One morning, on our off-day from preschool, we heard a lot of big machines and trucks outside.
So we investigated...through the front room window.
Turns out, there was a water leak somewhere along the pipeline and the crew was getting to work on it.
The kids loved watching all the cool vehicles dig and move, and they liked watching the men get into the giant hole.
It was a pleasantly surprising event to watch on a gloomy day!

I know this is ridiculously blurry, but I love the background and colors, so that's why I'm sharing this shot...plus, nearly all the leaves have fallen off this tree, so retaking it is not an option.

The theme at Simplicity this week is 'daydream' - I was really at a loss for an awesome interpretation of that. So I chose this image.
Those are lovely Katie especially the leafy one. My boys when they were younger would have been glued to the window aswell. What a beautiful colour of leaf colour you have at the front of your house - is it the same tree as in the 2nd shot?
ReplyDeleteSo I love the first shot but wow - I really love that last shot. So simple, but wow.
ReplyDeleteLove the second and third shots. The colours of the leaves are brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI was in love with the first shot until I got to the second...WOW!! So stunning! And I love the stoplight photo.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! The colors of the leaves is spectacular and absolutely love the stop light - nice composition!
ReplyDeleteAnything to keep the kids occupied!
ReplyDeleteI like the traffic lights, sometimes I daydream at traffic lights and I am abruptly taken out of my dream by the car behind me!
Take care. xxx
Katie, big trucks and cool diggers are a momma's peace on some days...especially when they're near the house, near enough for the kids to be safe and momma to have a moment of refresher. I really like the second shot, regardless of blur...I think it creates a mystery, a beauty of colors, too. Sometimes, we need to step outside of what we think we should be and just be :)
ReplyDeleteMy kids love watching workmen too.
ReplyDeleteThe stoplight photo is simplicity itself. I love it!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter runs to the window every time she hears the garbage truck. It just fascinates her. Go figure.
love seeing the kiddos looking out at the fall beauty. Reminds me...I gotta snap a pretty fall pic before the leaves are all gone and they just about are! Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteAll 3 of them are sooo good! The colors of nr2 i amazing - love them. The first one makes me wonder what they are thinking and nr 3 is so simple and so kreative :)
ReplyDeletePerfect shot for daydreaming!! I find myself doing that at stoplights all the time! Great photo!
ReplyDeleteThese are so great. I love them all. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe street light is so a daydream moment. Who hasnt sat at a red light and never daydreamed before. Great caputre!
ReplyDeleteEspecially like the first and second.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the children are so easy to entertain. Great capture. I really love the second shot. It really doesn't have to be that crisp since the color is so vibrant. The last, simple shot is just perfect.

Love the leaves! I feel that they are one of God's many surprises for us!! Enjoy those preschool days, my friend!
ReplyDeleteHugs!

Wonderful fall photo! I love the colors.
ReplyDelete=)
PS. My kids always used to love big trucks when they'd be working in the neighborhood. Free entertainment, for sure!
beautiful colors of that tree. Pretty blurry as well.
ReplyDeleteand I think it hit the nail on the head with the stop sign day dream.
Love your daydream interpretation!
ReplyDeleteI think the blurry on that second shot totally works! :) I love just another day one as well. Reminds me of mychildhood.
ReplyDeleteThat kid photo is so adorable - and who doesn't like to watch someone else work from inside?! The orange leaves are lovely and soft, not blurry.
ReplyDeleteBy the way thank you so much for turning me on to all of these photography challenges! I think I am going to be addicted! :)
ReplyDeleteLove all these shots...great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat series! I especially love the story behind the first and agree with the 2nd - sometimes you just like what you got even if it's not "perfect".
ReplyDeleteI love blur and that shot is just gorgeous to me!
ReplyDeleteI love your take on day dream. It reminds me of hearing a horn honk that brings you back to reality and you realize your still sitting at a light after it has turned green. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots!!!! Your edit on the last one is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGREAT interpretation! i have had a couple of dreams while staring at those lights!
ReplyDeleteYou are super duper talented. I'm a little jeal.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the lines in your daydream shot! It's a really nice image.
ReplyDeleteThese are great. I love the first one, it reminded me of my son, when he was around a year old watching the road grader go by.

I really like the color on your leaf shot.
