Favs

i have a very good friend, i won't say her name because i know she'll be embarrassed, who is the best photographer maybe ever! i strive to be half as good as she isand i'll spend my lifetime trying, no way! but i love walking through life with my camera. even and especially when i feel blue or lost, the lens reminds me that i live in a beautiful world, that it is up to me to see.


here are some of my photo snippets along the way, in no order, in no specific season or year. just people and places i am blessed to know


vegas



#9, the magic cottage



the house my father and grandfather built. my parents

lived there for 59 years






my street in ptown


the bay at low tide





my mom in the emergency room


look! my book!

I wish you a good weekend ♥

i recommend you keep your eyes open

we need to find the starfish even if its

covered by seaweed.

love

    I forgot to mention I *LOVE* your new header photo!
    All the pics are a delightful *eye-walk*......I think I could live in that beach cottage with the turquoise trim...how nice. (well, till the first storm hits...LOL!)
    Delightful! :-)

    XXOO~~

    It is lovely that you focused your light on the beauty in this world, I believe that is the thing to do, and what may I add is wrong with seaweed, it has it's own beauty does it not :-).xoxo

    thank you anne ♥ that beach cottage is a favorite, RIGHT on the (quiet) beach! the storms requiring preparation but seeing them come in is amazing

    mark, definitely. it's made quite a difference for me. book's getting written xoxo

    annie, yup, you are right, the only problem with seaweed is that it sometimes hides the starfish....(okay, and it's slimy)

    I love that pic of your mom. Her expression is wonderful. And I'm finding starfish...no kidding, Caity put one on the kitchen counter the other day. In the fruit bowl. On a mango. She thought it looked good there. She discovered it while cleaning her room. Like mother, like daughter. :) xox Pam

    I have a camera in my purse at all times. I carry it around so much that one shoulder dips farther than the other! Just doesn't seem right not to keep snapping moments up like penny candy from a pinata!

    I agree - carrying a camera changes how you see things.

    How does your Mom manage to look so cute in an ER?

    wonderful special photos each!

    i think a picture is so much more than a technical thing or even a right or wrong, good or not thing. when photos have deep meaning and beautiful memories, the joy they bring to you is everything.

    you need to get your iphone photos on here!

    of all these fotos i'm had to stop at the one of your mom in the emergency room. what a smile for her to have on her face in such a situation - truly remarkable!

    i love the lonely shot of the beach house too - just sitting there, all by itself. as good beach houses should do ;-)

    love,

    amanda

    p.s. i'm with anne - that new header shot is a major keeper♡ brilliant..
