I absolutely love playing with the focus on my camera, whether it’s to create the beautiful bokeh {that creamy out of focus background} that you see in the top two photos or for the selective focus that you see in the bottom two photos. I like the artistic play of both focal points. Do you have…
Where is Spring?
Seriously, where is it? I’m trying so hard to usher in Spring. I really am, but the weather just doesn’t seem to want to cooperate with me. It has been raining almost daily since Easter and the sun has been visible for only small clips at a time. So I figured I’d just add…

Firmoo Eyeglasses Review {#Sponsored}
Disclaimer: I was provided with free eyeglasses from Firmoo in exchange for this post. All ideas and observations are my own. A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Firmoo and asked if I’d like to try a pair of their eyeglasses. After poking around the website, I said “yes”. Afterall, I wear glasses and…
Week 16: Sun Flare {#OurProject52}
You know I’ve spent so much time trying to avoid sun flare that capturing it is now difficult. When I first picked up my camera, I used to get it all the time and I viewed it as a failure ~ my inability to control light. Now I see it all over the place and…
Bohemian Glam Caftan and Jeans
Have I mentioned how much I love caftans? I do. Seriously, Mrs. Roper had the right idea: throw on a colorful dress and call it a day. There’s no need to suck in, you don’t really have to worry about accessories {although she did wear some awesomely large bubble gumball necklaces}, and you’re comfortable all…
1000 Mile Challenge Update
First of all, I’d like to say that the National 1000 Mile Challenge has raised enough money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation Northeastern California and Northern Nevada to grant the wishes of two children with life threatening medical conditions! That is crazy good. And, man, I’m just excited to have been able to help brighten the lives of…

Week 15: Macro {#OurProject52}
I rarely do any heavy editing of my photos anymore. Most of the time I just crop and add my watermark, but something about these photos just begged to be black and white. I’m totally digging them. Do you edit your pictures? What’s your preference, color or black and white? Happy Clicking, Follow…
Week 14: Easter {#OurProject52}
All winter long I’ve looked at this tree standing in our front yard, all brown and gnarly. Sometimes I wonder if it’s dead and we should just cut it down. This year it took so long to bloom that I thought surely it’s time to let it go. But Easter morning, there they were, these…
