Daily Prompt: RSVP (Celebration) — Birthday Celebration!

Daily Prompt:  RSVP “Plan the ultimate celebration for the person you’re closest to, and tell us about it. Where is it? Who’s there? What’s served? What happens?  Photographers, artists, poets: show us CELEBRATION. “ We had several of the family members together to celebrate my grandpa’s birthday a couple of years ago — it was […]

Daily Prompt: Four Stars (Life) — My daughter!

The original Daily Prompt can be found here:  Daily Prompt:  Four Stars (Life) No matter what else I accomplish in this life, this is the most important — my daughter.  She’s growing up to be a wonderful, warm-hearted, funny, fun-loving, beautiful – inside and out – young lady.

Daily Prompt: Green-eyed Monster

Today’s Daily Prompt:  “Tell us about the last time you were really, truly jealous of someone. Did you act on it? Did it hurt your relationship?  Photographers, show us something GREEN.” Since I’m a photographer and don’t really want to examine all the old feelings and issues that the other topic would bring up right […]

Travel Theme: Beaches

Who doesn’t have wonderful beach photos to share?  We visit Vero Beach, Florida regularly and here are a few of my favorites from the past couple of years.  I hope you get the same sense of peace and power that I get when I see the ocean! This is the first sunrise of 2013.  My […]

Weekly Challenge: Up!

Such a fun challenge! Today I spent time at one of my favorite local neighborhood ponds totally enjoying the beautiful 70-degree weather, along with a million other people!  🙂 So as I was sitting there, thinking about the challenges for this week, I realized that I was staring at the moon through the tree branches.

One of my favorite places to enjoy is Farmers Branch’s “City in a Park” where they have beautiful rose bushes of every color, along with an old cemetery, […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: Color

Color — This challenge was answered today when I was capturing images for another challenge (bugs, bees, and creepy crawlies).  When I was processing today’s images, I realized that this little (tiny!) bug stood out with the bright red coloring against the stone it was on.  I really liked the “pop” of color, so this […]

Weekly Challenge: Lost in the Details

I was out at the Farmers Branch Historical Park a while ago and just love photographing the old buildings that they’ve collected and restored/preserved there from the areas surrounding Dallas.  I took this shot of the Victorian house there, but it didn’t really do anything for me. I wanted more details.  🙂  So I walked […]

Weekly Photo Challenge: Forward

I had to sit and really think about what I wanted to post for this weekly challenge, and I decided that this photo was “Forward” to me, leading to something in front of me.  There are SO many different ways to interpret this single word, but I wanted something that was very straightforward and everyone […]
