Happy New Year!

I was in the house working away when my husband, who had been working outdoors, popped his head in the door and said, “You should grab your camera and come check out this sunset.”  I didn’t even think twice about it.  I just picked up my camera and followed him outside.  He was right!  The sunset was lovely, vibrant, majestic.  I found a few spots from which to capture the moment and just soak in the beauty and quite that surrounded me.  Ahhh, what a great last sunset for 2011!  Here is to looking forward to all 2012 will hold – Happy New Year, All!

A Little Bit of Life

This time of year always goes by so fast!  From Fall activities to Thanksgiving and into Christmas, it always seems like a whirl!  Yet each moment is filled with memories that will be treasured forever!  The photos below are a rather eclectic mix of things from everyday life.  Kids all dressed up for a photo shoot, shots of their random footwear and corn gathered from a field after harvest.  Two pictures in this set were taken on a very foggy day, can you tell which ones they are?  There is also a rather “plain” photo of some “weeds” – every time I see these tall weeds they make me smile.  If you look at the image for a moment maybe you will see what brings the smile to my face.  🙂  (The reason is listed at the end of all the photos.)  I also really like the individual photos of leaves along with the lovely berries.  The indoor shots were fun to add…  Of course, the setting sunlight is so pretty, as are the alert animals we see all the time.  So, that is what this post includes – a little bit of everything.  🙂  BTW, can you believe CHRISTmas is only 9 days away?!

Did you take a moment to look at the tall weeds?  Did you see the “heart” they make?  That is what I see ever time I round the corner to our house and it makes me smile.  🙂
