He Keeps Me in Peace {Word Filled Wednesday}
This past week and a half has been a tough one for me emotionally and spiritually. My sleep has been more fitful than usual and my waking hours have barely passed without me shedding more than a few tears. I’ve sent up the myriad questions to God about everything. Well, you know, he doesn’t have to answer to me but what he did do was provide me with the comfort that comes from knowing that no matter what I’m never alone and if I’ll just trust in him, I can lie down and sleep in peace. I’m linking up with: Internet Cafe Devotions ~ Word Filled Wednesday Project Alicia ~…

Scavenger Hunt Sunday
Happy Sunday! I hope y’all had a great weekend. Mine was pretty nice. I spent it relaxing with my family. I honestly can’t think of too much else I’d rather do. Are we ready for this week’s finds? Well, here they are… 1. Love This one is from the archives. They’ve been married for over twenty some years. That’s a lot of love ’cause, whew, I’m almost at 17 and there are times when… Let me just leave it at that… LOL 2. Duplicated A picture from one of my walks through the Cape Girardeau Conservation Center. If you’d like to see more pictures, click here. 3. Trend or Trending…

Passion {Poetic Winter Photography Challenge}
I think it goes without saying that I’m passionate about my faith and my family… So I decided to share something else that I’m passionate about that many of you may not know. It’s Natural Hair. I’m in the process of transitioning from relaxed {also known as chemically straightened hair} to natural hair. I don’t talk about it because it just is… Although I think some day I may write something about the love~hate relationship that Black women have with their hair. I’m also passionate about my morning coffee… And having the light hit me the way that it did with a steaming cup of coffee in hand… What could…

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? Yeah, totally should have moved that out of the way before taking the picture. In the second picture, I switched locations because I wanted to try to get that aura again and see what would happen if I just shifted slightly. I kinda like the side light too. I also think that the background is…

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 Feature This is from my archives. I’m sick, there’s no way I’m posting any of my dripping dropping facial features and no one in my family would pose for me. 2. Shadow I took this in front of my house after we returned from church. Maaaan, I just love how long my legs look. 3.…

Warmth {Poetic Winter Photography Challenge}
IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE HERE, PLEASE JOIN ME ON FACEBOOK! A steaming cup of coffee… Warms my freezing cold hands {Edited using “Caramel” texture from The CoffeeShop Blog} “It seems to me that trying to live without friends is like milking a bear to get cream for your morning coffee. It is a whole lot of trouble, and then not worth much after you get it.” ~ Zora Neale Hurston February is Black History Month, so I’ll be trying to share quotes from famous African Americans to go along with my photographs for the challenge. Ohhh, look a little history lesson to go with the pretty pictures… I’m linking up…

iPortrait {Shoot. Edit. Submit.}
This has been a slow week for me. Photographically, speaking that is. I suspect I burned out my creative little brain cells on Tuesday trying to figure out how to make an iPortrait. Gosh, have you seen those things? They are really cool. Mine came out a little wonky but it made me giggle, so I kept it. Have you created an iPortrait? How’d you do it? I’m linking up with Misty and Kim for Shoot. Edit. Submit. If you’d like to join in, the “rules” are simple: The photo must be taken this week {Saturday~Friday} Only one entry per person Must have the “Shoot. Edit. Submit.” button or text…

Against the Wall {This or That Thursday}
This week I hit a brick wall creatively. All the photography memes have fallen to the wayside. And I have nothing left to say. I don’t know if it’s seasonal melancholy. What happened to the springlike weather I was bragging about just last week? Or if I just need to put the camera down and walk away from my blog for a week or two but I’m drawing a blank. Have you ever had a moment when your brain was absolutely positively blank? How did you get your creative juices flowing again? I’m linking up with Deb from Deb Duty Photography for This or That Thursday. If you’d like to…
