Winter is here!

Here are a few of the beauties that winter brings. Many of us don't really care too much for the cold and snow (and the boots, mittens and snowpants that it brings with it if you have small children!). However, even in the coldest times of the winter, God graces us with a dazzling beauty that is nearly irresistable! It calls me to don the boots and hat and gloves and grab the camera and tramp through the drifts to capture that perfect spot of God's creation. I hope you enjoy!

As summer draws to a close...

A few moments of quiet around here with two children in school, one napping and no one asking for my attention... Aaahh! Smile.

Here are a few pictures that have been waiting to be posted.

1036 - B&W Lily

A favorite photo of mine is below. We had this one printed as a 16x20 metallic print, then framed it and hung it in our newly decorated bedroom. It has the warm tones that go with the tans/browns, yet the grass just about pops out of the picture. I love the sense of peaceful retreat that it invokes. We had it printed with the words from Philippians 4:7, a very special verse to both of us.

I hope and pray that each of you is enjoying the bright sunshine, the cooler breezes and the beauty of God's wonderful creation.

Whew!

Wow - I can't quite believe it's been this long since I've posted, but winter is not a great time for photography (except for snow and icicles!) and we had a major home project that has taken up nearly all my extra time for the past few months. I've been able to slip out and get some shots, but haven't had much time to work with them or get them posted. However, in a desperate attempt to decompress this afternoon, I finally got to do a couple of them. I hope you enjoy!

You can almost smell these big delicate beauties in the pictures! I hope no one is allergic to them! :) They smell so good outside. I think I even got a whiff from across the yard!

I hope you are all having a blessed spring and Lord willing, I'll be posting a few more in the near future. Thanks for looking!

A Summer Favorite

These are a favorite flower of mine - something that I can remember from little on up!





1018 - Red Canna

Solitude

You can almost hear the birds softly singing and the water gently flowing by in this quiet picture. It simply speaks peace.

Christmas is coming!

This last week was busy for us (it always is, this time of year!). I was able to get several prints framed and ready to put out at a "Holiday sale" in Illinois. Thanks to my wonderful mother-in-law who is willing to monitor the table for me! These prints would make wonderful Christmas gifts to those you love. They come in 4x6, 5x7 or 8x10. You can get them framed, just matted, or just the print alone - however it works best for you. Remember, you can also get them customized with text of your choice. And again, all profits go to charity. E-mail me for more information.

Does anyone know the name of this flower?? I love the amazing creation that God has made for us to enjoy, but have no idea what a lot of them are! I'd love you help in learning more of the names and traits. Until then, I am content to enjoy their beauty!

Have a wonderful day!

November 1st

I can't believe it's already November! This morning was really nice with warm weather and some sunshine. Now the clouds have moved in and it really does feel like a gray November day. With the youngest in bed for a nap and the other entertaining themselves, I have a minute to post some photos.



A little ray of summer sunshine...

For the fun of imagination...

All things bright and beautiful,

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful,

The Lord God made them all.

And another bit of warm sunshine...

Have a wonderful day!
