It’s been a long time since I’ve participated in Scavenger Hunt Sunday! And just so you know this hasn’t been easy, I’ve taken most of these pictures at 11 something at night. Last minute much? But I really wanted to play along. If you’d like to participate, all you have to do is: Take a…

Photography Challenge {One in Thirty}
Hmmm… I think I’ll call this one “Monkey Love”. Truth be told, that is the ugliest monkey ever created but I love monkeys, so I had to have him. I merged a picture of Jasmin that I took yesterday with a picture of the monkey that I took this morning to form the picture you…
Photography Challenge {One in Thirty}

Pears {This or That Thursday}

If you’ve never had them, for the love of all things good and delish, go buy yourself a box of Jiffy Cornbread mix and make some right now. Really, stop reading right now and go…
Photography {The Best of 2011}
This year, my interest in photography was piqued when I took a picture of the hubs while walking around downtown Wilkes~Barre, Pennsylvania. It was like something inside me came to life and I kept thinking I can’t believe I took this picture but I didn’t really take photography seriously as a hobby. I’ve since graduated…
This or That Thursday {Getting to Know Missouri}
Two days ago, while out driving with Miss 18, I got a little lost and ended up in a town called Burfordville. Burfordville is a sleepy little historic town which boasts one of Missouri’s few remaining covered bridges as well as a mill that was built in 1800, damaged during the Civil War and later…
