Le Stallion Notebooks
Left to right: Henson (Desert Brown), Garanno (Cocoa Brown), and Ariegois (Ashgray Black) These notebooks are honestly beautiful. I love that they have a table of contents and numbered pages. As a writer, these two features are what's most important to me in a notebook, but the soft and pliable faux leather, metallic charm, and... Continue Reading →
Outdoor Plants and Flowers
Took the Olympus to the front yard. The setting was on Shutter Priority Mode. Minor editing were done in Lightroom and Photoshop. Columbine. Pine cone from the giant pine tree in the yard. The tree is starting to brown at the top. I hope it's not a sign that it's dying. This is a ground... Continue Reading →
Olympus PEN E-PL8 Mirrorless Camera
I purchased this camera on Amazon for $280. The original price was $600. The sale is still going on so if you have extra cash hanging around and want a small camera that can do big things, grab it before it's gone. I'm not being paid for talking about this camera. I'm just excited. It's... Continue Reading →

It was beautiful with the changing colors of the leaves. Where I'm looking toward in the photo was once a damn built in 1890. The dam... Continue Reading →

Our Trip to Florida
Happy New Year! Time is flying by. I can't believe it's already the middle of February. Husband and I have been watching the Olympics and I couldn't believe that four years ago was the winter Olympics in Sochi. It felt like it was just yesterday when that happened. My oldest daughter competed at a national... Continue Reading →
Hiking
This was my first hike this year. This was a really easy hike. The landscape was mainly flat so I did't get much workout in, which is fine for now since it's been awhile. The views were beautiful and very green. We laid down a couple of rocks for Kat, the girl who passed away... Continue Reading →
