TWO Little Dancers

Time to blog eludes me more often than not. Additionally, I rarely have time to dust of my camera. It is only for special occasions that I make time. I couldn't think of a better occasion than for two little dancers. So, amid the crazy work hours of building a new business, I take a break to brag on and show off the sweetest little boogers you will ever meet. 

Jenna and Janie's Dance Recital 

16 Years and Counting

Friday, July 17th, marked our 16th wedding anniversary.  This guy has my heart, always has.  I couldn't have chosen a better life than what he has given me.  Love you always!

The Dancers

It's dance recital time again! Congratulations to all of the dancers on another great show! 

Sunsets on the Lake

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... Sunset boat rides are my favorite! I know-- How do I know that sunRISE boat rides aren't my favorite? All I can tell you is that I lack the personal willpower and persuasive devices to hitch this early of a boat ride. Until such a time occurs, I am perfectly happy with evening outings.

Holding an excited dog (who, by the way, also loves boat rides) and maintaining upright posture on a moving vessel do not present optimal conditions for photography. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.

Taking one for the team...

To Know Him is to Love Him

To know him is to love him, and boy, do I!

Rock will be 13 years old next month. He leans a touch arthritic, but he is still a puppy at heart.

Today was warm, sunny, and beautiful. I knew he would roll in the grass, so I took my camera. I waited him out, taking pictures of the dandelions. Sure enough...

Sunset Boating

Every once in a great while, I have a good idea. We're not talking mad-scientist/genius level brain function, just... clever? Maybe even dial it down a notch from there to "neat." (You have to deduct points for someone, whose favorite hobby is photography, that totally misses the opportunity to bring her camera along for the first sunset boat ride of the season, which holds major photographic potential...)

Regardless of my carelessness, I did manage to snap a picture of my husband tending to the boats with my iPhone 5c, using my sunglasses, which have a slight pink tint, as a filter. Desperate times call for desperate measures!

Snow!!!

Traditionally, when it snows in the South, it is only enough to make a dirty snowman. This time, we received a proper dusting. From a gloomy, blizzard-like night to a clear, pristine sunrise, it has been beautiful!
