May 14 - Henry gets ready to sleep

My image of the day is Henry, the cat, again.
He was annoyed I was still not in bed and didn't really pose or cooperate for a picture today. I caught him walking away and I love the shadows and the movement in the image.

May 13 - Magic flowers

On April 21, Mariah gave me some flowers at the office.I brought them home and they make my days colorful and pretty. Today, May 13, they are still pretty and colorful. We change the water everyday, cut the bottom of the stems, give them an uncoated aspirin a day, and the flowers are still gorgeous at home!
Magic flowers, long life to you!

May 10 - Mami laughing

From all the days mami and Edison have been here I have good memories. I think most of the time I will remember their laughs around the house. Both making fun of things and having fun with everything.
Tonight, after dinner, they were laughing at each other about how to "pose" for the picture of the day for my blog.
While I liked the previous picture in the second before this one this moment is much more remarkable to me.

May 9 - Mother's day

Today we spent the day out.
Mother's day, my sweet mami here and we took a hike in Red Rocks Park.
We found a nice shade to take some portraits, and I took this image of mami and Edison under the shade.
They were brave, waking up hill most of the time. No bones broken, nobody felt on the ground and we all got some needed exercise!
We visited a nursery, and then we headed to Monument Valley Park to have a picnic!
And it was not over yet. Mami got her new netbook, and we went out for dinner.
A great day with my sweetheart, Eve, Edison and my wonderful mami!

May 8 - Sand dunes

Today we visited the Sand Dunes National Park, in Colorado.
About 170 miles from home, they are the tallest dunes in United States, and a very important park to preserve the natural ecosystem that has worked for thousands of years in the area. Water melts from the snow and flows through the dunes, taking sand in the current. The water slowly deposit the sand far away from the source where it started, and then the strong wind blows it back, shaping those huge dunes.
A beautiful place, where our eyes feel happy to rest for some time.
Ethan and Evelyn crossed the cold water. My mami, Edison and I didn't have courage to get our feet into the water, but we appreciate the beauty of the place.
