The Daily Post (July - December 2012) - # - Carole Murray (irishmurr) Photography

I'm half way through my sixth year of taking daily photos. I'm still taking the photos, but am finding it difficult to have the time each day to post them. So, while I may lag behind, I usually try and catch up at some point.

To see my daily photos from the first half of this year, click here.

irishmurr > Bath time ....
Maeve always likes to do things her way. (September 3, 2012)

"Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way."
~~ Paul Anka

I think most of you knew this was coming. I've had several disappointing occurrences with this website lately, culminating with the double price increase -- which prompted me to try out some other options. After sampling Zenfolio for over a week, I'm ready to give it a try. So this will be my last daily photo here on Smugmug. I'm keeping my account since it's paid through next year. I'll be stopping in and saying hi to all of the friends I've made here, and will definitely be keeping up with you on facebook too. I've been with Smugmug for over nine years and it's very disappointing to feel the need to move, but seems the world is changing and guess I have to change along with it. Here's a link to my daily photos on Zenfolio, if anyone would like to stop by:

irishmurr > Meredith will be starting pre-school next week, so I thought I'd do some first-day-of-preschool photos at our Labor Day cook-out. (September 2, 2012)

"Labor Day is a glorious holiday because your child will be going back to school the next day. It would have been called Independence Day, but that name was already taken."
~~ Bill Dodds

irishmurr > We started the Labor Day weekend with a car show at the Mad River Nickel Plate Railroad Museum in lovely Bellevue, Ohio. (September 1, 2012)

"If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower."
~~ Mark Donohue

irishmurr > Ava was celebrating her birthday this weekend and started it off with a sleep-over with two of her friends. When they hit the pool I was there, camera in hand. (August 31, 2012)

"Most of us can remember a time when a birthday - especially if it was one's own - brightened the world as if a second sun has risen."
~~ Robert Staughton Lynd

irishmurr > My flamingos are being overtaken by the impatiens! :-)
(August 29, 2012)

“I must have flowers, always, and always.”
― Claude Monet

irishmurr > Enjoying my flowers on my front porch. You'd think Mother Nature could have given me a perfect daisy to photograph. But instead, she made sure that one petal was missing ..... :-)
(August 28, 2012)

Since it's a busy holiday weekend, I didn't have a lot of spare time -- but what little I've had, I've been using to try the free 14 day trial period at Zenfolio. I must say I'm very pleased with the website, and even better, the cost. I think it's a shame the way Smugmug is treating it's customers. I have been a member for over nine years and have two accounts, one personal and one for our car club.

Shame on you Smugmug.

"It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.”
~~ William Blake

irishmurr > Sisters .....

Here's another photo of two adorable sisters. These are Olivia's cousins and I snapped this shot at her birthday party. I was taking photos of Alex when big sister Riley came up and gave me a shy little smile, while hugging her sister. (August 27, 2012)

"Is solace anywhere more comforting than in the arms of a sister."
~~ Alice Walker

irishmurr > Hard as it is to believe, our Maeve Margaret is getting ready to start pre-school. (August 26, 2012)

"You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives."
~~ Clay P. Bedford

irishmurr > The gang all got together today to help Olivia celebrate her fifth birthday. The theme of her party was Minnie Mouse, but I happened to spot Mickey at the bash too. (August 25, 2012)

"The prime purpose of being four is to enjoy being four - of secondary importance is to prepare for being five."
~~ Jim Trelease

irishmurr > Yesterday's daily was Ashley's back-to-school photo -- so today it's Ava's turn! (August 24, 2012)

“The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.”
~~ Plutarch

irishmurr > Here's one from our back-to-school photos. I let the girls write the name of their school, grade and date on the chalkboard -- and Ashley even added her room number! (August 23, 2012)

"Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves."
~~ Abbé Dimnet

irishmurr > Time to do some back-to-school photos! (August 22, 2012)

"Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself."
~~ John Dewey

irishmurr > We had friends visiting from out-of-town, so we took them to the Great Lakes Brewing Company for lunch, and a tour of the brewery -- courtesy of our son, who just happens to work there. :-)
(August 21, 2012)

"Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer."
~~ Dave Barry

irishmurr > Another shot from our picnic in the park ..... (August 20, 2012)

"Every child you encounter is a divine appointment."
~~ Wess Stafford

irishmurr > Today was our annual steak roast for the Cadillac Club. And, yes, I'll be sharing Cadillac photos too...... at some point. :-)
(August 19, 2012)

"Grilling takes the formality out of entertaining. Everyone wants to get involved."
~~ Bobby Flay

Bath time ....
