the windmill.....


there is nothing better than sitting on a front porch, listening to nothing but the creeks of an old windmill. this is our neighbors windmill, and it's old and beautiful!!! i was just at their house a little bit ago, where my neighbor and friend, lois, was teaching me some 'knitting' skills! yes, can you believe it!!! KNITTING!!! ha!
anyway, i was walking to the car, and i heard the noise of the windmill turning, and looked up, and saw beautiful white clouds, blue sky, and the windmill. and i HAPPEN to have my camera! so i couldn't resist! such a beautiful sight! don't know if i captured it good enough for you to enjoy it as much as i did......but here it is anyway!

FALL IS HERE!!!!!!


the kids said, "mommy make us a leaf pile to play in!!!"..........so i did. i don't think they quite knew what to do with them after getting in them??? i don't think they understood why mommy was "allowing them to roll on the ground :) " but they did have fun, and this picture was 1 of my favorties.

About Me

well....where do i begin?? i have never done a "blog" before, and don't know if this is even for me. but a few friends, and one very persistant sister-in-law(esther)really encouraged me to start some sort of "blog" or any place online, to share photos i have taken. so i thought, what the heck!? most everyone knows that photography has been a hobby of mine for a few years now. so with lots of practice, lots of failing, lots of reading and googling, i feel like little by little i'm getting a little better all the time. and part of the reason for getting better, is because of the famous gina..... whom EVERYONE loves and knows, she has been letting me pick her brain for tips and tricks. also, kris, who i met online after joining a photography forum, who happens to be an awesome wedding phogtographer, she has been a TON of help as well! since i have 3 children, my goal is to be able to truly capture, like a professional can capture, the pure innocence and fun of my children. (and i get it for free!) and, since i have lots of wonderful friends & family, i get to practice on them, too!
