss says
Thanks Annie – there was something about those roses 🙂

Charly Dove says
It looks fabulous round your pool although I love all the photos. From those roses sneaking through and dropping their petals to the kids after school to your selfie – well done for that! Superb photos 🙂

Fantastically atmospheric photos again, Kriss. I love the one of your two little beauties just kicking their feet in the pool – so natural. Gorgeous pics and good luck with the move!
Angela says
Great pics of your memorial weekend. I love your selfie too “hello”. The birds nest is just the sweetest I bet the kids love it too
Elaine Livingstone says
love the selfie with the footprints, and a dandelion with just one seed must be difficult.
Hope to see some chicks in the coming weeks.
Marylin says
Fantastic photos – the selfie is a genius! 🙂

Dandelion clocks just remind me of childhood. My girls love blowing them, although I try to stop them from doing it on Daddy’s lawn!!! Luckily we live near a big field full of them.
Sarah says
Super pics. Love the shadow one. Very clever.
Karen says
Love all these photos. You have gorgeous children and that last one really made me smile 🙂
Tarana says
The pool photos look so good! That sellfie idea is a creative one, must try it too.
