Ho-Hum

This is kinda how I feel today.  A mish-mash of color, weepy and washing away.  


I think that is what happens when you start out with a full check book and then you pay the bills.

Can anyone guess...

what this beautiful bloom is from?


This little gem is the product of my okra plant.  Beauty in the oddest places...

Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico...  Andy and I went for 5 days of humid, hot fun.





Funny story about our trip.  I went to the spa, Andy went golfing.  He was golfing all by himself so he called me after 9 holes to see if I wanted to ride along the last 9.  Sure, I had nothing else to do.  He had to buy more balls anyway, he had already lost like a dozen!  And the girl had told him before he started that if his ball went into the rough to leave it.  It wasn't really rough, so much as jungle.  We found out why you leave them later on, as we came across IGUANAS.  Not little iguanas, like 6 foot long, mean looking iguanas.  They just hung out on the course, and if your ball got close to them, you let them just have it!

Just in case I forget...

Here is another one, just for summer.  This is probably just my favorite because Abby is too darn cute.

Maybe a new direction...

Clearly I am not cut out for multiple postings in a week, much less even one.  I think of all these great things, but than I find, maybe it isn't so great after all.  So, let me tell you what I am going to do...

I have been studying up on Photography.  I have wanted to be a serious photographer since high school.  I have no formal training, just what I have learned by trial and error through the years.  I have done 3 weddings, one I actually got paid for, and one set of senior pictures.  Definitely a novice when it comes right down to it!

And now, with the economy being the way it is, I will be taking one day off a week.  Bad, but good, because now I find myself with one day a week that while the kids are in school, I can focus my time on really learning photography.  So, I will post at least one new photo a week.  Sometimes a description, or sometimes just a photo.

Here is my first...


I just finished reading about lighting and started playing with my camera.  Amy is usually camera-shy, but I just kept taking different pictures of her as she talked to me.  And here it is.  One of my favorite pictures ever!  Purely by accident!  Never the less, love it!
