There are two recurring themes in every book or article I read about improving your photography skills and that is to take your camera everywhere you go and practice, practice, practice. There is a community out there in blog land called The 365 Project where people with a passion for photography hone their skills andContinue reading “Picture a Day | Week 1”

Small Gatherings|June|Light Dinner Al Fresco
After work last night I had several errands to run and Dave needed to do some work in the yard. We decided to get those things done then have a late dinner. By the time we both had completed, it was close to 7:00 pm and still pushing 90 degrees. The last thing I feltContinue reading “Small Gatherings|June|Light Dinner Al Fresco”
Finally ready for summer!
I have always been in charge of any landscaping we have done around our house. My husband does a great job of keeping the lawn looking lush and weed free but he has no interest in any flowers. That was never a problem until the last few years when I started this process of jointContinue reading “Finally ready for summer!”
Join me on Instagram
I need life to slow down a bit. In the past 14 days we have driven to Houston for a long weekend, had family in town and made another trip to Omaha. The time spent with family was wonderful. However, there is just not enough hours in my days to accomplish everything I wantContinue reading “Join me on Instagram”
Indulge this new Oma…..
I am back in Houston this week visiting my new grandson and had the opportunity to do a “photoshoot” for this precious ten day old. The aunties are fighting over who gets to hold their new nephew. Levi even co-operated with a smile….. It is going to be hard to leave him but fortunately IContinue reading “Indulge this new Oma…..”

Everything I have read about becoming a better photographer includes the advice to take your camera with you everywhere you go. I am not very good at doing that because my camera is pretty bulky and heavy. We do have a small Nikon point and shoot and we also have our iphones, but for me,Continue reading “Sea Life Aquarium”
Is it spring yet?
I really should not complain, we have had such mild winters the past couple of years. However, getting the season’s entire allotment of snow in 6 days is a little much. I will admit that I like one good snow event a year, when you are forced to stay home all day and make bread,Continue reading “Is it spring yet?”
KC Pictures and Photoshop
I am working on a photography project for my soon to be completed main bathroom. I want to do a gallery grouping of black and white pictures and have decided to use downtown Kansas City as the theme. I took several downtown pictures last fall when I was taking a photography class, but I reallyContinue reading “KC Pictures and Photoshop”
Steamboat Photography
As a student of photography, you could not ask for more picturesque vistas to experiment with than the landscape of Colorado. The views beg for recording into lasting memories. The subjects are so rich and varied that the techniques do not have to be perfect to create a good picture. Here are just a fewContinue reading “Steamboat Photography”
Saddleback Ranch and ATV’s
Steamboat Springs offers many activities for summer visitors, many more than we had time to participate. One of the favorite places we visited was Saddleback Ranch, an 8000 acre working cattle ranch, fourth generation family owned and operated. I can see why Saddleback is one of the top five rated attractions in Steamboat by TripContinue reading “Saddleback Ranch and ATV’s”
