I had a great time shooting family portraits Saturday morning. The family joked around, laughed constantly, and willingly tried some of my goofy portrait ideas. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did!
Day 322: It’s the Season of Food
Yesterday we had a big Thanksgiving lunch at work. Dessert is sometimes the best (and prettiest) part of the meal. One meal down, three to go. I’d better break out the stretchy pants.
Days 320-321: A Wintery Mix
Here are my photos from yesterday and today; they both remind me of cold temps – both inside and out.
Day 319: Squirrely Squirrel
For some odd reason, I’ve been wanting to capture a photo of a squirrel for months. I’m not sure why; maybe it’s just the thrill of photographing something that’s so fast and sneaky. On a walk yesterday, I finally caught my break!
Day 318: Salute!
Thanks to the Night of Hope silent auction, we came home with three wine bottles and two wine glasses to complete our wine rack. You would think we were wine connoisseurs. We definitely are not, but we can appreciate a good glass of vino every once in a while. Salute!
Days 316-317: Night of Hope, Day of Renewal
This weekend finally arrived … and passed too quickly. I was so looking forward to the Night of Hope – a Pancreatic Cancer Action Network gala – 1) because it was our first time attending a gala, and 2) the cause is close to my heart. My aunt passed away from pancreatic cancer last July, just 8 months after being diagnosed. Since then I’ve met so many people who have been affected by this horrible disease. It was a roller coaster of emotions; it was fun to dress up and get a fancy hotel room, but it was also incredibly touching to witness the Vigil for Hope, where everyone lit purple lights in memory of their loved ones.
Day 315: Breaking Dawn
As the sun began to rise in the east yesterday morning, the moon was still setting off to the west.
(And thanks again to our veterans; yesterday, today, and every day; for your honor and bravery!)
Day 314: Happy Veterans Day!
This photo has absolutely nothing to do with Veterans Day. I tried to think of a way to tie them together, but I got nothin’. I didn’t want to bypass this holiday without saying thank you to all the veterans for serving our country and protecting us. And I might just say thank you tomorrow too, so you don’t feel like you’re only appreciated one day of the year.
Day 313: From Nail Biting to Nail Painting
Now that our big move is over, I can finally de-stress. I’m really looking forward to this Saturday’s Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Hope Gala. I figured it was time to get rid of my blue toenail polish and replace it with a classier red. (If you want to attend, tickets are still available! The event is at Union Station and includes dinner, drinks, silent & live auction, raffle, and music – all for just $75.)
Day 312: My Trek is Crying
We’ve only been in our new place for a few days, so we haven’t found a good place to store our bikes yet. It makes me cringe to think that my beautiful bike spent the last two days outside in the rain. I need to clean and oil the chain and find a protected spot for it pronto!
