I uploaded the video a week ago wanting to share the video and photos at the same time, but the photos were delayed because something else came up, and then couldn't decide if I should go ahead with the video and share the photos later. Finally decided to wait and do both video and photos... Continue Reading →
I created this watercolor card for husband following a tutorial on YouTube. Husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary in Chicago, IL. We spent a couple of days in the city and made sure to have dinner at Giordano’s—the restaurant where we realized we liked each other, and so sat together. We thought we’d found... Continue Reading →
The marigolds I planted in the yard didn't turn out, so I went and bought just a few from Lowe's and planted them in a pot. There were so many different pretty flowers that I just had to take photos of them.
Went to see the Water Lantern Festival in Colorado Springs. It was an enjoyable experience relaxing by the lake and drawing on our lanterns before setting it out onto the water.

This was taken yesterday evening and doesn't really depict what it actually looked like in real life. The sun was red. Somehow in photos, it's yellow with a reddish glow. I just wanted to share how easily it was to look at the sun (and take a photo of it).
I don't watch the news that much so I wasn't aware there was a pretty bad fire in New Mexico. Husband had mentioned a day or two before that there was fire because the sunsets had been looking more red and orange than usual. This was the view yesterday evening from the car as husband...

My youngest is starting high school this fall, can you believe it? Life can feel so surreal sometimes. It isn't just the passing of time but the way people change, the way the world has changed, and the way the world is changing. We think we know it all, but at the end of the... Continue Reading →
