I didn't take a lot of photos this week. Everyone has had summer colds which have left us mostly house bound. So I found this pretty dragonfly and this gross bug second skin(?).
Also if anyone has any advice on getting kids to eat dinner, please comment on this post. Thanks.Also go to Sarcastic Mom's weekly winners to check out some great shots.

Those are great shots, the first one is so detailed!
Hope everyone is all better now!
Hope you are all feeling better soon. I love the dragonfly.
great shots. the link for how to get kids to eat dinner didn't work for me, so i'll leave advice. we use natural consequences...if she doesn't want to eat then she's hungry or we sandwich it with, "only little girls who eat (name of food) get dessert. We also try to present at least one item we know she'll eat. good luck!
Hope the colds are gone - no fun! Love the dragonfly - I've not yet gotten a picture of one. Nice job!
Nice shots - yeah, the link doesn't work. I would make sure the kids aren't snacking too close to dinner. If they're hungry before dinner is usually ready try to have dinner ready earlier - or let them eat in courses - making sure veggies and meat are included in their "snacks" that is really dinner. Does that make sense? Also, yeah, natural consequences - if they're not hungry, fine, but if they get hungry later I'd just offer them their dinner (re-heated, of course).
Great photos, the dragonfly is very pretty and I like the cicada (that is what the animal that shed it's skin was) shot, very rural looking. :)
Love the dragonfly. I never seem to have my camera at the right time to get cool bug shots!
I love them both!
