Welcome to Life Captured. I’m thrilled to report that the daily photo challenge has officially unlocked a new routine for me. Taking a picture a day has transitioned from a task into a habit that I genuinely look forward to. It keeps me mindful and creative, as I’m always looking for that one special moment to capture. It’s incredibly fun to see where the day takes me and what that final picture will turn out to be. Here is a glimpse into my latest seven days and seven snaps!

Today was the day I went with Adam to do his grocery shopping. Do you remember me telling you about Kevin’s and my grocery store date? Well, here is another great photo op, a bin full of pomegranates!

I was working on my post, I Wish I Had Known. Of the many things I would have done, I wish I had more family portraits taken.

The afternoons are still hot. Riding in the bus, I’m drenched by the time I get home. Today, I thought it would be fun to add strawberries to my ice cubes!

Today I drove the high school band to the neighboring town’s school. There was a 3 hour time wait to bring them back. I decided to find the city’s public library. It was very nice and interesting to see the painted rocks in the landscaping. I found a pleasant area to sit and work on the blog. I would have loved having more time to spend there.

Just had to get the picture. Another hot, hot day for PM bus route. Mr. Mike is adorable. When Mr. Mike is not driving, he’s preaching to his congregation.

I drive this country road every day to and from my home. Farmland, USA!

Above: An antique bicycle that was in the parade.
Left: I had the pleasure of watching my granddaughter play her trombone when the band marched in a city parade. When the band stopped during the parade they formed two lines, one on each side of street to face the pedestrians. Once in place, they danced while playing. It was fun to see.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by Life Captured and look through my latest week of picture journaling! Waking up every day to find that one perfect moment has become such a rewarding routine, and now that it is officially a habit, sharing it with you makes it even better. I can’t wait to see what unexpected stories the next seven days will bring. I’m so glad to have you along for this creative journey, and I look forward to seeing you right back here next week for the next round of snaps!
Yesterday is today’s memory.
Be sure to capture your memory today!
All the best,.

Oh that library is lovely! I love checking out public libraries in other areas and seeing what they have on hand for their patrons.
Yes, the community board is a fun place to see what’s happening! I’ve done a few fun, free things like: Elvis Movie and Dinner; Adult coloring with colored pencils; painting rocks and a few others. This was all done after taking my bus driving job. I have more day time available that in years past, I never had.
I could really eat a pomegranate right now and same, I wish I had taken more family photos over the years! What a great idea to add strawberries to your ice cubes. How great to have that time in the library and the parade looks like great fun!
Something about sitting at a table in a library. It’s so welcoming and comfortable. You know, I’ve never tasted a pomegranate. They just looked neat there in the store.
Thanks for dropping by.
Have a wonderful week.
All the best.
I keep fining references to pomegranates so I think I need to try one. I love your photo of the road you travel every day. It takes me back. And, Mr. Mike deserves some of those strawberry ice cubes! You are doing a wonderful job at finding various and really interesting photos for this challenge.

I probably should try a pomegranate too! The 7 Days, 7 Snaps can be a challenge to get ‘that’ photo. But for the most part, I am having fun. Thank you for following along!
Such a nice week of photos, Debra! I love the strawberries in the ice cubes, such a simple idea. The library was a great find too, and how lovely to see your granddaughter playing her trombone in the parade.
Hope you’ve had a lovely weekend. 😊
Thank you, Jayne. Have a wonderful week!
It’s lovely to see a snapshot of what life is like over on your side of the pond compared with here. We rarely have marching bands, but I remember having to play clarinet for some reason outside in winter. Gloves don’t work with a clarinet so our fingers were freezing. Luckily it was a very rare occasion.
Hi, Emma. Thanks for visiting Life Captured!
Sorry to be late catching up – October has been a very hectic month! I love your family portraits. Nice to have time in the library while waiting for the high school band. How lovely to watch your granddaughter play the trombone in the city parade. #project365
No worries. You can visit any time and as much as you wish! 😉 With children, a person is busy much of the time!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
All the best.
