Highway 50...

Why do you think they call in the loneliest highway in America?? This is where it starts...

Feathers...

Feathers... soft, quiet, unique. I love a good feather pillow - actually the best is one for my head, and one under my knees, cushioning the bend. They make the most delightful padding to rest my head upon. Jerry, on the other hand prefers a flat foam, somewhat hard pillow. Oh, the simple differences discovered in marital bliss.

MK Challenge ~ Quiet

It's funny - I thought this challenge would be easy, and it turned out to actually be one of the most vexing of all the challenges. Quiet is neither soft nor silent, it is not rest or relax. Quiet is not necessarily peaceful. Quiet is something you don't hear, but could hear. Unlike the young mothers of the MK duo, I experience quiet every day. My house is quiet when I walk through the door. My car is quiet while I drive. You see, my days have moments so quiet you could hear a pin drop. I miss the excited chatter and giggles of children, running through the door and through the house. I miss a house full of teenagers, laughing, turning their music too loud. While this empty nest of mine is often enjoyable; at last a minute to myself, the longing for something less than quiet is all to present.

Little Mace ....

I seriously had so much fun this weekend. My photog daughter, Kourt, let me hang out with her while she shot some fam pics of my niece's family. I took these fun shots of Mace. He is so cute and just over one years old. He is so photogenic! These are some favs. Thanks Kourt for letting me come.

Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head...

Enjoying a night of rain and mist. You get such interesting photos in the rain, leaving the aperture wide open. I love photographing different textures. There is always something that needs it's picture taken.

MK Challenge - Favorite Indulgence...

Oh, no... I have so many indulgences, it is hard to choose. But this challenge did make me take stock of myself, and look at the indulgences I have. Purses, cheesecake, getting my hair done, etc. I chose this indulgence for two reasons - 1. Buying a lipstick makes me feel good. A secret little treat just for me (at least I don't think Jerry borrows these). 2. They are so girly, creamy, colorful and fun to photograph.

But, who am I trying to kid - my super, duper real indulgence is:

Need I say more!!!

Honey Crisp...

OK, I love apples. I eat one or two every single day. My very, very favorite are Honey Crisp. They magically appear about mid-September and you can usually get them through October. They are also magically de...lish. Crisp, juicy. OK, I get it, I blog about mudane stuff. But, I did make a committment to blog. So, you get my apple ramblings. But just look how yummy they look. Don't you want one now??
