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…
Pattern Mixing with Pixie Pants
I’m so ready for the remote for my camera to arrive! Seriously, do you know how hard it is to set the timer, run, and pray the focus is still set? I know it’s possible {back focus, I think it’s called} but I’m so not that skilled. So, for now, it’s slightly blurry pictures and…

Maxed Out
If you’ll remember, last week I wrote about how my daughter said that my style can best be described as Mori Kei and I said “Sometimes.” Well, this is why. In my heart of hearts, I’m a hippie. I remember telling my mom that I was born in the wrong decade, she totally should have…
Week 12: Photographer’s Choice {#OurProject52}
This week’s theme is “Photographer’s Choice”, so I’m sharing a few of my favorite pictures and the stories behind them. The photo above is of my youngest daughter; she taught herself to play the ukelele. I’m so impressed and proud of her – she’s so incredibly talented. I love listening to her play. And from…
Mori Kei? Bohemian? Still Working It Out
A few days ago, Miss 21 (my daughter) introduced me to Mori Kei. She says this somewhat accurately describes my style. When I looked it up, one of the first things that popped up on my screen was an image of a bird skeleton that had been turned into hair décor. What the heck have I been…
