I recently was the photographer for my niece’s wedding. She was a beautiful bride, and everyone looked lovely at the wedding. We ran into some issues, which affected what photos we were able to take – things were running late, and the weather did not cooperate (rain and thunderstorms). We were going to take the […]
August 7, 2011 was the date I started this blog. I wasn’t sure about starting one and wondered if I could/would keep it up. I also wondered about what the purpose of my blog would be. I think I can express those thoughts a bit more now. I would like to have this blog: Reflect […]
I’ve been asked to be the photographer at a wedding very soon. This is fairly new to me. I did a wedding for my niece 5 years ago, but didn’t have much time to get nervous about it as I only had a few days’ notice. A friend offered to have me use her equipment […]
We had the privilege of having a visitor on the boat with us the other day. A butterfly kept landing on us, and hitching a ride. It would flit from my husband to me and then back again. We stopped the boat so that I could take some pictures … and it was still a […]
During most evenings in the summer, we take the boat for a trip around the lake. I like this time of year. The view is very interesting as the clouds and sunsets are always different. We never know quite how it will look when we head out. It’s a very relaxing time and a great […]
My camera broke. This was not a nice feeling for me. The main dial no longer allows me to change my shutter or aperture. I was looking into getting it repaired, but my husband and I talked about it, and I’ve decided to get a new camera. In the meantime, I wanted to test the […]
A friend gave me an orchid as a thank you gift. I don’t have much of a green thumb, so I was concerned about whether I could keep it living or not. All that I have ever known (or thought I knew) about orchids is that they are delicate and difficult to keep growing. She […]
West Guilford puts on a pretty good fireworks show. It’s held over Pine Lake, and looks great. Lately, we haven’t gone right to Pine Lake to watch it as we are able to see them from our own lake. We can stand on our dock to watch them, and listen to them as the sound […]
A few weeks ago, it was the time when turtles are laying their eggs. We saw a lot of snapping turtles (or snappers) on the side of the roads looking for places to lay their eggs. I wanted to take some photos, so we decided to stop. They don’t move very quickly which makes it […]
Dandelions … most people hate them … others like them. They are a weed, and usually are not wanted, especially on nicely manicured lawns. I enjoy the looks of the dandelions when they are bright and yellow and I enjoy the look when they look like powder balls and are ready to spread their seeds. I […]
