As soon as I read this weeks theme, I knew who I wanted to photograph. My dad has the most amazing eyes. I can't look into them without thinking of my Grandma. He inherited one of the best parts of her. I love my Dad's face, the story of his life is laid out for all to see. I see parts of my Grandparents and my Aunt's and Uncles. I see hard work,...

This weeks post is going to be short and sweet. We have been busy doing home improvement projects and planning summer vacations this week, so I didn't get out to shoot anything till later in the week. This is the week the dandelions are in full bloom. I know that they are a weed and I can't say that I appreciate it when they pop up in my flower be...

This weeks theme was such a fun one. If ever I want my daughter to willing let me photograph her all I have to do is include water. She took her first swim class at the the age of six months. Since then she has loved anything to do with water. For this photo she is laying underwater in the bathtub. This actually took several attempts to get this,...

We have an upper deck on our house that I rarely use since I have slight fear of heights. This week I washed some vintage clothing and decided to air dry it off the deck. While up there I discovered that some carpenter bees had decided to build a nest. If anyone has ever seen these bees, they are huge. Needless to say, my husband will be removing t...

I decided this week that it was time to clean out the house and have a garage sale. This isn't alway an easy task for me as I am extremely sentimental and some things I have trouble parting with even though I no longer have a use for them. While sorting through my closet I came across some family heirlooms that I had borrowed from my mom. Several...

This week was filled with yard work and warmer temperatures. It truly feels like spring has finally come to stay. My daughter and I took our first spring walk along the beach. This is something we do every year. The ice breaking up on the surface is one of our favorite things about spring. There is something magical about walking barefoot through t...

This weeks theme was technology. Technology is everywhere in our lives today. From the appliances I use in my kitchen to the smartphone I carry in my pocket. This was just a quick snapshot I took of my daughter playing a game on her phone while cuddling one of my parent's chicks. It's amazing how much the world has changed since my own childhood....

My photo is very simple this week and is a symbol of Easter Mornings everywhere. I had a quiet Easter this year, as I wasn't feeling very well. But the spirit of the holiday was still there as we celebrated the resurrection of Christ. ♪ ♫Hear the bells ringing they’re singing “Christ is risen from the dead!” / The angel up on the tombstone said /...

This week was the first it has started to feel like spring is finally here. There are little patches of grass starting to peak through the snow, I can hear flocks of geese passing through, and the deer have returned to our backyard. The biggest event though was the delivery of my parents newest batch of baby chicks. So how could I not use this firs...

There were some exciting changes in my kitchen this week. About two years ago we ripped out the kitchen and have gradually been rebuilding it as I find the pieces that I want. Last fall I purchased a 1940's gas stove and this week we moved in a 1950's hoosier cabinet that my mother located for me. I decided to use the cabinet as the center piece fo...
