Scavenger Hunt Sunday

i haven't participated in SHS in a few weeks.

i miss it!!

life gets away with you.

but as i was browsing through all the great prompts on other blogs this morning, i thought i could throw a quick post together as i have been shooting, just not with SHS prompts in mind. so..i may be stretching a few here.

my senior is keeping me busy, so most are from prom shoots!

1)beneath your feet

or dress..captured hidden tattoo!

2)capturing movement

shooting at this wine vineyard was amazing!

3)texture

4)face your fears

i love 'under the tuscan sun'!

but would i have the courage to jump off a tour bus with my suitcase, buy a run down tuscan villa and start a new life?

this is the winery we shot at.  

5)currently

prom styles this year.

hope to get back on SHS track here!

have a blessed week everyone!

collide

Why?
The question that is never far away
The healing doesn’t come from the explained
Jesus please don’t let this go in vain
You’re all I have
All that remains

So here I am
What’s left of me
Where glory meets my suffering

I’m alive
Even though a part of me has died
You take my heart and breathe it back to life
I’ve fallen into Your arms open wide
When the hurt and the healer collide

Breathe
Sometimes I feel it’s all that I can do
Pain so deep that I can hardly move
Just keep my eyes completely fixed on You
Lord take hold and pull me through

So here I am
What’s left of me
Where glory meets my suffering

I’m alive
Even though a part of me has died
You take my heart and breathe it back to life
I’ve fallen into your arms open wide
When the hurt and the healer collide

It’s the moment when humanity
Is overcome by majesty
When grace is ushered in for good
And all our scars are understood
When mercy takes its rightful place
And all these questions fade away
When out of the weakness we must bow
And hear You say “It’s over now”

I’m alive
Even though a part of me has died
You take my heart and breathe it back to life
I’ve fallen into your arms open wide
When The hurt and the healer collide

mercy me





3 plus 1 = family

it's after midnight.

i am winding down from my shift.

scrolling through my archives.

this picture stood out to me for so many reasons.

but most importantly it represents my family.

i am the wife, the mother, the female, the tulip standing on it's own on the left.

my husband, my two sons, my men, the three tulips on the right.

we are all different in many ways.

three boys. one girl.

together.

family.

so many blessings i have been given!

3 takes

i was aching to touch my camera today. so i headed out into the yard to check out our wild orange poppies!

they are so beautiful!

i also had my vintage manual canon lens on as i finally got the adaptor to start using them.

here are 3 takes on the same shot.

just a few craetive juices flowing to

get me inspired again!

blessings!

a moment...

life seems to be whizzing by the last few weeks. i need to slow down and 'be still' for a moment. haven't posted in a while OR had the chance to bring out my camera and just shoot.

so this morning i felt a strong desire to drag a photo out of the archives and just play a bit.

this was a random dandelion shot, wasn't the best capture, so i played around with adding a texture and saturation.

it may not speak to anyone but me, but that's okay.

i was still for a moment here.

and that's what i needed.
