Budding Photographer!

November 23, 2013 by NZ Filbruns Leave a Comment

Our eight-year-old borrowed a camera yesterday from his sister and went around the place taking pictures of anything and everything. He wants to make a book of these pictures so he can remember this place! I asked if he would let me post some of his pictures, and he was happy to grant permission. So, enjoy his first set of pictures!

The boys’ museum.

The pullets we bought

More of the big garden.

My Rosemary plant–I’m hoping I can move it to the new house.

Ginger likes to sleep in the strawberry bed.

The photographer! A geranium by the porch.In other news, we’re working towards moving. I’ve packed a grand total of five boxes this week (up to 32 altogether), and did a lot of sorting and pitching. That feels good! We’re still working on sleeping quarters; we have a bid in on a sleepout. The auction closes in 44 minutes. I’ll report on the results another time!

Update: I had a phone call, so didn’t get this finished, and now the auction has closed. We got the sleepout! Someone else wanted it, too, but weren’t willing to go as high as we had decided on. It is a 20-foot shipping container that has been insulated and lined, with a glass sliding door in one end. Just a plain shipping container is more than we’re paying for this, and then we’d have to convert it yet.

    Good pictures….he has a good eye for photography. The museum made me remember a girl I once knew who had a museum in her parents basement. 😉
