Valentine's Day


I got flowers for Valentine's Day but it was a few days later when I finally got around to photographing them. They are a bit sad but still beautiful. :)


Well, actually half of these flowers belong to my mom.
I decided to just take pictures of them all together...made an impressive display.
;)








They were so pretty. I am glad they are bulbs that I can plant come spring. I will undoubtedly be able to enjoy them for many years.



~Happy (very belated) Valentine's Day

Cute kids






I was invited to a three year old's birthday party the other day and was inspired to take some pictures. Such adorable children. Fun stuff.

WInter continues...with some sunshine!


Icicles like these can be found all oer town...although I imagine most of them will fall by tomorrow seeing as how it is going to be in the 40s!

Exploring Lightroom


Life has most certainly not been boring lately. Sometimes I wish it was .
It seems like one minute I am scared of what the future might hold and the next I am impatiently tapping my foot saying "let's get this show on the road!"


I got a new computer over the weekend so I am busy getting everything customized and switched from the old machine to the new one. I am grateful for the new one (with more hard drive space) but that is a chore and a new laptop takes some getting used to.
I also purchased a couple new programs I have been needing and yesterday a friend came over and taught me quite a bit in lightroom. Seth is a great photographer and I so much appreciate the hands on learning vs. muddling my way through trying to learn the program. If you have been keeping up for any length of time on here you will know that I would have continued to put off learning the program if he had not come to show me how.
Anyway, since he wanted to work with some "new" photos we did a quick photoshoot in the fading light before starting my lessons. Suzanne posed it up in the backyard for about ten minutes while we snapped like crazy and that is where the pictures of this post came from. I learned to edit "Seth" style but I am planning on working out my own system very soon.


I did edit this one all y myself today. Yay. Lightroom is awesome...you should try it.
