I had a great idea – pictures in the orchard when it was in full bloom. The only problem – I live forty miles from the orchard, and I never know when it’s in bloom. I drove down one day with high hopes – after all, everything else was in bloom – only to find it dull and lifeless still.

So we went to the castle up the road.

And the kids played, and I conned them into sitting for a few pictures against the beautiful rocks of the castle.

Wyatt and I hit Barnes and Noble (a staple for our date nights, I know, living on the edge!).

And I came across a magazine that had the most beautiful photo collages. Sigh. It filled my arms with adrenaline, and stuck a perma grin on my face as I came to know that such things existed. I resolved to try my hand at it.

Today I finally had a half a second – and it took a little bit longer. But oops.

Here it is. I started without any idea of how it would turn out. I think it turned out a little eery. I am not one to immortalize dead children in art. Creepy.

So I titled it “Anticipation”

as in – before.

Like maybe Olivia was so excited and anticipated all the things earth life would be for her.
