Hatred exists. Sometimes I still just have the hardest time wrapping my mind around this fact. And yet, it's there. You'd think that as a human species who claims to have evolved we'd have learned that hatred solves nothing. nothing. Charlottesville. Charlottesville is just a tiny fragment in the whole of this hateful divisiveness being [...]

Friday Faves – Countdown to Europe Edition
Friday. Countdown to Europe Edition. T minus 7 days until I board a plane with the hubby and three teens and travel off for springtime in Europe! The first flight my kids have been on in over 10 years! The first time 4 of us have ever left United States soil! We've got lots to [...]
WPC -Resilient

Resilient. The photo challenge this week is "Resilient". Pondering those places, people, or things that endure. Reflections proper for the end of the year. Or in my case, the beginning.

Series of the sunset
Series of the sunset. This is an unfiltered, untouched series of the sunset over the course of 20-30 minutes on February 19, 2016. Taken with a Nikon D3200 on the landscape setting. I'm still working on understanding more about settings and also how to sometimes use filters and such to convey exactly what I'd like [...]
Chasing Sunset
I love a good sunset. But then again, who doesn’t? I grew up in Naples, Florida, a place famed for its sunsets on the beach. I also love to be behind the camera. When I am behind the camera, I am completely in the moment, not thinking about the future or the past, just in [...]
