Simple Beauty Of Nature

I just love the beauty of nature. So simple. This little fella is growing under my deck. I happened to notice him when I was going up the stairs and had to capture the amazing perfect beauty. Just goes to show you, everything isn’t always as it seems. Who would have thought this beautiful flowerContinue reading “Simple Beauty Of Nature”

My Gardening Friend | Grasshopper

While weeding the garden this morning I noticed out of the corner of my eye something very tiny moving in the grass. What I found was a tiny little grasshopper happily jumping through the grass. Lucky for me he was quite photogenic! :) He looks big here, but in reality he was merely 1″ longContinue reading “My Gardening Friend | Grasshopper”

Waterfall Nature Walk | May 4, 2015

I had the opportunity the other day to have a couple hours completely to myself later in the afternoon. I took a walk and found a couple gorgeous falls – it was so extremely peaceful, quiet and tranquil. I felt completely refreshed and inspired. The entire drive there the rain was falling, until I arrivedContinue reading “Waterfall Nature Walk | May 4, 2015”

Good Morning On The Beach | Lake Huron Sunrise

I can admit I am not the best morning person. However there are those off chances that the photographer in me is up with the early songs of the birds when the sun is just beginning to peek out for the day.

Darkness and Ice in April

I was up a little earlier listening to the wind whistling and whipping around, ice hitting the windows and deck, and then all was silent. Soon our room was filled with little voices who were woken up by pure darkness… *insert sarcastic mommy face here* So we all slept until about 630 when the kidsContinue reading “Darkness and Ice in April”

Snowflakes. Beautiful. Natural. Winter Creation.

This morning there was a beautiful light fresh snowfall. While standing with my kids I noticed these amazing winter creations falling all over our coats and hats. Breathtakingly beautiful, master pieces, works of art, all created by nature. Simply amazing. My first shot at macro snowflakes. My personal fav

Every Picture Tells A Story… Grand Prize Winner {My sick day, turned Fabulous!}

Yesterday I woke up feeling very rough, two reasons I can admit, one having a kid-less night out and two, the cold I have been fighting for the past week or more had made its way from a head cold to a chest cold and it hurt :( This morning I got the kids fed,Continue reading “Every Picture Tells A Story… Grand Prize Winner {My sick day, turned Fabulous!}”

A winter morning of appreciation

I used to be the photographer who was only about family and what the kids did, until I began pushing myself to appreciate and enjoy everything else I could be photographing. It truly is amazing when you feel yourself reach that point of just being a “mom with a camera” to being a photographer (ofContinue reading “A winter morning of appreciation”
