week 52: roids

marie: you know it's springtime on flickr with the plethora of photos of flowering trees. i've limited myself to only one polaroid of a magnolia tree this spring, which was really hard. i think they are the prettiest trees, besides the willow tree, which is my favorite. since i've used up my magnolia card, i took a picture of the neighbor's tree- does anybody know what the name is? really pretty, but i think they sort of smell funny.

naomi: marie got me a pack of polaroids. i can't resist taking some of america's blue skies and neon signs. and bunting!

next weeks theme is birthday. because april is the birthday month of us both, and the transatlantic lens project turns a year old this week. thanks for spending the last year with us!

week 51: two

marie: her baby etiquette was gentle as a deer, and she is one of the smartest 2 year olds i know of. you should view this photo large, you can see both naomi's niece and my son have a case of the grumpies.

naomi: these two are destined to be together in the future. my neice and marie's son.

next week's theme is roids, chosen by naomi.

week 50: white

naomi: since i met marie, i think of her every time i see spring blossoms.

see her choice for next week? 'two'? that could most definitely be the two of us since in a sudden change of events, this time next week, we'll be on the same continent, in the same state, in the same city.

marie: billowy lace makes a beautiful subject. i'm sure if our trees were already flowering, my choice would have been identical to naomi's. twins for life.

next week is two, chosen by marie.

week 49: rainbow

naomi: that's the london eye, they lit it up like a rainbow on friday but i don't know why.

marie: i'm addicted to painting/repainting the walls. some might call it indecisiveness.

next weeks theme is white, by naomi.

week 48: plans

naomi: i long for there, she longs for here.

marie: she longs for here, i long for there.

next week is rainbow, chosen by marie.

week 46: eyes

naomi: aw. how can i compete with that beautiful boy? yesterday was the first sunny day in what seemed like 10 years so i really did spend a long time with my eyes closed, just basking in it (with the cat).

marie:  what can i say, except those wide eyes are my life.

next weeks theme is memories, set by marie.

week 43:delicate

naomi: we're back! did you miss us?
it's been snowing intermittently here, there's not much that's more delicate than a snowflake.

marie: My delicate tendrils of neglect might just make it.

next week to be chosen by naomi.
