Yearly Archives: 2013 Week 2 in my series of Thankful Things… (Week 1 is here.) Day 8: …for our birdie who gives kisses. Day 9: …that we’ve been remodeling for exactly 4 weeks now, and “cooking” in the dining room still feels more like a camping adventure than a drag (though I admit I’m growing tired of the […]  This month’s assignment in our little group was to create a portrait with the face not in focus. In my head I saw all these dreamy, graceful images filled with lovely shape and colors with absolutely nothing in sharp focus, but I just couldn’t figure out how to bring my vision to life in photos, […]  Ever since Emily was very little, part of our nightly routine has been what we call “Thankful Things”. At bedtime each night, we tell each other two things that happened in our day, or that exist in our life in general, that we’re thankful for.

Because these are the memories I most want to savor […]  September is childhood cancer awareness month, and the women in CMpro decided to “Go Gold” by dedicating some of our CMpro Daily images to the many families struggling with the unimaginable. So today I found one of the last blooming flowers in my yard, grabbed my Lensbaby and the macro tubes and filters, and tried […]  In our Project 12 blog circle this month, we focused on creating a portrait that didn’t include a face. I think a portrait should demonstrate “who a person is” in some way; it should show a facet of their personality. And since Emily started high school this fall and has her first-ever locker, I decided […]  I was excited to play with this month’s challenge, and then life happened… First Em was sick and then I was, so this was the only “motion blur” image I ended up with.
