Artists Inspired: April 2017: Black

Artists Inspired theme color for this month is Black.  Black should not be hard for me, I love black, it is my favorite color.  80% of my closet is black.  So why did I struggle this month. First off, the day I was going to go and shoot my “black” theme, became Black Friday for me.  I flooded the double story house by accident….

30 Minutes in the Life: March 2017

This month I got to spend 2 days traveling to and from and 3 days in Columbus, Georgia on a staff conference.  We were up there two years ago and it was a great conference to attend and I was glad to go again.  The difference this year was that more of us went and so I drove my car up as well. Like…

Share Six: February 2017: Shadows

Shadows!! Wow, this topic stumped me.  When I go out there is generally me, myself and I, and shadows with people in it is not always possible.  I took a walk at Morikami Japanese Gardens the other day thinking I would find these awesome shadows.  Well not so much. But here are two that I liked from that walk.          …

Artists Inspired: January 2017: Gray

Tis months color theme for Artists Inspired is Gray, and we recently had a few gray days down at the beach.  I love the color gray.  It fits well into my winter colors of black, red & white.  I had a look at the meaning of colors and found this particular line that resonated with what I am going to share today.  It is…

Share Six: November 2016: Texture

I love this month’s theme.  Kim chose the theme Texture.  Kim shared her thoughts on the theme texture: Texture can add impact to images, and can be just as powerful as bold color, leading lines, or dramatic scenery. Texture adds detail, dimension and even drama to an image. For me texture is all around and I see it whether I am walking in the…

30 Minutes in the Life: November 2015

It’s hard to believe that 2015 is almost over.  I am not sure where it has gone.  The year has been full of events, some good, some not so good.  2014 ended on a not so good bang.  4 days before I was due to have foot surgery, Amy had a challenging accident, knocking out 3 teeth and fracturing her upper jaw.  That set…

Tell me a story: November 2015

The other day I walked outside and I thought to myself truly Florida does have snow, it just comes in a different form.  The lawns are covered with tiny white flowers. Either side of us the properties look like this.  They are out in abundance and apparently prolific.  White like flakes of snow little the grass. Today I went outside with my macro lens…

365-2015: One Day at a time…..March 2015

March has been a crazy month and I am so behind but here goes: Day 60:  March 1, 2015 Today was the Renaissance Fair and Ray and I wandered for about 5 hours.  I love the atmosphere, the clothes, the characters.  Ray tried on this little hat and I had just snapped the photo when the owner came up and told me that I…

Tell Me a Story: April 2015

This month my plans fell through. I had planned to go down to Fairfield Gardens in Miami.  However, the weather predicted rain and I did not want to drive 1.5 hours and then walk around gardens in the rain.   Then the actual outing I was going to was cancelled and to be honest I have felt tired lately, and decided to just take…
