Last evening husband was grilling some (tender and juicy) steak for dinner and when I stepped outside to hang with him, the first thing he said was, "Look at that sunset!" I immediately went for the camera. It's not like I don't see these every day. It's just that when I do see them, I... Continue Reading →
When I stepped outside this morning I was expecting clear skies and the air to be slightly warmer than normal but instead saw clouds and was bitten by the chill. At least this afternoon the sky is clear. And, some might consider it warm but it's still chilly to me. Yesterday, I was tired and... Continue Reading →

I got a Holga from my secret santa (my sister) and was the happiest person on earth. I've been wanting one for a very long time. It is a very light plastic camera. I think even lighter than the 110 camera I used to have back in the 80's. Holga's are supposed to produce dreamy... Continue Reading →
She spins the world around. You can tell she's a princess. She doesn't need a crown. These were the words Kylie sang one evening last month while playing a game on the computer. Her back was to me and she sang her heart out. I was able to capture her singing on my cell phone... Continue Reading →
