thank goodness for the water

most who know me know that i’ve been having a hard time here in tampa. i really want to just pretend we’re moving to germany this summer and start packing things up. but the reality is that we have no idea where steve will be stationed next and the kids and i very well could be here in tampa an extra year by ourselves, to get kiele through high school.  i’m hoping we will know something regarding steve’s next assignment by december.

with all of that said, one of the things that always makes my heart happy and keeps me sane while here, is shooting in the water. it feeds my soul more than i can even explain. i think about it constantly. i long for it. i ache for it.

here are some photos from an evening spent in the water, with the littles and my friend, jen, when she was visiting us a couple weeks ago from atlanta. i wanted to post these earlier, but ended up with a flu bug that kicked my butt — and i’m still battling.  anyways…

i think it’s fascinating to view our two sets of photos — how very different the feel / mood is between our photos, yet shot together, many of the frames fired within minutes of each other…

and yes, i do think about the fact that there might not be water at steve’s next assignment location, but i’ll deal with that when the time comes and…probably be quickly planning my vacation trips back to tampa. lol.

i did edit some images in color. maybe i’ll post those tomorrow.
