Sometimes I am still amazed at the beauty of this place. Growing up in California was fabulous–beautiful–but a trip to the mountains took a couple of hours, and I certainly didn’t have anything like this in my back yard: AJ and I joined some friends for a day trip to a local Falls and lake…

Give Me Your Best Shot, America
I have a confession to make. I didn’t take many pictures this week. It was just one of those weeks. When I went through my pictures from the last 7 days, I found some rather boring photos. I had the pictures of my gutters that desperately needed cleaning (the pressuring of my husband finally paid…
Pool Hop
This week’s MckLinky Blog Hop theme is Favorite Photo. Considering that I do a favorite photo feature every Friday and I tend to take tons of pictures, I figured that I’d include a couple of my favorite pictures from this weekend. I honestly wish I could spend every day at the pool. The weather lately…
Welcome, Welcome!
Welcome MckLinky Blog Hoppers! Looks like there are a lot of you out there. In honor of the very first blog hop, this week’s theme is Introductions. I feel like I’ve done quite a few introductions over the last few months. Like this one for my recent SITS spotlight day. Or this one for the…
Give Me Your Best Shot – Womenomics
My favorite shot of from this week is certainly not the most technically proficient or beautiful picture, although the women in the picture are both proficient and beautiful. This is one of those occasions when my favorite shot became my favorite because of the story and the memories behind it. There is a great group…
Give Me Your Best Shot (or Two)
I typically pick one favorite shot of the week to display on Fridays, but I couldn’t pick just one this week. On Wednesday, AJ and I spent the day surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery I can imagine. One picture wouldn’t do the day and our experience there justice. This day needed more…
Give Me Your Best Shot – Baby Doll
I was sure that all of the pictures that I took of my friend’s little girl on Tuesday were going to be flops. She’s a gorgeous little baby doll, but, well, she wasn’t exactly thrilled about my camera. It took a good 30 minutes for her to be able to look at me without screaming…
Give Me Your Best Shot – Benihana’s
Yesterday, I had the privilege of photographing the wedding of a former babysitter and the daughter of a good friend of mine. I’m still working on those photos…..but these untouched shots from our lunch at Benihana’s were some of my first-round favorites of the day. I am still loving my borrowed 24-70mm L lens. Granted,…
Welcome to My Blog!
I’ve got to admit….I was pretty excited to get an email for Heather letting me know that my turn had come to be the featured blogger on SITS. But on the same ticket, I was kind of terrified. What do I say? Am I ready? What do I wear?! (If you happen to not know…
Give Me Your Best Shot #17
This was the hardest week of the year so far for me to chose a favorite photo, simply because I have not been taking pictures of anything interesting. Believe me, you do not want to see any more photos of my basement or the condemned house next door. Yesterday afternoon, I walked to my backyard…
