Whoa.  Can't believe it's been so long since I've updated the blog.  Time has gone by so quickly.  In the words of that one country song it (time) keeps marching on.  Well what's done is done, what's missed is missed.  I'll not go back and retroactively add photos.  Instead, I'll start anew with photos taken within the last couple of weeks:  

It's great to share the shot above.  This trail is right next to my house.  The best photos seem to be the unplanned, un-staged, and spontaneous ones.  For me at least, if it looks like it took a lot of work to put together, then it probably takes a bit of work to look at.  This photo was cake.

To take my own advise, this shot took two seconds to shoot.  The time saved in shooting was more than made up for in the editing stage.  Brown was the dominant color in the original photograph, but with a little work the leap was made to transform the color to blue.  

Had to throw this picture in.  Secretly, it's only because it's a shot of my puppy.  :-D

Isn't he cute?

It's so lucky to have photogenic friends that don't mind having their picture taken.  Whitney and I found a wonderful spot on a very extremely long wicked steep iron man quality but fun hike that showcased the light from the setting sun perfectly.  It was very good timing.  

Everything in my photography doesn't have to be whimsical.  Though I admit to being biased toward the pastels, there are times when black and white are certainly the way to go.  My husband, super though manly-man, cutie that likes strawberry shakes ;-), really appreciated this shot of the tree line.  

More photos to come soon.  

In the mean-time, treat people like flowers and plan to check back in!
