    5|52: Looking Up

    4 February 2024 / 0 Comments

    THE STORY Honestly, there isn’t a story here. This was, by far, the hardest of the prompts. I didn’t want to take a picture of the sky, I mean, the sky is beautiful, but I wanted something that would contrast with the sky, like a tall building or a plane. I thought it’d be easy as I usually see the crop dusters while traveling between the campuses but nope. This must’ve been the week all the farmers decided to let their crops fend for themselves. So the underside of a faux flower it is. ABOUT THE 52 WEEK PROJECT I get ambitious at the beginning of every year and start…

    Week 11: Photographer’s Choice

    18 March 2019 / 0 Comments

    Welcome to week eleven of my Project 52: 2019 Edition. If you’d like to see the prompts that I’m using, read this post. This week’s prompt is Photographer’s Choice. OK, ok, I know I’ve skipped a few weeks but, hopefully, I’m back. Anyway, this should be the beginning of week twelve, but I wanted to share this photo so… The Hubs and I celebrated our 24th anniversary a week ago and The Hubs had roses delivered to my job. Flowers, candy, a balloon, and a teddy bear. So sweet. I took a lot of pictures of the roses because I couldn’t take them home because The Hubs is terribly allergic.…

    Summer Colors {Photography}

    25 May 2012 / 2 Comments

    Right now I’m obsessed with colors. I’m talking about bright colors that scream summer. I think it’s the change of seasons but I really want to update my living room. Right now it’s done in browns with muted creams, greens and burgundies… Nice for fall and winter but for spring and summer not so much. Do you redecorate seasonally or do you decorate once and let it be?

    Thankful for the Purple Moments {Shoot. Edit. Submit.}

    23 March 2012 / 3 Comments

    Edited using the “Barn Wall” texture from CoffeeShop Barn Textures While walking through the woods at the Conservation Center, I saw this sweet little purple flower poking its head through the dead leaves and grass. I almost overlooked it because the flower was so tiny and delicate, just barely visible. As I studied the flower, I wondered how many others had passed it by? How many people had missed the beauty of this little spot of purple amid all the brown? When was the last time I stopped to thank God for all of the blessings in my life ~ both big and small? 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says that we’re…

    Dandelion {Shoot. Edit. Submit.}

    16 March 2012 / 6 Comments

    Hi, if you’re new here please feel free to look around and leave a comment. If you like, you can also join me and the rest of my friends on Facebook by clicking here. I often wonder what my neighbors must think when they drive past my house and I’m stretched out on the ground taking pictures of dandelions. And by down on the ground, I mean I was literally in the mud when I took the above picture but it was so worth it, don’t you think? I’ve been practicing using the Manual settings and having so much fun (and seriously over exposing) with my shots. I need to…
