taken between Boaz, AL and Cullman, AL

love these adirondack chairs in my mom’s back yard.

my mom’s pretty christmas tree.

outside times square…


my first attempt at bokeh…i’ll get better, i promise.

christmas morning…she’s got her jingle bells on.


candy buttons…i’ve only ever seen these up north. i love them.


our auburn ornament….

so far, so good…still keeping up with it. hopefully, the updates will come more like one at a time instead of all at once, because honestly, i think day 7 and 8 are switched.

and for the life of me i can’t remember what day was what last week.
i hope everyone had a very merry christmas!! i’ll post some more NYC pictures later that include my first attempt at street photography.

Days 1 & 2

(our christmas geekery….oh there are stella pictures. trust me, you will see them later.)

so it’s only day 2, and already i’ve sort of cheated. i’ve used my coolpix instead of my nikon. but in all fairness, sometimes it’s a pain to get that camera out and to attach the lens and all that. but i do have two pictures and i am trying…give me credit for that please….

our stockings by our fireplace…..


we had christmas with the in-laws this weekend. this lovely drink is from that. oh and check out the little reindeer wine charm. instead of the rings that go around the stem, these have little suction cups on them. they are so cute. my mother-in-law always finds the cutest things!

365 Photo Remix

· Leave a Comment

so, i’ve been watching people do this 30×30 remix (30 different outfits with 30 different articles of clothing), and decided that i want to do something similar to this. i could never do this 30×30 thing. i already hate everything in my closet, so doing something like that is completely out of the question. but since i have neglected my photography hobby for dancing, i’m going to throw myself back into it, and give you all a different picture for each day of the year. i’m going to start with this tomorrow and go through december 18th of next year. wish me luck, because i could quit by day 20.

Invite me Please!!

A Little Birdie Told Me…

God help us all. The apocalypse has come.
I joined Twitter. (cue the dum dum dummmmm)

i mean did they even need to use the super cute bird that’s all blue with his little beak and his feet? oh how i am a sucker for blue birds! so i joined the cool kids and have a twitter account. you can find me if you want. i don’t remember my username. already, i’m striking out there. i mainly joined because i wanted to follow john mayer, and because with my blackberry, i can check it out from ohhhh…anywhere?

so as i’m sure my “tweets” won’t be earth-shattering news, maybe it’ll be something fun for awhile.

until i forget that i have an account. at least i tried.
