This has been one beautiful weekend. The weather was gorgeous. So gorgeous, in fact, that I conned talked the hubs into driving me down to the Water Front so I could take some pictures. I needed a landscape picture for 52 Weeks: 2012 Edition, so I pointed my camera at the Mississippi River and started…
Calm {Poetic Winter Photography Challenge}
A verse from one of my mother’s favorite songs. When I was little she used to sing it all the time. How can you not find calm in the midst of such beautiful words? When I’m in need of peace and quiet, I often grab my camera and go to the Cape Girardeau Conservation Center.…
Randomness {This or That Thursday}
Has this week flown by or what? I’m trying to remember what I could have done to make it go by so quickly but, yeah, I got nothing. Maybe it’s just that I’m getting older and time flies… I’m finally starting to branch out and get a little more creative with my self portraits. It’s…
He Keeps Me in Peace {Word Filled Wednesday}

A Photography Tip {This or That Thursday}
Today’s photo tip {as if I’m a professional or something} is to watch your background. I was playing with using natural light and absolutely love the halo that was produced from the bright sun pouring through the windows. But… Do you see the vase of flowers that has sprung from the top of my head?…
The Greatest Valentine’s Day Gift {Word Filled Wednesday}

Scavenger Hunt Sunday
Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you had a pleasant weekend. I spent mine in bed, courtesy of my daughter and her cootie passing. But I’m on the mend and thought doing a little photo hunting might help get the blood pumping. So here they are, my finds for this week’s Scavenger Hunt Sunday: 1. Facial…
