Butterflies and Summer Colds
Camera: Nikon D7100 with 55-200mm lens Settings: ISO 100 | f/5.6 | 1/1250ss I know it has been quiet around these parts lately; something germy has attached itself to my family and refuses to let go. It started with The Hubs on Tuesday/Wednesday and got me on Thursday. So I’ve spent the last few days…
Flowers and Favorites {About Me}
Have you ever had one of those days where everything is just meh? You’re neither happy nor sad, bored nor busy? That was Friday. Until I got phone call from the florist asking if I was home to receive a delivery. What?! Who would be sending me flowers? The hubs is terribly allergic to anything…
Autumn Flowers {Photography}
For the past two days I’ve been working evenings, so I’ve been at a loss as to what to do with myself during the day. Sleep is so not an option. I’m used to being up and moving. So I grabbed my camera and started snapping pictures of things around the house, but nothing inspired…
Roses {This or That Thursday}
Evidently, I’m not very observant because I didn’t notice these beautiful roses growing on the side of my house until a few days ago. It makes me wonder how many other things go unnoticed in my home… Guess I should go figure out where I left the kids. I’m linking up with Deb of deb duty…

I simply picked up the camera, aimed and snapped. And while those photographs have made for some wonderful memory makers, that certain oomph…

Crocheted Flowers {Feeling Crafty}
I’ve always been a crafty kinda person. I remember as a young girl designing clothes in a sketch pad. And naming each and every outfit. I used to dream of showing my clothes in Paris, opening little boutiques across the U.S., falling in love with Billy Dee Williams. The last was the result of a…
Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge: Finale
Can you believe we’re at the end of the challenge? Where did the time go? Is winter really just around the corner? *sigh* I’d like to thank our older full hosts for putting this challenge together ~ great job, ladies. And to all of the participants, thank you for sharing your lives and your skill…
Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge: White #NaBloPoMo
I know I said orange was difficult to find but let me tell you, white was darned near impossible. I mean I didn’t get desperate enough to wish for snow or anything but I did have to get creative with some eggs for a couple of shots and dip into my folder of old photographs…
