Makes You Think & Dream.....



One of my fave photographs I took last year

I hope to get back to my photography lessons when I'm feeling better. I miss taking photographs and loading them up on the Mac to see what I've been able to capture.  I just don't have the energy to do much with it right now.  I'm hoping to gift myself with the Canon 135 mm lens for my birthday if I'm better...its been on the "wish" list for awhile but its a steep investment. I have yet to hear a bad review on it so I know it would be put to good use, but hard to justify the cost when I have a daughter graduating, needing a car and headed to college soon.  So we shall see.


Anyway if you like to look at stunning photographs you have to check out
  Elena Shumilova's Flickr album.
She lives in Russia and is a mom who simply loves to photograph her children and nature. There aren't even words to describe her photographs.  They certainly invoke different feelings, a kind of longing that I cannot explain myself.  But I have looked at them a bajillion times just because they are simply......beautiful.


So I'm sharing a couple photographs of her's, but please check out her Flickr Album as well and prepare to be amazed, stunned and left a bit breathless.

Beauty Around You!

 STOP...and Smell the Roses
(well kinda)

Sometimes you have to just stop...smell the flowers AND see the beauty in nature that surrounds you.  Tonight I walked the dogs and the woods were aglow with lightening bugs that the woods seemed to just sparkle.  I was wishing I had my camera and the talent to capture it...amazing!

I rush from one to-do to the next most days but I try to find a few minutes each day to STOP and smell the roses..well kinda...you get what I mean!  It gives me a chance to catch my breath and carry on with my day on a positive note.



These pics are of a beautiful butterfly that was flittering on my butterfly bush the other day.  It was GORGEOUS and I grabbed my camera and was able to capture it in all its beauty for just a moment. Ahhhh and then on with the day......................
