CREATIVE SPARKS — SATURDAY SNAPSHOT — NOV. 5
Good morning! If you’re feeling those creative sparks flying about, perhaps it’s time to join the Saturday Snapshot event, hosted by Alyce, At Home With Books.
Just grab a photo you’ve captured, or one shot by family/friends, and link up.
Last Saturday, I spent the day with two of my grandchildren, Fiona and Noah. Fiona had a stack of photos that she had taken during the summer. Here she is in one that really illustrates what a difference a few months can make! She and her friends had gone biking up the Central Coast.
And here’s a photo we took last weekend.
Now I’m eager to visit all of your shots! Please come on by and share some links.

Love their faces!!
Thanks, Staci….I realized something last weekend. Each of these kids hates having his/her photos taken alone, but together they have fun with it.
Also…if they’re at an event or doing something fun, they don’t mind that either, as illustrated in the first photo.
That first photo could have been from the 70s. She looks all hippy-ish. Great shots and so nice to see your love for thouse grandkids. They’re lucky to have you. Here’s My Saturday Snapshot
Oh, you’re right, Paulita! She does have that aura about her at times. Especially at the beach!
Thanks for stopping by, and I do have a lot of fun with these kids.
One thing that never changes with your grandkids is how happy they always look
Thanks, Trish….that’s sweet of you to say. I am glad that I can spend some joyful time with them…and thanks for stopping by.
Great photo’s! They do look happy
Thanks, Mari…glad you could visit today. Have a great weekend!
happiness
I agree, Patti. My favorite things include happy children. Thanks for stopping by.
Lovely photos – such happy children!
Thanks, Margaret…and, of course, like all kids: they sometimes sulk and throw fits. But usually they are easily persuaded to show their good sides. Glad you could stop by.
Your grands are lovely. Great photos.
Thanks, Irene…so glad you could stop by today. Enjoy your weekend.
I especially love the top photo!
Me, too, Helen. She looks totally blissful in that one, doesn’t she? Thanks for stopping by.
What a great photo. I love the surrounding books and collectibles!
Oh, thanks, Nise. I love the coziness of surrounding myself with books, dolls, and whatever captures my fancy. Glad you could stop by.
I’m always impressed with the amount of time you spend with your family. You’re such a good grandma!
Oh, thanks, Alyce. I do tend to spend more time with Fiona and Noah because they live in the same city. Wish they were in the same neighborhood, as they were when they were babies.
Great photos…I really love the one of Fiona and Noah together, it’s so sweet. Fiona has a great smile, it lights up her face!
Thanks, Amy…I love her great smile, too. Glad you could stop by.
Its so special to have time with your grands. Would love to see our grands more than once or twice a year. Being a Red Hatter, I noticed the red and purple hat. Are you a member of the Red Hat Society perchance?
Not officially, Pooch, but I love the concept…and have read some books about Red Hat Society dames that were a lot of fun. Plus…I love the colors.
Thanks for stopping by, and I wish I could see all the grands as much as I see the ones who live in town.
Great shots! The kids always look good. Is Fiona kneeling by a trash can? If so, it’s very nicely decorated.
Here’s my Snapshot: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/11/saturday-snapshot-november-5.html
OMG, I just realized that this must be a decorated trash can! Awesome, isn’t it? I guess that’s what we can find in beach towns. Thanks for stopping by, Bev.
They look so happy! Great memories in the making.
Oh, totally, Jill. I love these moments. Even though I took lots of pix when my own kids were small, I was always so busy it was hard to enjoy the moments. That’s why grandchildren are such a treasure. Thanks for stopping by.
How nice that you got to spend the weekend with your grandkids! I now treasure the time I spent with my grandmothers and am glad that they and my parents made sure it happened!
I loved spending time with my grandmother, too; those moments with her were like treasures I could remember long afterwards. I’m trying to duplicate those experiences for my grandchildren. Thanks for stopping by, Colleen.
Such happy lovely grand kids. Love these shots.
Thanks, Diane…I do enjoy seeing their smiling faces, too. Glad you could stop by, and enjoy your weekend.
What great smiles!! They grow so fast!!
They do! Seems like yesterday that they were babies. Thanks for stopping by…enjoy your weekend.
That first shot is very clever… posing with the fancy trash bin.
LOL…it took me awhile to notice that it WAS a trash bin! She’s a budding artist, so kneeling next to it seemed really cool. Thanks for stopping by, Leslie.
Very nice shots. Great smiles. Kids grow up so fast, eh?
Oh, they do, Marie. Thanks for stopping by…and enjoy your week.
Fiona is gorgeous and has such a lovely smile. I bet she’s a joy to be with.
Thanks, Kathy…I think so, too, but then I’m biased! LOL
She is definitely a joy to be with, and so far, I haven’t seen any of the “snark” that teens often have. I’ve got my fingers crossed.
