The Winter Blanket

The trees just look so cozy with their winter blankets on, beautifully covered in snow. I am happy to say I am finally beginning to feel more like me again! These photo challenges have really helped keep me inspired and better focused (than drifting over to social media). Ive been back on my vitamins nowContinue reading “The Winter Blanket”

Winter Rural Roads

Ive always wanted THIS picture… The snow blanketing each branch beautifully. The warmth felt, although its snowing and cold. The snow covered road. As I was driving home, I admired the trees and knew I was coming in to get the dog and my camera. I put on my 85mm macro lens and went out.Continue reading “Winter Rural Roads”

And then this little boy arrived, reminding me so much of my own little boy,Continue reading “Winter Has Arrived”

How to Survive November 2025 | 29

The light at the end of a hard month. The day after my brother was buried, our sweet nephew was born. He has been such a bright light for all of us. The roundness of his wee head, as well as his sisters. Especially as a mama of teens, one almost no longer a “teen”,Continue reading “How to Survive November 2025 | 29”

How to Survive November 2025 | 28

These round dishes are a staple in our home, for both our dog and our cats. These are the dog dishes, he is a messy water drinker. His bowls had a thorough washing after this photo was taken ;) I tried to stick within our home for this challenge – to push myself! The NovemberContinue reading “How to Survive November 2025 | 28”
