Today I’m participating in Liv Lane’s Follow Your Bliss bloghop. Liv writes, “Every Friday, I will share a list of the bliss in my midst, reflecting on moments over the past week where I’ve caught myself in a sense of wonder, contentment, and true joy. It’s like a gratitude list, but rather than just being thankful for the things I have…I want to be thankful for the way I feel – even if it’s fleeting – and celebrate whatever brought me to that bliss.” Feel free to join us!
Here’s where I found bliss this past week:
I just loved watching my daughter wear her new rain boots and splash around in the puddles of a recent storm… 
I stayed up way too late reading because I just loved this story… 
I had such fun photographing a one-year-old’s first birthday (see more here), kneeling and smilng and just soaking in all the joy and sweetness…
It was fun to see what creative clothing combinations my daughter would come up with…
I designed and printed CD case papers for my photography clients (feedback welcome)…
I have loved learning from Build a Blog You Truly Love and meeting new friends and following new blogs…
Happy weekend everyone!
P.S. I just saw this on a Shutter Sisters post and love it enough to share with you:
“Photography is not like painting. There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop! The moment! Once you miss it, it is gone forever.”
absolutely delicious list:)
thanks for the beautiful share,
Jennifer
Those rain boots!!! I want a grown up version of those. How delightful indeed!
I know! I agree. I was envious of her ability to splash through the puddles.
I really like the artwork on your blog. Very cool!
Thanks for reading.
Naomi
These are such fun photos 🙂 I love those boots and that tutu!! (I wonder if they come in my size?!?) I’m off to check out that book…

Kristin,
Thanks! I know… that tutu is so colorful and fun. I’d probably need a four-four though.
beautiful photos!
Thanks, Michelle. I love your site too… so colorful and inspirational.
LOVE your photos! I am so enjoying reading people’s bliss lists 🙂
I know! Me too. BTW, when I have dinner already made, I too am so relieved. 🙂
Hi Naomi, I’m jealous you are reading a BOOK!! I really need to start taking one to bed with me but I just want to sleep. I think an earlier bedtime would help me out here! LOVE the birthday photos. That tutu looks so sweet on your little girl. My youngest is now 17mths and I feel like it has gone really fast. Keep capturing those memories, you take such beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing, Belinda
Thanks, Belinda. I know the feeling of no time. I only read at night too… Last night til 1 am and boy did I regret that today. I’ll look at your blog after my daughter’s bedtime. 🙂
Lovely list and photos – the rain boots are CUTE!
Thanks, Laney. It was a necessity since she seems to be drawn magnetically to puddles. 🙂
That little one year old is a cutie…and your daughter is, too. So much bliss for you this week!
Thanks, Leslie. I really like your art and your blog too. I just joined Pinterest today and I’m following you now too. 🙂 I held out as long as I could.
Love the rain boot photo and yes most defiantly a blissful moment! Lovely list.
Love this, Naomi, and so glad you’re participating in the Little Bliss List! Love the pic of that little tush peeking out from the tutu – so darling!
Thanks!! So fun.
thanks for sharing your bliss, and sharing your joy – it helps to make the world a better, happier place. I enjoy your blog
Thanks, Janice. I really hope so.
I enjoy your photos very much too!
adorable photos of that sweet baby!
Thank you, Barbara!
My book list is already to long but am now intrigued about your book… Must check it out. Thanks!
Ooh! What are YOU reading?
