TWiP: Beaches and Birthdays

A weekly roundup of the images I took for my daily Project 365, as well as the slice-of-life things I posted on Instagram.

This was a good week. Two of my favorite things about May happened this week: our Ocean City trip, and my birthday. Yay!

There are a lot of images this week – I tend to go a little Instagram-crazy when we’re on vacation. So I’m just going to let all of those pictures do the talking today 🙂

So, what is This Week in Pictures?

It’s a roundup of the photos I shot for my Project 365 (one image each day for all of 2015), plus some everyday-life snapshots I posted on Instagram during the previous week.

Ready? Cast your mind back to this time last week…

365: 2015 138/365 – If you get up to pee at 5:15am, you might as well sneak outside and catch the sunrise while you’re up.

365: 2015 139/365 – Well, we packed up the car, visited the arcade, had some lunch, and headed home. Not everyone was happy about the heading home part.

Wednesday

365: 2015 140/365 – As much as I love the colors of the shore, I would miss all of this luscious green if I lived there. Spring just seemed to explode in our yard while we were gone.

Gotta love those parking lot sunsets.
