I have joined up with a wonderful group of photographers from The Bloom Forum to challenge our creativity each month and post in a blog circle (if you follow all the links in the post you will come all the way back to mine).  Each time we will be using images inspired by a different theme or idea.  This time it is STORIES.  My mind was racing with ideas for this one but I kept coming back to documenting a trip to the library.  I have always loved libraries and books {and reading!} so one goal of mine as a parent is to pass on this love to my son.  There is something inspiring about visiting a place that is full of stories and imagination.  The idea that you can open a book and be transported to another place and time never ceases to amaze me.  I get a sense of anticipation when heading to the library where I wonder what treasure in the form of a story I will find.  My son has a love for trains that hasn’t diminished as he has aged so his request on this visit was to find books about trains.  We used the card catalog {in computer form of course} to look up book titles then skimmed the shelves in search of books about trains.  When we had our treasured books in our arms we found a great spot by the window to settle in for that ride to another place.

Can you tell he was totally over having my camera out at this point?  It was still nice to document a real part of our day.  A part of our day that wasn’t planned or styled.  A part of our day that shows our real life just as it is, red hoodie and all.  Be sure to visit Jayme Franklin | San Francisco CA Lifestyle Photographer next to see what kind of stories she has to show us this week.
