A Positive Approach

"A happy heart makes the face cheerful..."
Author: Proverbs 15:13

After all the political season mud-slinging and all the election day backlash flying around in social media circles, I thought I'd post something positive and uplifting today.  We create our own realities. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking and a simple smile.  ;)




Thanks so much for stopping in.

Project Rewind - Week 44

Happy Monday friends! It's hard to believe we're in week 44 of Project 366! I heard Christmas music on the radio this weekend. It's coming! We've had chilly temps here this week and it's feeling more like fall/winter. I am excited for the holidays this year. It's still a little early for Christmas music though!

Anyway, enough of my babbling, here's my rewind:


We made a late dash to the pumpkin patch at our neighborhood church. We were carving pumpkins on Halloween afternoon just before the trick-or-treaters showed up. Always trying to play catch up, I am!

Played with indoor shooting a bit as the weather was cold and rainy. I really need to take a class in on and off camera flash and learn to use my speed lite more productively. 
Lately I'm loving the matte film look for processing. 

I really didn't get many shots of Halloween night. It was dark when we headed out and the kids were all over the place bouncing from house to house. We toured the neighborhood with friends and the kids had a blast. Here's a shot of our group.

We headed into downtown Norfolk one day to explore and shop. I love this multi-level fountain and the kids thought it was so cool to cross through the middle of the flowing water. I wanted to shoot more here but they were running all over and not listening well. I did manage this shot of all four of them and hope to give it another try soon.

 This little girl loves apples. And daddy put the flower in her hair. 
I can't believe she actually wore it for about 5 minutes.

Saturday we went to three soccer games. 
My oldest is in the advanced league tournament this season! It was chilly, but fun.

Lastly, I shot this pic of Little Miss with my iPhone. It's not a great shot, but I love that she still looks a bit like a baby here. She's growing up so fast!



That's it for this week. What have you been up to?

Back to the Hunt!

Sunday, November 4, 2012

Well, it has been a few weeks since I have managed to participate in the Scavenger Hunt. I have missed it! I finally got my act together this week so here goes...

 Wild- I shot this out of the hotel window when I was shooting the wedding with Sarah. Sandy was pulling into town:

Welcome - welcoming Halloween:

Adventure - we took an impromptu drive into the city and the kids loved the adventure:

Vibrant - this was also taken in the city. We found a new park:

Classic - my mom moved into town a couple of months ago and has given me boxes of things I grew up with. These books from my childhood are such a treasure!:

That's it for this week. Thanks so much for stopping in.
Be sure to stop by Ashley's place for more Scavenger Hunt fun!

Well, I may have said that I wasn't going to share any Halloween photos today, but I'm eating my words. These were too cute not to share. My little ninja-man:
