cardinal

Had a really busy day today, so I didn’t get a chance to capture much… But I think cardinals are beautiful and they really stand out against winter’s snow! (sorry for all of the distracting trees…. The cardinal was in the neighbors yard and her house is surrounded by trees!)

Just a “thank you”

 

I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who has supported me and to those who are following the blog! Smile I have over 800 views now!! I truly appreciate the support and encouragement from everyone! It makes reaching your dreams so much easier when you there is so many people standing beside you and “cheering” you on! Rolling on the floor laughing I love you all Red heart I know I have learned so much so far and have so much more I want to learn about my passion, photography! Can’t wait to keep sharing with all of you!!

Day 1 :)

 

graciebug

Just a fun photo to start the New Year… Our beautiful daughter Gracie Smile

Happy New Year!

 

I decided to give the "365 Project" a try! It's a great way to keep track of my progress and what better day to start than January 1st, 2011. (1-1-11... now make a wish!) I'm excited about this challenge and to share this with all of you :)


I have always had an interest in photography but over the last 5 years, I have become more passionate about it. I've done traditional film photography, including developing in the darkroom, but I really prefer digital.


Photography has really helped to open my eyes to a whole different world and see the beauty of things that one wouldn't normally notice, or even pay attention to. When I say the beauty of things - I don't necessarily mean the actual appearance of the subject either - it's more the story behind it.


I think it's important to capture special memories of important events too; such as weddings, birthdays or even a family camping trip. Having those memories to look back on become so important when we're faced with hard times, or even loss.


So thanks for taking the time to read a little bit about a big part of my life. I hope you will follow me through my 365 project! CHEERS TO A NEW YEAR!
