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

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?

Egg~Head {Shoot. Edit. Submit.}
The theme for week 5 of Project 52 is Surreal. And I had some really great ideas but I couldn’t figure out how to go through with the execution, so last night, this was what I came up with: I merged a picture of myself and a cracked eggshell using Photoshop Elements 10, then I applied the Orton Effect. I wish I had lightened the colors a little so you could see the grass and everything, but I think the darkness gives it a haunting surreal quality. What do you think?

Tools of the Trade {Shoot. Edit. Submit.}
I was never much of a pink lipstick girl. I prefer browns and berries but lately, I’ve been playing around with brighter/softer colors. I’m still not completely sold but I’m trying… Do you change up your lipstick colors or do you stick with the tried and true? I’m linking up with Misty and Kim for Shoot. Edit. Submit.
