I've been a big fan of Six One Way since Stefani and Eren started chronicling the weeks with three photos, each one telling a small piece of the story of life as the mama of three young boys. Their simple yet stunning photos speak for themselves, both separately and together.
I was thrilled to see that they've invited others to play along in sharing a week in the life of the family in the form of a photo triptych. I was looking for a photo-making spark and I think this might be just the thing that prompts me to point my camera around my house, despite the lack of good natural light this time of year.
That said, I've found the mosaic maker to be a bit addicting. I couldn't stop with the one for Six One Way tonight, but instead had to piece together two more crazy quilts of images from the weekend. 
Between liquid and solid on the calm grey lake. Special thanks to Nana and AJ for the babe-sitting that allowed for the slow and carefree meander along the beach with my sweet.
At the start of the John Beargrease sled dog marathon - the 400 mile race honoring the man who delivered mail along Lake Superior's North Shore by dog sled in the early 1900s. Once again, I'm amazed by the outdoor happenings in my hometown. And, I'm so grateful for the recent gift from E -- Jan Brett's new book featuring Aloo-ki, a Inuit musher. My little one was thrilled to have a chance to ride, chattering about Aloo-ki and the huskies all along the kid's track.
love. love the lake photos (as always). love the peeks at all 3 of you!

Those photos of the Lake pull at me in some primal level.... I want to be able to look out of my window and see that grey and blue frozen landscape. Thank you so much for sharing your view!

These are simply lovely. I agree with H. about the Lake having a primal pull.
Hmmm, the mosaic maker is really addictive isn't it. I'm enjoying having the focus of participating in six one way .

Wonderful photos! I especially love those lake shots. The gray is so soothing, even though I am finally getting sick of gray. It's nice to be reminding again how much I love it.
Stay warm, my friend!

Wow your photos have a way of making me really miss the winter. As a MN girl in TX I find myself yearning for just a taste of the cold and snow.

We just watched Snow Buddies yesterday and the whole time I was thinking of you and these photos.
